IVAO SOWT 2012

The Special Operations HQ would like to invite you for one more adventure. Read the manual carefully, as it will give all the information you need to complete this tour. Some legs will bring you through active divisions, some of them wont. Always be aware about the civilian traffic! Do not forget: the active ATC is always the boss, so inform him about your mission in your flight plan and via (non)verbal communication. In most cases, youll only receive the departure and arrival airports. Route planning and such is entirely up to you. Take care about the route planning: in case of active divisions area, you have to choose from the existing STAR and SID procedures to avoid any interference with the civilian traffic. The good SO pilots always have charts on board and prepare themselves properly for the flight. Please remind, IVAO is mostly a civilian network, we should apply the general IVAO rules. Nonetheless, each leg has its own special rules. These shall define the flight level, speed, aircraft type, weather conditions, preferred time settings etc. If there are no restrictions (e.g.: for supersonic flights) keep to the general rules. For any deviation from the general rules, under active ATC, ask his permission. Obs.: Adjust the Scenery Complexity, at least, as Normal in FS Display settings. General rules: Max. speed limit for military a/c is 350 IAS below FL100. Max. speed limit for civilian a/c is 250 IAS below FL100. Max. speed is Mach 0.90 above FL100, except where supersonic flight is approved. Military call sign is required. Additional sceneries required. Charts should always be on board. Flight Plan should always be filled in correctly. Each leg should be reported before you start the next one. You have to fly these in order. Maximum 1 leg is accepted per day. Real (IvAp) weather required, except where the manual mentions different.

1st Deployment - Haiti

Background Restoring a secure and stable environment The United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) was established on 1 June 2004 by Security Council resolution 1542. The UN mission succeeded a Multinational Interim Force (MIF) authorized by the Security Council in February 2004 after President Bertrand Aristide departed Haiti for exile in the aftermath of an armed conflict which spread to several cities across the country. The devastating earthquake of 12 January 2010, which resulted in more than 220,000 deaths (according to Haitian Government figures), including 96 UN peacekeepers, delivered a severe blow to country's already shaky economy and infrastructure. The Security Council, by resolution 1908 of 19 January 2010, endorsed the Secretary-General's recommendation to increase the overall force levels of MINUSTAH to support the immediate recovery, reconstruction and stability efforts in the country. Following the completion of Presidential elections in 2011, MINUSTAH has been working to fulfill its original mandate to restore a secure and stable environment, to promote the political process, to strengthen Haitis Government institutions and ruleof-law-structures, as well as to promote and to protect human rights. The Mission has continued to mobilize its logistical resources to assist in the effort to contain and treat the cholera outbreak October 2010.

Background Facilitating the implementation of the 2003 peace agreement by the Ivorian parties Having determined that the situation in Cte dIvoire continued to pose a threat to international peace and security in the region and acting under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, the Security Council, by its resolution 1528 (2004) of 27 February 2004, decided to establish the United Nations Operation in Cte d'Ivoire (UNOCI) as from 4 April 2004. UNOCI replaced the United Nations Mission in Cte d'Ivoire (MINUCI), a political mission set up by the Council in May 2003 with a mandate to facilitate the implementation by the Ivorian parties of the peace agreement signed by them in January 2003. Following the 2010 Presidential election and the ensuing political crisis in Cte d'Ivoire, UNOCI has remained on the ground to support the new Ivorian Government. If you want to know more about the UNOCI, please visit: http://www.un.org/en/peacekeeping/missions/unoci/

He arranged a fighter flight to you! You will fly now the top attack aircraft used by the Cte dIvoire AirForce, the famous and well know Sukhoi Su-25 Frogfoot. Ok, it is not as fast as your F-18 but consider how much time you do not enter a fighter cockpit. We know you will love the flight! Get the Frogfoot and cross to the MONUSCO Mission at Congo. You choose your flight rules here. Leg #27 FZAA FZAA (Firefighting Aircraft or Helo) Arriving at Kinshasa, you are asked to participate in a firefighting mission in the Congo Mountains.

