VAFS V5 Release - Latest

VAFS V5 was NOT released overnight.
It seems that there is a problem with one particular model of aircraft, and because of this the roll-out has been delayed. The people at VAFS feel that this aircraft is so heavily used, by a large number of VA's, that the delay is warranted to avoid disadvantaging the affected pilots and airlines.

At the moment the delay is expected to be about a week. However, because the exact cause of the problem or the amount of work needed to resolve it is not known yet, this may change.

Apologies to anyone who feels that they were misled by the earlier post on this subject, but we were relying on information provided by the author and admins at VAFS. They only made the decision to delay the roll-out on 31st December.

The New Vafs 5

To All Active Users of VAFS

The long awaited roll-out of VAFS V5 will take place over the night of 31st December/1st January. However, it should be remembered that this is United States west coast times so allowances should be made for the time differences between there and where you live.

During the migration to the new system we will be unable to make any flights using VAFS, as the servers will be unavailable for the duration of the move, and possibly for a period afterwards while verification of a satisfactory transition is carried out.

Mind you, as we all live east of where the servers are it will be into New Year's day before we are affected. Based on past comments from members I suspect that several will be either still partying or too hung over to think of flying anyway.

Four rescued from incoming tide at Grimsby

Four teenagers rescued from the incoming tide near Grimsby docks could have called for help on their mobile phones despite having no credit, a lifeboat rescue helmsman has said.

The two boys and two girls were spotted by a police helicopter trapped against a sea wall on Wednesday evening. They thought they could not use their phones without credit for emergency calls and so did not call for help. Gary Barlow, of Cleethorpes RNLI, said they were lucky. Mr Barlow said: "The two male and two female casualties were fortunate to have been spotted by the Humberside Police helicopter whilst out on a routine patrol - who alerted the coastguard. "The area in which these guys found themselves is very muddy in places, and a hazard in itself. "The incoming tide pinned them against the seawall at a point where access from the shore is tricky. "Help could have arrived even more promptly though, had they themselves alerted the emergency services once they realised their predicament. "Despite carrying mobile phones they wrongly believed they could not make an emergency call without credit." In any emergency, a 999 call can be made for free from any mobile.

Air France Rio crash: Jet plunged in minutes

The Air France jet which crashed into the Atlantic en route from Rio in 2009 stalled and fell in three and a half minutes, French investigators report.

The air accident investigations bureau (BEA) found the crew had struggled with contradictory speed readings just before the plane crashed.

The BEA statement did not look at the causes of the crash but one theory is that the jet's speed probes failed.

All 228 people on board were killed in the disaster.
