Every November, cockpit simulators around the world come together to raise funds for local charities.
This year Worldflight celebrates 10 years with 7 days non-stop flying around the world between
November 1st - 7th, 2010 (October 31st - November 6th UTC) The concept of a virtual, round the world flight for charity was started by a team in the United Kingdom and has spawned an annual event with participants from all over the globe. Each team selects their own needy charity, raising funds through donations and corporate sponsorship.
The flight will be conducted online on the VATSIM network, providing live Air Traffic Control through most of the countries that we visit. A 45-60 minute turn around is allowed at each stop and during that time the incoming crew will be fully briefed as to weather conditions along their route as well as other operational requirements.
In total, 45 legs will be flown.
