Four Flights

Effective today, members can now log flights to destinations on the fourflights.com website. The way that site is set up one destination for each of the four flight rules are displayed: VFR, MVFR, IFR, and LIFR. Additionally, the 20 closest airports to each of the destinations are also displayed. Members can choose any route pair and log time flown on that route.

For example, currently the following four destinations have been identified by fourflights.com:

KMCN - Middle Georgia Regional Airport LIFR
KAEX - Alexandria International Airport IFR
KMTO - Coles County Memorial Airport MVFR
KPMD - Palmdale Flight-Test Airport VFR

Each of these has 20 nearest airports identified as well. So if you wanted to fly to Middle Georgia Regional Airport, which has a 2200 foot broken ceiling, visibility 3/4 miles in thunderstorms and rain, you could start your flight from Columbus Metropolitan Airport at 66 NM away, Birmingham International Airport at 166 NM away, or any of the other 18 airports listed there.

Please note that some of the fourflights.com airports may be regional airports and small municipal fields - please choose your aircraft wisely.

I do not know how you do it, but AeroTexas is the best kept little secret in all of VATSIM as far as I know! new stuff being introduced all the time. And the short hauls into bad IFR conditions are my favorite - only here can one be assured to find a flight or two into such murky conditions!

Thanks!
