Flight Operations and Regulations
FLIGHT
REQUEST (FREQ) (for scheduled and charter flights)
Pilots are to submit a frep
each week via Pegasus.
This can be from the automated Flight Assignment Sytem
(FASS), Scheduled Timetable (FREQ) or a Charter Request. Usually,
this consists of one flight (one cycle, meaning one sector
only) selected from the current Eurostar Aviation Timetable.
More
information on your Flight requests can be extracted from
the latest timetable. Reviewing the timetable reveals, for
example, scheduled time of departure and arrival, aircraft
to be used, flight duration, possible en-route stops, etc.
REQUIREMENTS
As
regards to pilot check-in times (to the aircraft), the following
table lists the required time for each flight type. This time
period will enable the pilot to plan the flight and complete
some checklists before taxiing and departure.
Flight
Type Check-In Time
Domestic flights 15 minutes *
International flights 20 minutes *
*
All flights operating online with VATSIM (ATC) shall add a
minimum of 10 minutes to the above Check in time.

your Area Manager, regardless of the area of departure. Charter
Flight numbers use EV9XXX.
FLIGHT
REPORTING
_After
the completion of any flight, a standard-format Flight Report
(FREP) is essential for statistical records, future reference
or performance evaluation. A report form is available here,
ESA Flight Report It is therefore
important for all pilots to compile a FREP after any flight.
Eurostar FREP's have been designed to be simple yet satisfactory
for analysis. Please take your time to study the following
Eurostar FREP formality.
Use
of TIME ACCELERATION
The
usage of the time acceleration utility in FS is permitted
on flights exceeding 60 minutes, as long as it is not engaged
within 20 minutes of departure or arrival. Please note that
for the health, comfort and safety of pilots, Eurostar Aviation
strictly prohibits smoking on all its flights.
