“Best (P)Hub before North Pole” lautet das Motto des VATSIM-Events am zweiten Weihnachtstag. Hamburg Fuhlsbüttel liegt genau auf dem Rückweg des Weihnachtsmanns zum Nordpol. Nachdem er nun Tausende von Haushalten mit Geschenken versorgt hat, kann er hier einen Zwischenstopp auf ein Bier machen. Damit er nicht ganz alleine trinken muss, gibt es mehrere geplante Online-Flüge nach EDDH.
Best (P)Hub before North Pole!
Saturday, 26 DECEMBER 2009,
Santa Claus and
his brave reindeer have finished their delivery of precious goods to
countless
homes. It is now time to head for the North Pole, but hey,
Hamburg Fuhlsbuttel Airport
(EDDH) is on
their way and after all the hard work they take the opportunity to make
a stop
there and visit the “Best Hub before the North Pole”!
They really have deserved a
pint of Lager
in the “Best Pub before the North Pole”!
We are going to have three
groups of pilots
flying to EDDH on that day.
Since we wanted to include as
many pilots
as possible, we have categorized the routes into short haul routes,
medium
range routes and long haul routes. This way you, as a pilot, can take
part in
any of the categories that suites you most!
After voting within VATSIM
Germany’s
forum, the following points of departure were determined:
SHORT: London-Heathrow | EGLL |
ETD 18:30Z
| EET 1:20h
MEDIUM: Athens | LGAV | ETD
16:15Z | EET
3:10h
LONG: Boston Logan | KBOS | ETD
13:00Z |
EET 6:40h
The ETD (Estimated Time of
Departure) at
each ADEP was set in accordance with the fact that the ATCOs at Hamburg
EDDH
will be online from 1900Z onwards.
Naturally, you are allowed to
modify your
ETD if you think that your EET (Estimated Enroute Time = Flight Time)
will be
significantly different.
As we wish to make it as easy
as possible
for you to take part, the following information is made available for
your
flights:
