Hi all,
We are going to re-start IFR flights - following the same relaxed format as the weekly VFR flights, but using the big jets to travel between international airports. We will choose routes where the flight can be completed in about 60 to 90 minutes - depending on the aircraft. I'm tempted to only publish the departure and destination airfields - and leave it to each pilot to arrange their own flight plan - either taking the advised flight plan from the simulator, or working up their own flight plan in LittleNavMap, SimBrief, Navigraph, or whatever else they might use.
If we state that the flights will depart at 2000UTC, we just need to establish which day of the week we would prefer them to happen on.
Please indicate in the poll which days work for you.

Tallying the votes between the Discord server, and the Forum, it's a tie between Wednesday and Saturday night for the IFR flights. Given that we already have a weekly VFR flight on a Sunday night, I'm going to organise the inaugural return to IFR flights for the next few Wednesday nights, and see how we go. They will start at 9pm BST (2000UTC), and will aim to be between 60 and 90 minutes long (based on cruise speed of aircraft such as the A320, CJ4, CRJ and dare I say it, 737)

Following a discussion during the flight last night, I am moving the IFR flights forward an hour to 8pm BST / 1900 UTC going forward. I may not be able to make some of them, but I'm sure those that arrive can organise themselves
