Finland Coast Guard flightplan help

Joseph29 · Post by **Joseph29** » 06 Apr 2008, 20:13

I currently have flightplans installed for the Finnish Coast Guard Do228 (based at EFTU) and these flightplans has the plane going from airport to airport. How hard is it to make this plane do touch and goes? And also to have to plane go out for a simulated patrol and come back to the airport?

If it's to hard for me to do would anyone happen to have flightplans for the Finnish Coast Guard that has the plane doing what I described?

Joseph, unless I am mistaken the only way for the aircraft to do touch and go's is to have a VFR flightplan, then every TNG will be a true TNG.

Make sure that the aircraft will get off the ground before the end of the runway.

The other patrol mission you will need to create a very small invisible runway where you would like it to patrol, like some of our MAIW waypoints, then you need to set your aircraft to fly TNGs at that waypoint airfield. The difference this time is that the flight must be IFR or the plane will try to land on the water. The IFR means that it will make an appraoch and overshoot.

Is this helpful?

Yes it does help a little bit. But I don't know how to put touch and goes into the flightplan. Do I just put TNG in instead of a airport code? And I never made a invisible runway before so I would not even know where to begin. Do I use AFCAD for that?

AC#1001,CG01,30%,24Hr,VFR,1/1300,TNG@1/1500,12,R,001,EFHK

Here is a sample of a flightplan starting from Helsinki Finland showing a T&G. Also this is not a complete flight plan this is just showing 1 leg

Here is a weekly TNG FP template. AC will do two TNG a day at the base required (the base ICAO goes in the section marked XXXX). Just remove the TNG tabs if you want non TNG flightplans..
Need to change the heights of the TNG if you have them going off the local base..

If u want any more templates just PM me and I can send you some....

Thanks guys. I will try to make the touch and goes out. I don't think I will be able to do the waypoints, sounds a bit complicated for my skills.
