[SO EVENT] Tuscon Low Level Training Day

Event Details

Get ready to fly fast and low in the Tucson Low Level Training Day, a Special Operations event hosted by the IVAO United States Division. This exciting event invites all pilots to experience the adrenaline-pumping challenge of flying VR263, one of the many military VFR training routes used across the United States. VR263 is a designated low-level VFR Military Training Route, built specifically for tactical navigation at high speeds and low altitudes—typically below 10,000 feet MSL. These routes are commonly used by military aviators to hone their terrain-following and navigation skills while remaining under radar coverage. Flying this route on IVAO gives you a taste of what real-world military pilots train for every day, but with the added immersion of live ATC, active airspace coordination, and a community of like-minded pilots. Whether you're navigating VR263 in a F/A-18 or C-130, or anything in between, the route offers an immersive and scenic experience through Arizona’s stunning desert landscape, with realistic procedures and full ATC services guiding you from entry to exit. The total transit time will be approximately one hour, making it a perfect sortie for both seasoned SO pilots and those new to military aviation. Expect a mix of precision flying, military ATC, and community interaction, all while enjoying a carefully planned and controlled environment that reflects the realism and excitement of modern air operations. So dust off your low-level navigation skills, and join us for an unforgettable flight down VR263 during the Tucson Low Level Training Day. The desert awaits!
