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!
Cheers,
Peter

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
John

FSweekend
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 <http://fsweekend.com/exhibitors.php> .
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. The
FSWeekend concept gives you the maximum interaction between exhibitors and
visitors. That together with a friendly atmosphere and over 400 booths makes
the FSWeekend an extraordinary experience that you absolutely should not
