/images/notams/notams21/dc3a0930.jpgThe DCA World Rally begins on Saturday October 16, 2021. It is opento all flight sim enthusiasts. DC3 Airways membership is NOT arequirement. Unfortunately, because MSFS 2020 does not yet have a flyable DC3 orC-47 aircraft in its hangar, sim pilots will not be able to use thatplatform. However, flight descriptions and start up files are includedfor the other major sims including P3D, X-Plane and FSX. The schedule consists of ten flights from around the world, to beflown in a DC3/C-47. The rally will be spread over thirty days givingpilots a three day time frame in which to complete each flight andfile their pirep. More details on when each flight may be flown aregiven in the World Rally Rules section, which can be found athttps://dc3airways.net/wr.The vast majority of navigation is via NDB and VOR navaids, but thereis also a considerable amount of navigation by dead reckoning. Thegoal is to have fun flying a DC3/C-47. But to add more challenge, each flight has a calculated flight timethat can be reached using the correct average climb, cruise, descentand approach speed. Some flights are more challenging by the inclusionof specific weather settings. Adverse winds and weather are an ever present danger of this formof navigation, but help is at hand thanks to the venerable E6-Bcalculator. Professional pilots are well aware of this wonderful tooland how best to use it. If you don't already possess an E6-B, afreeware electronic version is available on the internet and DCA isproviding a link to this valuable utility. If you are serious aboutnavigation, take time to learn how to use this tool and yournavigational accuracy will be extremely rewarding. All flight descriptions are prepared in both MS Word and PDFformat. Useful jpg images will also be provided to assist pilots withtheir pre-flight planning. Pilots may of course use the flightdescriptions as a guide to create your own flight plan, if desired. Ifyou do not have MS Word, Libre Office Open Source software is anexcellent free substitute. https://www.libreoffice.org The DCA web site Welcome Page presents self-explanatory buttonswhich will link you to the various pages of the World Rally 2021 website. The first area you are advised to visit is the Rules page. Ifyou are willing to abide by the few simple rules and wish to join usfor the World Rally your next action is to register and enjoy! If after the rally you feel that you have enjoyed yourself, learned something new, or refreshed a few long forgotten skills, our aim will have amply been achieved. And, if you like the experience, please feel free to sign on as a pilot for DC3 Airways atdc3airways.net.
