The FGFC '''"Mayday 1: Manitoba Rescue"''' operation was held April 2nd, 2011 at CYAV, Winnipeg/St.Andrews, with seven pilots participating. The scenario stated two of Manitoba's major rivers were flooding, and people were stranded along both, so STOL and helicopter pilots were mustered at CYAV, received assignments from ATC, planned their flights, and notified ATC when they were ready to proceed. A total of twenty missions were assigned, sixteen of which were successfully completed in the space of three hours. | The FGFC '''"Mayday 1: Manitoba Rescue"''' operation was held April 2nd, 2011 at CYAV, Winnipeg/St.Andrews, with seven pilots participating.

La operación de FGFC '''"Mayday 1: Rescate | La operación de FGFC '''"Mayday 1: Rescate en Manitoba"''' se llevó a cabo el 02 de Abril de 2011 en CYAV, Winnipeg/St.Andrews, con siete pilotos participantes. El escenario indica como dos de los principales ríos de Manitoba se desbordaron, y las personas quedaron varadas a lo largo de ellos, reuniendo a los pilotos STOL y de helicópteros en CYAV, recibiendo asignaciones de ATC, planeando sus vuelos, y notificando al ATC cuando estaban listos para proceder. Un total de veinte misiones fueron asignadas, dieciséis de las cuales concluyeron con éxito en el espacio de tres horas. | ||
The scenario was based around the idea that pilots should have basic skills in addition to merely flying with an autopilot, and was designed to test both their actual flying ability by not having airports at their destinations, and providing no actual navigational data beyond a map or two. They were required to map their routes in territory unknown to them, then fly those routes in their chosen aircraft, land, report in, then return to CYAV to complete a "cycle." Points were awarded for cycle completion, and points deducted for aircraft crashes. FG Seg faults were not penalized. | The scenario was based around the idea that pilots should have basic skills in addition to merely flying with an autopilot, and was designed to test both their actual flying ability by not having airports at their destinations, and providing no actual navigational data beyond a map or two.
