Club & Activities
The Flying Club is a collection of FG enthusiasts who band together and fly impromptu flights and organize more formal get-togethers which are announced on the FlightGear Forum and on various IRC channels in advance. We also host virtual fly-ins and one-on-one help flights for newer pilots still learning, among other things.
Our most regular event is the 'Saturday Night Scramble' - where all those on the #FlyingClub channel who are around on a Saturday evening (UTC) pick an aircraft, pick a destination, and all fly there.
Requirements?
To keep up in flights, one should be a fairly competent simulation pilot, able to follow a flight plan and navigate in strange territory, though the Club won't knowingly leave anyone behind. If you're not sure, contact someone in the club and ask. It is also recommended that you are capable of flying various different types of aircraft, warbirds like the Bf109, utility aicraft like the PC-6 and jets like the Cessna Citation II are examples of types flown by the club.
