Flight Briefing	Delta Virtual Airlines Online Event Briefing "Day of the Living Controllers" - DVA Long Haul Group Flight: HAM-ORD Cross the Pond Eastbound 2025 died unexpectedly this fall. An event that has brought fun to thousands of VATSIM members for decades, many will mourn its passing. Pilots everywhere have fond memories of Cross the Pond, from holding to taxiway congestion to overcrowded oceanic frequencies. Cross the Pond Eastbound 2025 is survived by future Cross the Pond events, potentially returning in 2026. This fall's edition of VATSIM's Cross the Pond event has been canceled. Instead, DVA will be having our own group flight from EDDH to KORD to take advantage of the LIVE events at each airport, where VATSIM controllers get together and work their airspace from the same physical location. EDDH will have coverage from 1200z-2000z and KORD will have coverage from 2300z-0300z+1. For this event, the 100% online time requirement will be exempted so pilots can go about their day without having to constantly monitor a VATSIM connection during this long-haul flight. Your flight must only qualify as an online flight using VATSIM under DVA's normal online flight time requirements. However, as an act of courtesy to your fellow pilots and controllers, we ask that everyone be connected to VATSIM no later than 1 hour before arrival at Chicago and remain connected until after landing. This will help avoid undue traffic conflicts from pilots connecting on top of each other. We also ask that everyone remain connected for the first 30 minutes of the flight. Aside from that, you may come and go as you please and chat with other pilots via DVA Discord or ACARS. If you have issues receiving event credit, please email events@deltava.org and we will get it sorted out for you. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Route 1: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hamburg Germany (EDDH/HAM) -> Chicago-O'Hare IL (KORD/ORD) Flight leg: DL9600 Leg 1 Distance: 3700nm Estimated Time Enroute: 09:30 Planned Altitude: Westbound RVSM --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Event Credit Policy --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To receive event credit on your PIREP, the flight must meet the following minimum requirements: -The flight must be flown online using VATSIM for 100% of the flight.
