Just a note to all Pilots that we will be starting a Weekly Event beginning Friday, Feb. 7th. at 0000 Zulu hr. It will be a weekly Landing contest where pilots will fly the same aircraft, to the same airport, with the same loaded weight, the same loaded fuel and attempt to record the "softest" landing rate. Each week the airport and aircraft will change. You'll have 24 hrs. to try as many times as you like. To add a bit more spice, you can fly back to the original airport and attempt the "softest" landing there as well!

So, for this inaugural event we will fly Flt. Number: ERRKRM06 / PAEN - PANC / 206 / PAYLOAD= 170 LBS. / FUEL= 20% (110.4 LBS) 52 NM Direct

And, if you want to, Fly back to Kenai. Flt. Number: ERR7H832 / PANC - PAEN / 206 / PAYLOAD= 170 LBS. / FUEL= 20% (110.4 LB) 52 NM Direct

Contest begins at 0000 Zulu Time ( 1600 hrs. PST 1800 hrs. CST 1900 hrs. EST ) Contest ends at 0000 Zulu Time Feb. 8th. (Saturday)

The next Landing Contest will be held on Friday, Feb. 14th, (Valentine's Day) Airports TBA

Hope to see some "greased" landings and lot's of participation!!

Dave - Operations Manager

Will be there!

EVENT IS OPEN! Join us on Teamspeak and/or VATSIM! We hope to have a good turnout for this First Landing Competition!

A couple of good landing rates already! ERR147 Cameron with a -31 FPM followed by ERR277 Bruno with a -34FPM.... its going to be a close race!

UPDATE: Some very challenging conditions up here today! Winds variable from 20 - 39 Knts. ! On approach to Kenai I found winds 54 @ 35 then then just as quickly winds 345 @ 39....winds at Anchorage are 009 @ 17. Come join the fun!

Well, so far its ERR147 Cameron who holds the lead at -31 FPM followed closely by ERR277 Bruno with a very respectful -34 FPM and closely after that is ERR660 Tomas with another fine landing rate of -48 FPM! Then it was ERR483 Dave with a -58 FPM. Gentlemen well done! The winds have been erratic and treacherous so these are outstanding landings. I might add that ERR147 Cameron also posted a rate of -361 as did ERR483 Dave -292 so that's a pretty big spread. Final tally will be posted Saturday 2-8-14........................
