Nevada Flight Info Pub (FLIP) by the 476 vFG

to my mind at least they are somewhat redundant from the start. If you're relying on coordinates and looking at a chart etc. then it's not a visual procedure.

I think the underlying situation here is that in Germany you simply cannot fly a VFR arrival or departure any way you want like you can do it in the States, due to severe noise restrictions at almost every airfield/airport/airbase over here. In fact, VFR traffic patterns and arrival/departure routes are very strictly defined by charts for General Aviation and Military Aviation, and every now and then pilots here get into trouble because residents complain claiming they did not adhere to the published VFR procedures. That's probably why the German Air Force has these Visual Operation Charts for every (military) aerodrome in Germany, whereas the USAF doesn't have them.

However, quite a few pilots over here also raise your point that constantly looking at a chart in fear of violating any procedure actually conflicts with the VFR see and avoid thing and therefore hampers flight safety in general.

Indeed, and that's why charts for such procedures are not provided in the FLIPs. It's not that the procedures don't exist, they do, they just aren't charted procedures. You have to remember the procedures and any restrictions, using your memory.

Nice work Eddie, Stay Safe and have a Bottle of Water on me!

The visual depictions of VFR procedures are just there to help describe the procedure to pilots unfamiliar with it, and are part of the Nellis IFG, not any FLIP.

Im not sure if this is a copy of an actual Redflag Inflight Guide or a well made knockoff but it has the additional information Eddie refers to such as VFR departures and Arrivals.

(I'm trying to get my hands on a genuine document...Nice to have friends who still fly outta Nellis)

That is the real IFG for 2014.

Charts are no longer available, Dojo with the help of Tex, Noodle and others within the 476th are creating new charts with more accurate info from DCS World and will eventually be made available.

Thank-you, sir. That is much appreciated.

Nevada FLIP version 1.1 is now available with corrections specific to DCS Nevada. Link in post one is now live again.

Thanks to Dojo for making the necessary corrections before I put the package together!

Pubs updated with all airfields that were included in the Nevada expansion. Same link as post 33 and post 1

thx for the update:book::thumbup:

Thank you, appreciate your work!
