South of the Pyrenees (I think) the semicircular rule rotates 90 degrees.  Southbound flights even, northbound, odd. Something to do with the prevailing traffic directions over southern Europe being North-South (as opposed to north Atlantic and northern Europe traffic as far east as Berlin being predominantly east-west).  Bones will no doubt add chapter and verse!

This is where I’m going to learn something J.

 

My understanding has always been that westbound flights are even FLs and eastbound were odd. I’m currently flying between Ibiza and Tirana and had filed FL330 as I’m heading East. However I have been advised by Barcelona control that I need to be on an even Flight Level. What have I missed or have I just over simplified the whole thing???

 

Cheers

On November 3rd and 4th, 2012, there's another huge Flight Simulator event in the Netherlands. No, not just an event, it's the largest International Flight Simulator event in the world. As always, this Flight Simulator weekend is held in the Aviodrome, situated at Lelystad Airport, the Netherlands.
 
Held in the famous Dutch Aviation Museum, this Fight Simulator event will have more than 20 commercial booths and 30 FS club booths. Over 400 commercial and non-commercial FS personnel will offer tons of FS information to all types of Flight Simmers.  At this biggest FS event you'll find cockpit builders, Virtual Airlines representatives, Flight Clubs such as the famous HCC, publishers/developers including Aerosoft, Saitek, Just Flight, SimWare, FlightGear, VFR Poland and Ramzzess Design Studio, Military Squadrons. Is this all?  No, there's so much more but it's impossible to highlight them all in this press release.
Visit the FSWeekend 2012 dedicated website for a complete overview of all exhibitors.
 
Furthermore, the organization gives all the cockpit builders the opportunity to show their home built cockpits or individual cockpit instruments. This FS weekend is the perfect place to meet other cockpit builders from the Netherlands and other countries to exchange experiences.

Then this is the right moment to go. The FSWeekend is a unique concept that is made by Flight Simmers for Flight Simmers! And that's not all.

That together with a friendly atmosphere and over 400 booths makes the FSWeekend an extraordinary experience that you absolutely should not miss!
