FNO: Navy Pier Night Out

TPC Flight Operations Team and VATUSA cordially invite you to participate in the Friday Night Operations group flight.

After a long and cold winter, spring has finally come to the Windy City. What better sight to enjoy downtown than one of the most visited attractions in the Midwest? Opened in 1916, the pier that would be one day known as Navy Pier was used as a dock for passenger ships, as well as for recreation, pageants, and events. Nestled among the countless lights of downtown Chicago, today Navy Pier is the crown jewel of one of the most iconic skylines in the world.

So as you depart eastbound over the lake, or you're coming on final approach westbound, it's ok to take your eyes off your instruments for a second to enjoy the view. Go on, we won't tell. This will be a longer flight, so bring some snacks…

Suggested Routing (GA ): N/A

Event Details: Friday Night Ops is a weekly event run by VATUSA; normally visiting places all around the United States. This time around, Friday Night Ops are coming to the land down under within the famous 'J-Curve'. Fly anywhere between Sydney, Adelaide and Brisbane from 2300z on the 4th to 0300z on the 5th (1000-1400 ADST).

Flight Planning: In Australia, flight plans are filed in the ICAO format. SIDs & STARs are not included in the filed flight plan. This will be provided by ATC on contact with clearance delivery (for departures) and with the Centre controller prior to top of descent.

Pre-Departure Clearances (PDCs) are used in Australia. Pilots are required to readback PDCs to the delivery controller. However, when reading back the PDC you do not need to read back everything. Just the SQUAWK, DEPARTURE PROCEDURE, RUNWAY and BAY.

[PILOT] "Sydny Delivery, Qantas 436 with PDC readback."

[SY_DEL] "Qantas 436 g'day Sydney Delivery, go ahead with PDC readback"

[PILOT] "Qantas 436 is cleared to Brisbane, OLSEM1 departure, runway 16R, squawk 4457; bay D3"

[SY_DEL] "Qantas 436" or "Qantas 436 contact ground 121.7 for push" If you do not receive a PDC, you can request airways clearance on VHF with the Delivery controller. However, you are required to readback the entire clearance by voice.

[PILOT] "Brisbane Delivery, Qantas 535"

[BN_DEL] "Qantas 535 g'day Brisbane Delivery, go ahead"

[PILOT] "Qantas 535 request clearance"

[BN_DEL] "Qantas 535, cleared to Sydney via SANEG flight planned route. SANEG 1 departure runway 01R. Climb via SID 6000(ft). Squawk 4457 departures 133.45"

[PILOT] "Cleared to Sydney via SANEG flight planned route. SANEG 1 departure runway 01R. Climb via SID 6000(ft). Squawk 4457 departures 133.45, bay 18 Qantas 535."

[BN_DEL] "Qantas 535, when ready for push contact ground 121.7"

Airliners plan to depart the familiar sights of Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (KCLE) fade behind you as you taxi onto the runway, the roar of your airliner's engines filling the air.

With a final wave to the ground crew, you lift off into the clear blue sky, leaving behind the bustling city and its industrial heart. The sprawling suburbs of Cleveland shrink below, replaced by the rolling hills and farmlands of Ohio. The air is crisp and cool, with the scent of pine and earth filling the cockpit.

As you climb to cruising altitude, the landscape below transforms into a patchwork of forests, lakes, and rivers, dotted with the occasional small town or city. The flight path takes you southeast, passing over the Appalachian Mountains, their peaks shrouded in mist.

Below, the landscape becomes increasingly mountainous, with the forests giving way to rugged peaks and valleys. GA and slower aircraft plan your flight from Jacksonville International Airport (KJAX) to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL), the excitement builds as you taxi down the runway.

The lush landscapes of Florida give way to the sprawling urban environment of Jacksonville, with the St. Johns River winding its way through the city. The air is warm and fragrant, filled with the scent of the nearby ocean. Once airborne, you climb to cruising altitude, and the view transforms into a patchwork of green fields and forests.

The flight path takes you northwest, offering glimpses of the southeastern United States' diverse terrain. You may spot the occasional lake or river, reflecting the sunlight as you soar above.

As you approach Atlanta, the skyline begins to emerge on the horizon, characterized by its iconic skyscrapers and the bustling activity of one of the busiest airports in the world.

The descent into KATL is smooth, with the vibrant cityscape sprawling below you. The aroma of southern cuisine and the energy of the city fill the air as you prepare to touch down, ready to explore the rich culture and history of Atlanta.

See you in the virtual skies!

Airliners will taxi out from Memphis International Airport, the familiar sights of the city come into view: the Mississippi River snaking through the landscape, the iconic Peabody Hotel, and the bustling downtown area.

With a final wave to the ground crew, you push the throttle forward and lift off into the clear blue sky. The flight path takes you southwest, tracing a path over the rolling hills and farmlands of Arkansas.

Below, the patchwork fields of cotton and soybeans stretch out as far as the eye can see, interspersed with small towns and the occasional sparkling lake.

As you cross into Louisiana, the terrain becomes more flat, with vast swamps and bayous dotted with cypress trees. The air is thick with humidity, and the scent of pine and bayou mud fills the cockpit.

Soon, the skyscrapers of Houston begin to appear on the horizon, a beacon of urban life amidst the rural landscape. The approach to Bush Intercontinental Airport is a busy one, with airliners crisscrossing the sky, but you expertly navigate the traffic and bring your aircraft down for a smooth landing.

As you taxi to the gate, the city of Houston stretches out before you, a sprawling metropolis full of energy and excitement. GA and slower aircraft prepare for your flight from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (KDFW) to George Bush Intercontinental Airport (KIAH) in your general aviation aircraft, the excitement builds.

You taxi out from KDFW, where the sprawling terminal complex and busy runways are a testament to the airport's status as a major hub. With a final check of your instruments and a wave to the ground crew, you take off into the clear Texas sky.

The flight path takes you southeast, offering stunning views of the Texas landscape below. As you climb to cruising altitude, you’ll see the urban sprawl of the Dallas-Fort Worth area gradually give way to the more rural scenery of East Texas.

Below, the patchwork of fields and forests unfolds, with the occasional small town dotting the landscape. As you approach Houston, the terrain becomes more urbanized, and the impressive skyline of Houston comes into view.

See you in the virtual skies!
