BRIEFING DOCUMENTATION | |||||
Tour Briefing | This tour was organized by John Players & Sons and Imperial Tobacco Ltd. It made nine stops as it proceeded west round-the-world in 16 days. A special edition of the book, "The Concorde Story" was commissioned by John Player to mark this event. This tour begins in London-Heathrow and travels Westbound around the world, stopping in: New York, NY; Oakland, CA; Honolulu, HI; Guam; Hong Kong, China; Bali, Indonesia; Colombo, Sri Lanka; Bahrain; Cairo, Egypt; and back to London. This 10 leg tour was the first Round the World Tour for British Airways and covers a distance of 26,449 miles (42,318 km) and has a flight time of 15 hours and 15 minutes. Effective Jan 1st, 2024, although most of these are AFC flights, the tour is open to all aircraft types; however, please fly it in the Concorde for maximum enjoyment. If you do fly the Concorde, please remember to review NOTAM #35: Effective immediately: rules on supersonic Concorde flight. You will still NOT be permitted to fly Supersonic overland while flying Concorde, however, each flight will now be graded on its own merits rather than sticking to one hard and fast rule. • We will now take into consideration real-world Concorde activity, and you will be able to fly over designated populated areas that were allowed in Concorde in real-world operations. • Flying Supersonic overland will NOT be allowed under instruction from 3rd party ATC controllers (Vatsim, IVAO, etc) As the Pilot in command, you have the power to reject any such requests and to stay within the AFVA rules. • You can fly supersonic over unpopulated Islands but please do your research first and if in doubt message a member of staff for confirmation before making your flight. • Flights will not be rejected if you accidentally cross land at low supersonic speeds but may be held for clarification as to why this happened. |
