This is the transcript of the SquawkBox text messages by EHM0588 Paul Soetens, used on this page with his kind permission. The colors are SquawkBox standard ones, instructions for the pilot (EHM0588) and private messages are blue, messages of the pilot are red and other messages are green. Some pilots used voice so their communications are not presented here. Also the ATC at LHBP often issued instructions to other pilots in private, so they couldn't be presented here, only the readbacks of the pilots. Note that this text is only for educational purposes for online flying procedures and it's not to be used as a reference in real flying!


For this event I used the Fokker 70 (a class 4 airplane) as I am very familiar with its panel. The flight was from LROP to LHBP and 12 members participated in the event, Our CEO Gergely Kosa took position of the ATC station at LROP and 11 pilots joined in.
When I joined in the event had already started and here is the transcription of the Squawkbox messages that I saw.

These members represent the callsigns used:
