MSA is published on instrument approach procedure charts made by the autority that designed the procedure, so you can't "determine" it yourself. If there are no MSA, you should use the MORA to stay safe above ground until you visually can see it. Yes, FL95 on that chart is as I said limit of the lower controlled airspace. It is never used as MORA in real life, but it was a suggestion for you to use if you had no other MORA sources. As far as I know, except for TMA and CTRs, the lower limit of controlled airspace is safe and a MORA or MSA is usually lower. It would be strange if a mountain penetrated the limit of lower controlled airspace. But as mentioned - I'm not 100% sure. Still - for flight simulator, you should be fairly safe at FL95 in that area.

1 - You can use the ICAO FPL form to see how to file a Y (IFR departure, VFR arrival) flight plan. http://files.eurofpl.eu/originalfpl/pdfs/EuroFPL-ICAO_Flightplan_Form_Basics-latest.pdf As far as I can remember VATSIM only supports IFR and VFR in item 8 when filing a FPL (in a real FPL you'd enter Y for IFR-VFR or Z for VFR-IFR). So I'd choose an IFR FPL. You can still indicate to ATC the point you want to change from IFR to VFR in the route part of your FPL. The correct format is to indicate the fix you want to change from IFR to VFR and enter VFR behind. For example OSMUM VFR As you suggest you can indicate this by a regular fix, VOR or NDB, a coordinate (very useful for ATC online as this will show your route point on the radar screen) or a Radial and distance from a known VOR/NDB: RBU281045 VFR 2 – Your TAWS will not be enough to start descend. You should use MORA altitudes until you are within 25 NM from destination and can use the MSA altitudes. If you have Jeppesen Enroute charts, you can find the MORA altitudes as numbers within a square, for example 98 where the 8 is a little smaller than the 9. This indicates 9800 ft. Unfortunately I do not know where you can find MORA altitudes without Jeppesen. If you do not have Jeppesen I’d go for AIP Norway enroute charts instead and find the lowest controlled airspace altitude over your destination – FL135 for the ENOP area, or FL95 if you use the fix OSMUM as transfer point to VFR. https://www.ippc.no/norway_aip/current/aip/EN_ENR_6_2-3_en.pdf

Ny sektorfil er klar. Versjon 4.1 AMDT 0514 Det er brukt godt over 100 timer på denne oppdateringen som inneholder endringer fra AMDT 02, 03, 04 og ikke minst 0514 (SNAP). Hovedårsaken til at det har tatt mye tid er fordi mesteparten av sektorfila sør av Namsos har blitt laget helt på nytt. Siden det var viktig å få ut en sektorfil som er "brukanes", må en regne med at det er endel bugs i denne versjonen. Både visuelle og operative. Send meg gjerne en mail når du finner noe som kan være feil, så sjekker jeg det ut: etfosse at yahoo punktum no LoA i Stavanger AoR og Bodø Sektor 18 og 19 (SNAP området) er enda ikke klart, så dette vil ikke fungere før senere. Filen kan lastes ned fra ES. De skal være live der nå. Eventuelt kan du laste ned fra Dropbox: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16066714/Norway_NC_2014_05_v41.7z Dette er en mer detaljert liste over det som er endret: AIP AMDT 0214 New SIG points established and withdrawn ENBO - SID revised ENBN - SID revised ENEV - P-RNAV SID/STAR and RNAV(GNSS) PROC established.

Meget bra!

Det kan absolutt stemme! STARen lå der, men under de kovensjonelle STARene. Det er rettet opp i. Takk for tipset.

Now there should be a sector file in the list below named ”Norway – Vatsim-Scandinavia” Version 2013_03_v35. 10. Make sure there is a green tick in the ”A” box of the sector file. This means that Euroscope will activate the automatick download of this sector file each time euroscope starts. 11. Click [Download] , and as soon as the file is downloaded, the ”D” box will get a green tick. This means that the sector file is successfully downloaded. 12.

Da lurer jeg på om du ville vært interessert i å bidra med å sette opp et såkalt MLAT system sammen med Flightradar24.com i Finnmark. Systemet bruker triangulering for å angi posisjonen til fly med mode-S transponder, dvs at fly fra f.eks Widerøe og Lufttransport vil bli synlige på Flightradar24. Selv skal jeg og noen av mine kollegaer prøve å sette opp opptil fire mottakere i området rundt Kirkenes, men ideelt bør det stå mottakere så mange steder som mulig. Dersom du har mulighet til å sette opp en mottaker på et hustak, eller annet høyt sted med klar sikt til horisonten, gjerne i nærheten av en flyplass i Finnmark, hadde jeg satt pris på en mail (etfosse(a)yahoo.no)eller PM fra deg så vi kan diskutere saken nærmere. Systemet trenger ikke å kobles til noen datamaskin, men må ha tilgang til internett 24 timer i døgnet. Flightradar24 kan være interessert i å sponse alt av utstyr for å få systemet på plass. Ta kontakt dersom du er interessert i å hjelpe! Ha en fin dag, Eivind

Flott, da skal jeg se på det! Takk for det.

Når noen lager scenery for nye Gardermoen. Jeg har ikke fått med meg at det er laget enda..?
