   06 July 2020      12 July 2020

   Welcome to the latest VATPAC Iron Mic attempt featuring Melbourne. Help us celebrate the 10 year anniversary of Milk Run Monday with our week of events, including an Iron Mic attempt! 
    
   The following positions will be the primary positions:
    
   ML_TWR
   ML_APP
   ML-SNO_CTR
    
   To give us the best chance possible, please logon to the above positions at Melbourne prior to occupying others. We will be trialling a reservation system where you'll be able to allocate your availability for a position in two hour blocks. If there isn't anyone online however, please jump on!
    
   What is Iron Mic?
   Iron Mic is a weekly competition that VATSIM holds to recognizes the positions with the most hours logged on the network. It is broken into 3 categories; TWR, APP and CTR. The position in each category that logs the most online hours over a 7 day period wins the Iron Mic.
   Iron Mic runs from 0000z on Monday to 2359z on Sunday (0859 Monday AEDT)
   How do we know about our progress?

   Remember, Our aim is to keep the TWR, APP and CTR positions open as much as possible. Coordinate with other controllers to ensure maximum coverage of the Melbourne positions. You can do this via Facebook, Discord and the forums.
    
   VATSIM has set out a few rules regarding Iron Mic which can be viewed here https://forums.vatsim.net/topic/2299-the-rules/

   12 July 2020 07:00 AM      10:00 AM

   Welcome to the final day of VATPAC's week long event extravaganza as we celebrate the 10 Year Anniversary of Milk Run Monday! After a short delay, VATPAC invites you back for yet another Panic Stations Event! This time, we - like we have been all week - will be targeting Melbourne Airport.
   Depart from Sydney International (YSSY,) Adelaide (YPAD,) Canberra (YSCB,) Launceston (YMLT,) or Hobart (YMHB) with full ATC inbound for Melbourne Airport (YMML) between 0700z - 1000z.
    
   Event Details:
   Panic Stations is a simple, yet quite challenging event. Get as many aircraft flying to the destination airport as possible, with only one objective. Arrive at or after the target time to enjoy bragging rights... Well, until the next panic stations event that is!
   For this round, VATPAC will be returning to the traditional Panic Stations format that we know the community has grown to love over the past decade! However, during these unprecedented times, we intend to staff up the aerodromes closest to Melbourne as possible Departure locations for Pilots.
   Available titles for people to win during this event;
   JET & NON-JET Winner  Touch Down Time for this event is 0900z
   Expect delays as we try and accommodate everyone whilst maintaining separation standards! We look forward to seeing you all there!
