Concorde

Concorde, the world’s first (and so far, only) supersonic airliner, was retired two decades ago in real life. However, in the skies of VATSIM, she lives on in the hands of some nostalgic pilots. Keflavik (BIKF) in particular was an occasional charter destination for Concorde in real life, and indeed, one may occasionally still find virtual pilots flying virtual Concordes into BIKF on VATSIM.

For the most part, controlling Concorde is not unlike controlling any other civilian IFR aircraft. However, because of Concorde’s unique design and high-altitude, high-speed regime of flight, some unique considerations should be taken into account.