Background Consolidating peace and security and helping to establish conditions for development On 9 July 2011 South Sudan became the newest country in the world. The birth of the Republic of South Sudan is the culmination of a six-year peace process which began with the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) in 2005. In adopting resolution 1996 (2011) on 8 July 2011, the Security Council determined that the situation faced by South Sudan continued to constitute a threat to international peace and security in the region. The Security Council established the United Nations Mission in the Republic of South Sudan (UNMISS) for an initial period of one year, starting from 9 July 2011. UNMISS is on the ground to consolidate peace and security and to help establish conditions for development. If you want to know more about the UNMISS, please visit: http://www.un.org/en/peacekeeping/missions/unmiss/ Leg #28 FZAA HSSJ (Transport) Cross the Central Africa and avoid the yellow areas as they are known as rebels focuses and problems are expected inside them.

Background Demilitarizing and monitoring peace in the disputed Abyei Area The Security Council, by its resolution 1990 of 27 June 2011, responded to the urgent situation in Sudans Abyei region by establishing the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA). The Security Council was deeply concerned by the violence, escalating tensions and population displacement. The operation will monitor the flashpoint border between north and south, and is authorized to use force in protecting civilians and humanitarian workers in Abyei. UNISFAs establishment came after the Government of Sudan and the Sudan Peoples Liberation Movement (SPLM) reached an agreement in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to demilitarize Abyei and let Ethiopian troops to monitor the area.

4th Deployment Europe and Middle East

Background Promoting security, stability and respect for human rights in Kosovo Originally, the Security Council, by its resolution 1244 of 10 June 1999, authorized the Secretary-General to establish an international civil presence in Kosovo the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) in order to provide an interim administration for Kosovo under which the people of Kosovo could enjoy substantial autonomy. Its task was unprecedented in complexity and scope; the Council vested UNMIK with authority over the territory and people of Kosovo, including all legislative and executive powers and administration of the judiciary. Subsequently, following the declaration of independence by the Kosovo authorities and the entry into force of a new constitution on 15 June 2008, the tasks of the Mission have significantly been modified to focus primarily on the promotion of security, stability and respect for human rights in Kosovo.

A small Cessna with two guys flying from LAKU to LWOH simply didnt arrive at its destination. Your task is to locate the aircraft and report its position. If you are flying a Helo, you are responsible for the rescue of the guys). Leg #32 LYPR LCEN (Transport, Night Flight, HIGH-LOW-HIGH, Parachute Jump) You have to continue your trip to Cyprus, however, we will use your flight to a Special Ops Exercise at night. You will transport a SpecOps Platoon to a low-altitude parachute jump over the Karpathos and Kasos Airfields. Two Landing Zones (LZs), one over LGKP and a second one over LGKS. Establish a normal flight level for your flight and plan to cross the Aegean Sea by night directly to Karpathos (LGKP). Well before Astypalaia (LGPL) descend to a low-level flight to your objective area. Give the first green light at LGKP and rush to the second jump at LGKS, both at 1500FT AGL. Proceed in a low-level flight direct to LCEN.

Background Contributing to a political settlement in Cyprus UNFICYP was originally set up by the Security Council in 1964 to prevent further fighting between the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities. After the hostilities of 1974, the Council has mandated the Force to perform certain additional functions. In the absence of a political settlement to the Cyprus problem, UNFICYP has remained on the island to supervise ceasefire lines, maintain a buffer zone, undertake humanitarian activities and support the good offices mission of the Secretary-General. If you want to know more about the UNFICYP, please visit: http://www.un.org/en/peacekeeping/missions/unficyp/
Leg #33 LCEN LCEN (Helo, Transport) As you are the unique rescue pilot in the island at this moment, this task is for you, Major! A large trade vessel declared emergency 50NM southwest of the island. Rescue the crew waiting you at the convoy. Hurry up! Find the exact position because you will need two legs to rescue all the crew members. If you are in a plane, get the coordinates and overfly the area for 10 minutes before returning to LCEN for a full stop landing.

Leg #34 LCEN ZZZZ [UNIFIL Headquarters] You have to move to Nqoura right now, Major. Your destiny is the UNIFIL Headquarters. Take off from Cyprus and head to Lebanon.

Background Monitoring cessation of hostilities and helping ensure humanitarian access to civilian population Originally, UNIFIL was created by the Security Council in March 1978 to confirm Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon, restore international peace and security and assist the Lebanese Government in restoring its effective authority in the area. The mandate had to be adjusted twice, due to the developments in 1982 and 2000. Following the July/August 2006 crisis, the Council enhanced the Force and decided that in addition to the original mandate, it would, among other things, monitor the cessation of hostilities; accompany and support the Lebanese armed forces as they deploy throughout the south of Lebanon; and extend its assistance to help ensure humanitarian access to civilian populations and the voluntary and safe return of displaced persons. If you want to know more about the UNIFIL, please visit: http://www.un.org/en/peacekeeping/missions/unifil/
Leg #35 ZZZZ [UNIFIL Headquarters] LLJR (Helo, Transport) Proceed to Jerusalem. Maybe you can find your old friend Mic. The last information you have about him is that he is also a pilot but in the Israeli Air Force. Remember when he and his family moved to Israel? Maintain the low-level as we cant assure your safety in the area.

