2010 Holiday Exercise (RTWR-style)

[srgalahad]

Me and the my legal team went over the rules this morning, and we decided we didn't have enough eggnog yet as we surmised

...ya can't return to Monterrey if ye didn't depart from Monterrey.

Me Citation X departed a couple hours ago and should be in Seymores airspace shortly.
:salute:

I'd be thinking the legal team has been into something other than eggnog... the scientists you are to return to KMRY have been camping on a remote part of the Galapagos for the past ten months, living among seabirds, various species of land animals and reptiles, probably not with a lot of human contact and certainly without the 'amenities'.

So nice of you to send a Citation X to get them but I'm not sure how the next load of CEO's and CFO's are going to enjoy the essence.. even after fumigation. I'm quite sure the lab coats are going to enjoy tho'

Dropping a jumbo-jet onto a 7k ft strip of asphalt in the middle of the ocean isn't my idea of fun, so the rental citation X filled in nicely- especially since I'm leaving it in Mexico to bring a propliner back with me. Besides with the money I saved on fuel on the way out I can buy some good Mexican 'entertainment' for the long flight back to the states.

The smell will be other peeps problems.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. the RULES!!! (or why discussions should come before actions)

John tries to rationalize a bomber for the last leg...

and, after the fact the debate continues about what should have been "confirmed" before the start..

and

The flight out to Seymore has been completed, duenna crashed but here's a screenie of the flight analysis.

So one believed that there was a requirement to get to the Galapagos first and one saw the exercise beginning at SEGS... hmmmm...

It is a four part exercise: 1) the long, tedious trip out; 2) a potentially dangerous short "shuttle" flight; and 3) a long finishing run to a modern, full-service airport.
************************************************** ************************************************** **********

The Mission:
You are hired to fly a scientific research team, who want to be home for New Year's Eve, from Seymour in the Galapagos Islands (SEGS) (6 pax) to the Marine Biological Research Station at Isla Maria Madre (MM1H), pick up four more scientists and then fly to Tepic, MX (MMEP) (10 pax) and then return to the Aquarium at Monterrey, CA (MKRY) with unique specimens of marine life.

It is a four part exercise:

Part One... making sure that everyone has the same understanding of rules, routes and resolves possible confusion. I wrote the Rules and the Addendum with deliberate gaps and ambiguous parts to see how we'd respond - in the same way that RTWR rules may seem to be contradictory at first but become clearer with full reading , or by asking the right question(s).

So, the Committee rules:
(1) although interesting, challenging and good practice, anyone who flew from KMRY to SEGS did so unnecessarily and at the risk of a) crashing, and b) 'going off on a [2782nm] tangent'.

(2) Bombers, while carrying items which may euphemistically be termed "cargo" (how PC), are not, by design "transport" aircraft and, if we were scoring this event, John's B-50 leg from MMEP to KMRY would be a no-no. (My lawyers are bigger and meaner than yours!)

It always pays to ask for confirmations of things that are so open to interpretation.

noted, good job John.

<edit> " the long, tedious trip out " , OUT being a deliberately misleading term.

I feel another 'Bear' bite.
