Event Details

As last year, we present one of the biggest events of the division: Madrid Overload. LEMD is one of the busiest airports in IVAO and in Europe, as it is the main gateway from all American countries, as well as the primary airport of Spain. During this event we will try to open all active and inactive positions at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport to replicate its real-life peak-hour operations as closely as possible. Do you want to know what real pilots and controllers communicate, on which frequencies, and using what phraseology when flying to Madrid? Take the opportunity and put yourself in the shoes of real pilots!
