Flight Simulator Airspace Information

Indonesian Virtual Airlines or Maskapai Virtual Indonesia established in the middle of the year 2010. The two brothers Achmad Ferdi Iskandar and Nanda Arfianda began the project in early September of 2009 and finally realized in 2010. This virtual airlines dedicated to all Indonesian virtual pilot only in IVAO. Virtual Airlines it self named Maskapai Virtual Indonesia or MVI, where there is sub-airlines which is operated in real world aviation such as Garuda Indonesia VA, Air Asia VA, Batavia VA, Sriwijaya VA, Mandala VA, Lion Air VA and will be added a few airlines from Indonesia soon.

The projection of MVI is to gather all  simmers in Indonesia and make this community become one bigest community that ever existed in Indonesia. Though the age is may still infant, MVI shows significant growth with the increasing numbers of virtual pilots who joined this community day by day…

Well, this is our young brother, Maskapai Virtual Indonesia or MVI with their liveries. With callsign “Maskapai” and their ICAO code is MID, StevenAirspace have made two type of liveries. One with clean simple white colour with “Maskapai Virtual Indonesia” writing on fuselage and with grey colour on the below fuselage, and the other is with full dark grey colour on the whole fuselage with a big logo of MVI crossing the fuselage. The fleet registrations begin with 7X. 7X-MID, 7X-MIE are for the classics, and 7X-MIG, 7X-MIH are for the heavies Boeing 747. Available for Wilco Boeing 737-400 and PMDG Boeing 747-400 with Pratt and Whitney’s engine.

METAR or MÉTéorologique Aviation Régulière or Aviation Rutin Weather Report is format for weather reporting. METAR is used by the pilots to know the weather conditions, winds conditions at an aerodrome where they will conduct the flights. Raw METAR is a very known format in aviation for weather data transmision. It’s also an ICAO standard.

METAR reports typically come from airports or permanent weather observation stations. Usually METAR is generated once an hour if there is no significant weather changes.

How to read it?

I’m gonna use several METAR report for example.

WSSS 090730Z 21009KT 170V260 9000 FEW020TCU BKN300 32/25 Q1008 NOSIG

Okay, WSSS, Changi airport – Singapore.

090730Z = METAR was made at 09 (date), 0730Z (time)

21009KT = Wind from 210 degree at 09 knots (wind’s speed)

170V260 = indicates the wind direction is varying from 170° through 210°  to 260°

9000 = indicates the visibility is 9000 meters

FEW020TCU = Few clouds at 2000 feet, TCU is Towering Cumulus (Cumulus cloud that have potential to become into a cumulonimbus within a short time period)

BKN300 = indicates broken cloud at 30,000 feet

32/25 = temperature is 32 degree and dewpoint is 25 degree

Q1008 = QNH or altimeter setting is 1008

NOSIG = No significant changes

Next is

LBBG 041600Z 12003MPS 310V290 1400 R04/P1500N R22/P1500U +SN BKN022 OVC050 M04/M07 Q1020 NOSIG 9949//91

The rest is same as above, Let’s discuss the bold letters only.

12003 = wind from 120 degree with speed at 03 Meter per Second

R04/P1500N = Runway Visual Range (RVR) at Runway 04 is 1500 meters with no significant changes

R22/P1500U = Runway Visual Range (RVR) at Runway 22 is 1500 meters and rising

+SN = Snow falling at heavy intensity

OVC050 = Overcast at 5000 feet

M04/M07 = Temperature is -04°C and dewpoint is -07°C

9949//91 =

• indicates either a specific runway (eg. “25″=Rwy 25 or “25R”; “75″=Rwy 25L – adding 50 will indicate Left Runway) or all the airport’s runways (”99″)
• “4″ means the runway is coated with dry snow
• “9″ means 51 to 100% of the runway are covered
• // means the thickness of the coating was either not measurable or not affecting usage of the runway
• “91″ means the braking index is bad, in other words the tires have bad grip on the runway.

Note: For North America use Altimeter or code “A” in their altimeter setting (eg. “A3006″)

Other METAR Codes:

• CB = Cumulonimbus cloud
• TSRA = Thunderstorm, Rain at the area
• BECMG = Becoming
• CAVOK = Ceiling And Visibility OK

Regard’s
