Now that you're familiar with the concept, it's time for the Marseille FIR's main event. After the VID, the callsign and many others, it's time for the squawk! For the first time in history, the transponder will be used not only to be detected by the ATC's radar...
On Saturday April 20, between 18:00 UTC and 22:00 UTC, we invite you to take part in a new, Made in Marseille FIR, lottery in the Montpellier TMA.
Pilots, you have to depart from any airport of your choice, in France or abroad, to Montpellier (LFMT), as your initial destination.
Depending on your squawk code, your plans may change. Before your departure, we encourage to prepare Montpellier approach charts, but also the charts of the neighboring airports!
For this event, we encourage to use a category C maximum and medium aircraft (such as B737, A320, etc).
Please remember:
French IFR aeronautical charts: SIA website (AIP > eAIP France > Currently effective eAIP > AD2)
Marseille FIR airfields: IVAO FR [FSX/P3D/XP/MSFS]
This event will be awarded one point for the Pilot Events award for every pilot participating in the event and flying inbound LFMT (Flightplan destination) during the event's timeframe.
