Olympic AFPEx test day
September 24th has been set as test day for the AFPEx flight planning system for next year's Olympics. It will be necessary to file a flightplan to fly into, out of or across the huge restricted zone in the SE of England (plus the Weymouth area where the marine sports take place), and the success or failure of this will depend on the AFPEx system being able to cope. So, on September 24th please file a flightplan on AFPEx so that as many as possible are lodged to give the system the best possible test, only if a large number of people take part will it highlight any problems so that changes can be made to ensure the system works next year when it has to. THIS IS A TEST, SO PLEASE FILE REGARDLESS OF WEATHER, IT IS NOT EXPECTED THAT YOU WILL ACTUALLY FLY.

A REAL Test?
Are they actually going to get AFPeX to somehow give "approval" messages on this "Test" day? I cannot wait to put in a couple of flight plans to see a) are they actually read and b) will they be "approved" just as if I were to put them in during the Olympic period! I intend to borrow a PA28R with mode "S" and put in a flight plan to fly everywhere in and out of the Olympic zone with a totally correct flight plan. Any money you like, it will not be allowed!
