Dubai International Airport (OMDB)

Pilots can expect top notch air traffic control services simulating accurate VFR procedures as published in the real world and in reference to published VFR charts featuring visual reporting points, whereby pilots are expected to navigate by looking out the window as they navigate through the beautiful backdrop that is the Dubai city skyline.


Whether you're a pilot looking for a change from the mundanity of airline operations in IFR or an aviator looking to pick up new skills by practicing VFR, this is the event you want. Put your flight simulator scenery, your mark one eyeball and your flight tracker to the ultimate test whether you're flying into the control zone, out of the control zone, transiting or even staying in the traffic pattern for some touch and go practices.


As mentioned, Dubai has standardised VFR procedures that pilots are expected to orient themselves with. Links to published VFR charts that ensure a seamless experience are provided below. We also recommend using up to date scenery with photorealistic terrain or data streaming (if you're on Microsoft Flight Simulator, you're basically sorted!) as well as a tracker like Volanta or Simtoolkit Pro in satelite terrain view to maximize your situational awareness. We also recommend an aircraft type that is suitable for such an event. (light General Aviation Single/Twin engine aircraft)


Get your in game screenshot cameras out as well; the landmarks and skies of Dubai will not disappoint you!
