« on: November 17, 2021, 01:35:08 PM »
Like hauling freight?

Then your virtual pilot future can belong with Freight Dogs Virtual Air Cargo (FDvAC)!

Freight Dogs Virtual Air Cargo is VATSIM / IVAO performance based online free-flight virtual cargo airline that lets you fly any type cargo aircraft anywhere, anytime worldwide under the Freight Dogs pilot callsign.

At FDvAC, you are your own boss!

No set schedules required. As a FDvAC pilot, you make your own schedule(s) and fly your own route(s) whenever you want. There are schedules flights available as well.

Pireps to fill out - FDvAC's automatically updates your FDvAC virtual pay for you.

FDvAC will transition largest hours of VATSIM or IVAO pilot time toward a FDvAC rank.

The more you fly, the closer you get to the next FDvAC rank promotion or flight award(s).

Even though FDvAC has its headquarter in the United States at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, FDvAC will accept pilots from all over the globe.

Opportunities available for pilots who want to help FDvAC expand throughout the world.

FDvAC starting Dec 13, 2008 and in a few years afterwards, FDvAC had 1,000 virtual pilots. Things went well until 2018 when FDvAC discontinued due to unreliable software. FDvAC has reopened now using vaBase.

Recruiting drive in progress!

When you put the URL http://www.vatusa.net/feeds/events_xml.php into a browser, all you get is the tree.

Here is also what I get on our website.

Warning: DOMDocument::load(http://www.vatusa.net/feeds/events_xml.php) [domdocument.load]: failed to open stream: Connection timed out in /home/freightd/public_html/pages/public.php(21) : eval()'d code on line 4

The coding on our website hasn't changed. I think there is a problem with the feed.

Did the URL change for the VATUSA Events feed or is the link broken? All of the sudden our site is not picking up VATUSA events.

The Control Room Floor / "Descend Via"
« on: November 08, 2013, 11:57:34 AM »
This statement pretty much sums it up. It can be found in the 7110.65 4-7-1 Altitude Information -

A descend via clearance must not be used where procedures contain published “expect” altitude restrictions.

The Control Room Floor / "Descend Via"
« on: November 06, 2013, 06:09:30 PM »
The Vista2 would not be a candidate for the "descend via..." phraseology. The words "Expect to cross..." invalidate the use of the phraseology if I am reading the 7110 correctly.

The Control Room Floor / "Descend Via"
« on: November 06, 2013, 11:57:10 AM »
Correct me if I am wrong, but my take on the descend via according to the 7110 is that if there is the word "expect"  on the STAR either rnav and non-rnav, a controller cannot use the phrase "descend via". There are some rnav arrivals that have the word "expect with the crossing" and some do not. I believe DEN has a STAR that you can "descend via." Not sure there are many of those types around. According to real world FTW_CTR controllers DFW will be getting all new arrivals that will be rnav sometime in 2014. Currently, vZFW doesn't have any arrivals  that would mandate a controller to use the phrase "descend via..." on the arrivals. I am hearing "decsend via" a lot in Vatusa where technicaly, this is incorrect in most cases.

The Control Room Floor / Reality vs. Accomodating VATSIMisms
« on: September 06, 2013, 12:01:52 PM »
I asked this very question to the RW ZFW when we visited there. Late at night they will actually clear a DFW dep aircraft bound for O'Hare  direct ORD. If another ARTCC is offline on vatsim,  I will certainly look at that option of clearign and aircraft direct for a shortcut.
