PILOTS

Monaco Grand Prix is one of the most famous and glamourous race of the year. A lot of spectators, celebrities are expected in Monaco. The day before the Grand Prix, you will be responsible for bringing all the people into the Principality of Monaco.

Different missions are possible:

With a commercial aircraft or a jet aircraft: During this weekend, lots of commercial aircrafts will land at Nice Côte d'Azur (LFMN). Bring all the spectators to Nice from the terrain of your choice;
With a helicopter: A helicopter shuttle service will be offered to celebrities between Nice Côte d'Azur (LFMN) and Monaco heliport (LNMC). In the way of your choice, you will perform a flight with a helicopter between these both airports.

Please remember:

Be ready and have your charts;
You will be asked to follow vectoring and potentially enter a holding;
Pay attention not to obstruct ongoing communication, particularly joining a new frequency;
Do not hesitate to take more fuel than expected. Some delays could occur;
Enjoy :)

This IVAO event will be an international event (you could obtain one point for the HQE award, see conditions below). A lot of pilots will land in Nice TMA. That is why we encourage to expect extra fuel, more than usual. Moreover, be patient! :)
