Idea

[angle]

Hi,

i just thought of a good idea maybe to bring in to phpvms at some time..

there are a few pilots out there who fly with fspassanger and they can end up with emergency and stuff like that..

i think that if this happens there should be somethink in the sytem that allows you to land at a closer airport as long as you declare a mayday .

and still be able to file the flight as it will say in the pireps that you declared a mayday??

and thought on this i think it would be great and it saves pilots having to land and start the flight again ??

Hi there Angle,

Sorry for bumping an old topic again (please don't kick me! ).

Although my answer could probably help any future questions similar.

I fly FSPassengers all the time, and this indeed happened to me whilst flying with a virtual airline (way back when I was just a pilot) in which after taking off from Dublin on a Flight to Amsterdam it was just whilst going over Liverpool I got a bird strike on one of my engines and so the best thing to do is call a mayday and make an emergency landing. By the time I had descended the nearest airport to land at was Gatwick.

FSPassengers users have to export their PIREPS directly from Flightsim to the VA website. When I did this instead of showing a flight from Dublin to Amsterdam it showed Dublin to Gatwick.

I got hours on the flight for my profile and also pilot pay, in the system on the PIREP it also showed that I had called a mayday.

(I also got an award from the CEO for outstanding bravery!)

So there you have it really, FSPassengers pilots should never file a PIREP manually through the VA website since it's all recorded through Flightsim.

So really there isn't a need to have an idea like that for Phpvms!

Kind Regards, Matthew
