- Cyber Air has reopened Sydney (YSSY) Hub
I am happy to announce that our Sydney Hub has been opened now, we are looking forward for pilots flying there.
Here a nice story of Mike Bell, the Sydney Hub Captain:
Let me support our announcement of Sydney Hub with a story which takes me
back to a previous VA.
I was Hub Captain for Sydney in that VA and it was Top Hub with more Pilots
and PIREPs than the USA and European Hubs yet it sat 1000’s of nautical
miles away and on the other side of the world from Head Office.
A newbie Pilot had joined my Hub and he simply emailed “I am new at this
and I can take-off and fly but I have never landed a plane. I have paused
the aircraft in the sky near Sydney … how do I land?”
We didn’t have any way to communicate other than email and I talked him
down into YSSY. In each email I asked him to do what I instructed and then
pause the flight again. When he eventually landed the plane he wrote in his
final email “I just made my first landing and got out and kissed the
tarmac.”
So it is with a passion and excitement that I lend my support for the
launch of the Cyber Air Sydney Hub which gives our VA a presence in the
Southern Hemisphere. I live in Auckland New Zealand which is a 3 hr flight across from Sydney Australia.
Oh yes Australia, nearly equal the size of USA and Europe and so many
places to fly. It has awesome scenery and textures for those who like
eye-candy. ATC is well developed. The Domestic airways are vibrant and of
course an International flight will take you across water because Australia
is an island.
Sydney Hub will offer flights ranging from short distance turbo prop
through to the long haul heavy routes and everything in between. You can
enjoy the A380 with a 3 hour hop across to New Zealand or fly ‘big
bird’ across the world. Each route doubles up as a cargo route if that’s what you do.
There is plenty of VA competition in this part of the world but Cyber VA
has always been such an awesome VA (and I have tried so many) so there is
no reason why we shouldn’t do well. I look forward to watching Sydney Hub
grow.

- Cyber Air Goes West
On Monday 23rd of March we will begin our new Monday Night Group Flight around the world. This time we will fly in westerly direction. Our first leg will take us from EDDM to EGLL where we will pick up our faithful friends from Britain who will join in. Our events manager Roland Groebl (who also initiated the idea) volunteered to be in charge of flight operations and will publish all relevant information in the forum. A big THANK YOU, ROLAND!
We're looking forward to this flight and to picking up lots of friends on the way. Join in any time you want. You will find details at the EDDM Section of our forum.

- DART/SAR/fleetsupport in new hands
- KDEN closed
- Cyber Air’s first affiliated company
Our friend Mike Bell (CYB617) has asked the management to accept his resignation from office as Director of DART/SAR and fleetsupport. He hopes to be back as an active pilot in a year’s time and will continue flying for Cyber. Everything else would have been very surprising to us since Mike has always been a tronghold in turbulent times and a friend in need for many Cyber pilots stranded after technical failures or hard landings. He never failed to remind us of those who were less fortunate than ourselves. Mike,
thank you very much for your enthusiasm, time and your work for Cyber Air and we look forward to seeing you again when the turbulences are over.
We’re glad to announce that Werner Gillespie (CYB2400), KORD’s Hub Captain has agreed to be our new Director of DART/SAR and fleetsupport. We’re very happy that DART/SAR and fleetsupport will continue to exist. Thank you, Werner. We look forward to seeing many Cyber pilots coming to help others.
In order to concentrate US activities the CEO has decided to close KDEN. The still active KDEN pilots will be transferred to KORD where their hours will, of course, be taken over from their old roster. Guys, Werner will let you know the procedures. We guess he will agree to you continuing to fly KDEN routes, since Cyber’s charter policies easily accepts that.
Cyber Air’s first affiliated company is on her way. FS-Magazin, the leading German FS-magazine, has approached us and asked for a cooperation. Cyber management has agreed to give it a shot and found FSM (“Magazine”), an airline operating a limited number of short and mid-range flights in Europe. Although “working” for FSM their pilots will be Cyber pilots flying 3 planes that are available as payware and freeware. Fred will add an FSM section to the forum and the Hub section so we can keep you updated as the idea develops. |

Cyber Air has got a new paintshop artist
++Press release - August 18th, 2008
New paintshop artist
Cyber Air is happy to announce that a new, very talented repainter
is part of our virtual airline.
Benjamin Gonzales (CYB2924) from EGLL Hub has already done some excellent repaints of Erick Cantu's Embraer 120 Brasilia (freeware) and also created
stunning textures for the Wilco/Feelthere Bombardier CRJ200.
Who saw the screnshots posted in our forum could see how much talent he has. Ben has some more aircraft on his list and we are sure we can expect
more spectacular liveries. So stay tuned.
As soon as his work rolls out of the paintshop we'll put it straight
to the hangar.
Thank you very much Ben, we are looking forward to seeing more of
your superb work.

Cyber Air is opening training facilities for helicopters
++Press release - January 28th, 2008
As some of you pilots may have heard, Cyber Air decided to create a new division "Helicopter Operations" in early January 2008. Preparations regarding the setup of a training base were conducted discreetly since then, and the winner location is now chosen.
Our CEO, Chris Schnaedelbach, as well as Rene Alder, the newly appointed Director of "Helicopter Operations" are very pleased to announce to you all the official opening of the new training facilities, located at the island of Raiatea, French Polynesia, in the Southern Pacific. Cyber Air is happy to offer our fixed-wing pilots the opportunity to learn the ropes of these wonderful rotary-wing aircraft, in a relaxed environment where the sun shines 360 days, with lots of fun and companionship.

Weekly Cyber Air Group Flight in the USA planned
++Bill Hughes is looking into starting a weekly group flight in the United States on the VATSIM Network and needs your input for ideas and if you'd participate? Please answer him in the "Online Networks" Section of our Forum. Bill is thinking of either planning to fly where VATSIM has there event scheduled to have ATC or we could start in one state capital and jump around the country flying into all the capitals using the length of flight criteria below. He would also like to set up inter plane communication using Roger Wilco if that work for everyone?
If this is something you'd like to try PLEASE post you ideas in the forum to help with planning and also so Bill can get an idea as to the amount of pilots interested.

New AI Traffic in FS9 and also FSX has been released
+++ Frank Eigenthaler has developed all new Cyber Air AI Traffic for FS9. He and me painted the complete fleet with the new paint scheme. I was able to convert the FS9 AI-Traffic, that it works in FSX also. In both simulators you will be able to watch our complete fleet. flying the Cyber Air schedules all over the world. Other AI traffic isn't affected by our traffic, both work together without any problems.
The new AI planes and traffic files are released and available at the Hangar section of our forum. Of course these AI Planes can be used, if you fly online with FS9 and FSX, using FS-Inn for FS9 and FSX.
Here a screenshot of the departing new AI-Traffic A340 at EDDM within FSX, watch the other Cyber Air planes together with MyTrafficX planes on the apron.

Fleet Support
+++We have a new forum on the bulletin board named Fleet Support. Mike Bell has been assigned the position of Director of Fleet Support. He is supported by Jim Crummy, the founder of Fleet Support and will be bringing this up for the needed maintenance of our aircraft and the creation of the flights to fly the aircraft needing maintenance. A new Hub page for Fleet Support is online now.+++
Any Pilot may request Fleet Support from any airport at which the aircraft you are flying develops a problem and can't continue in service without some maintenance or repair. These things can be what actually happened in your game or a fictious event just to generate interest such as
-
a heavy landing
-
aircraft fire
-
collision
-
run off runway
