What is MEBAR?

[mutley 4,487]

MEBAR stands for Mutley's Easter Bunny Air Rally.

It is an annual event to test a pilots navigational skills against a test flight reference time.

MEBAR consists of 5 Legs around the UK taking in England, Scotland, Isle of Man, Eire and Wales, starting and ending at at Shoreham Airport. There's a Test Flight to be completed prior to registration, to establish your aircraft type and cruising speed.

MEBAR is a fun event, we'll be keeping it simple by asking you to select either a single or twin prop aircraft. The MEBAR will provide an event for flight simulation pilots of all skill levels, from the novice to the more experienced pilots, to test their flight and navigation skills.

The flights involve either and / or a combination of VOR, NDB and "dead reckoning" navigating under day Visual Flight Rule (VFR) and / or Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) conditions. Variable departure times and weather conditions will also exist for each flight.

Further details of the test flight, rally route, rules, PIREPs, etc., will be found by clicking on the navigation tabs at the top of the MEBAR 2012 website pages.

We are delighted to announce that our sponsors for this year's event is SimStop.com powered by Flight1 who have generously donated 10 of their published flight sim titles for a prize draw.