Background Helping to bring stability in the Middle East Set up in May 1948, UNTSO was the first ever peacekeeping operation established by the United Nations. Since then, UNTSO military observers have remained in the Middle East to monitor ceasefires, supervise armistice agreements, prevent isolated incidents from escalating and assist other UN peacekeeping operations in the region to fulfill their respective mandates. UNTSO personnel have also been available at short notice to form the nucleus of some other peacekeeping operations worldwide. The availability of UNTSO's military observers for almost immediate deployment after the Security Council had acted to create a new mission has been an enormous contributory factor to the early deployment and the success of those operations. If you want to know more about the UNTSO, please visit: http://www.un.org/en/peacekeeping/missions/untso/
Leg #36 LLJR LLJR (Jet Fighter, Supersonic flight allowed) In the UNTSO you found an old friend, now General Micklewicz of the Israeli AirForce. You told him your history and why you are there and he thought he can make something for you right now. He simply gets the phone and in a 15 minutes talk, you are confirmed inside an F-16 cockpit of the Israeli Air force in a Patrol in the Gulfs of Aqaba and Suez. Your main objective is to observe the movement of military vessels inside both Gulfs. Report the location of the observed ships. Take off from Jerusalem and head to Gulf of Aqaba at a maximum 5500FT AGL, at the Red Sea turn right to enter the Gulf of Suez. In the Mediterranean coast, turn left again and head to Jerusalem along the Gaza Strip.

Leg #37 LLJR OAKB (Jet Fighter, Supersonic flight allowed above FL420) Your old friend prepared a second surprise to you. He allowed you to follow with the F16 to your next stop at Kabul, in Afghanistan. An Israeli Squad is there with an available pilot to bring the aircraft back so bye bye. Nice to meet you, Major.

5th Deployment Asia

Background The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) is a political mission established by the Security Council in 2002 at the request of the Government to assist it and the people of Afghanistan in laying the foundations for sustainable peace and development in the country. Prior to the most recent extension, UN Security Council Resolution 1917 (2010) provided UNAMA and the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Afghanistan, Staffan de Mistura, with a mandate to support the Government in its efforts to improve critical areas, including security, governance and economic development, and regional cooperation, as well as to support the full implementation of mutual commitments made on these issues at the London Conference in January 2010 and the subsequent Kabul Conference in July 2010. The mandate also recognized the critical importance of monitoring and coordination of efforts to protect civilians and support wider human rights, in particular the rights of women and children. In addition, UNAMA has worked hand-inhand with United Nations agencies, funds and programs providing a wide range of humanitarian support to the Afghan people as well as policy and program support to various Government Ministries on development matters. The framework for cooperation between the Government of Afghanistan, the United Nations and the international community has been outlined and agreed upon in a number of key documents and conferences. Many key benchmarks are also complemented by the UNs Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), a set of eight social and economic targets that governments agreed to meet by 2015. In addition, in 2011, all the UN agencies and programs in Afghanistan agreed to work together on five main priorities which include 1) peace, reconciliation and reintegration; 2) human rights protection and promotion; 3) sub-national governance and the rule of law; 4) maternal and newborn health; and 5) sustainable livelihoods.

Background Observing the ceasefire in Jammu and Kashmir The first group of United Nations military observers arrived in the mission area on 24 January of 1949 to supervise the ceasefire between India and Pakistan in the State of Jammu and Kashmir. These observers, under the command of the Military Adviser appointed by the UN Secretary-General, formed the nucleus of the United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP). Following renewed hostilities of 1971, UNMOGIP has remained in the area to observe developments pertaining to the strict observance of the ceasefire of 17 December 1971 and report thereon to the Secretary-General. If you want to know more about the UNMOGIP, please visit: http://www.un.org/en/peacekeeping/missions/unmogip/ Leg #39 VISR VISR (Helo, Transport) The pakistany region of Islamabad is under rebel control at this moment.
