[23DEC16 23:59-04:00z] ZMP Presents - FNO: Last Minute Shopping

[Shane VanHoven]

ZMP's Annual Last Minute Shopping event featuring MSP and FCM. 2359z-0400z

ZMP knows you waited until the last minute. Don't worry, we won't tell!

Lucky for you, the world famous Mall of America is right across the street from Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport!

ZMP will be providing full ATC service to KMSP as well as to Flying Cloud Airport (KFCM) in Eden Prairie, MN, home of the Eden Prairie shopping center.

More than enough time for you to fly in, hit the malls, and fly out...before anyone else knows how long you waited!

Thank you! Getting re-adjusted to Photoshop slowly but surely.

ATTN: Virtual Pilots! Our Event Briefing Guide is available.

This document serves as a great primer for your flights into/out of KMSP. Minneapolis at its busiest can be a unique experience both in real life and on the VATSIM network. Thus, a working understanding of our procedures will help to make your evening with us a far more realistic and enjoyable experience. Please take a moment to review this brief prior to flying with us; our controlling staff thanks you in advance for it!

Also, we strongly encourage feedback and discussion about the material in the briefing. Please post questions, comments, or concerns below! The better prepared we can make pilots operating at MSP, the happier we are!

All of us here at vZMP would like to congratulate TFDi Design on the release of their 717-200. This high fidelity simulation is nothing like the Boeings and Airbuses we are used to!

Due to to the high traffic levels we are expecting for FNO tomorrow, vZMP requests that all pilots planning to fly the 717 into the event tomorrow take it for a couple of flights beforehand and become familiar with the navigation and autoflight systems. Specifically how to use VNAV Descent flying vectors for an ILS approach and be prepared to take manual control of the aircraft if necessary to avoid deviations.

We look forward to welcoming all of our Last Minute Shoppers tomorrow night.
