Who? What? HOW??
Simple, the Poker Run is a VFR event between 5 airports in a small area. Pilots are encouraged to bring their favorite General Aviation (GA) prop aircraft and try their hand at poker! You need not have any experience with poker, but you should know the basics of flying VFR. Know how to:
- Fly your plane
- Fly a traffic pattern (and know what the traffic pattern at an airport is)
- Read the rules
- Have fun!
To participate, you should visit the pilot sign-up page as soon as possible and request your starting airport providing you pilot name, CID and if possible you intended callsign and aircraft type.
At your starting airport you will call up the SEA_DLR_CTR (The event's card dealer) and ask for a card. Then you call the tower or unicom for the airport you are at and get on your way with your VFR flight. FLIGHT FOLLOWING IS MANDETORY for this event, so be sure to check in with the tower or APP/CTR controller for your airport. After landing at each airport, you will park and ask to switch to the dealer frequency to request your next card. After you receive the card, switch back and continue to the next airport. Simple eh?
If conditions at any airports are IFR, you will be required to file IFR
