Traffic Levels usually begin to pick up around 0800z and peak between 0900-1030z.

Welcome to the next rendition from the Light Up series, Light up Western Australia! It is time to pull out those regional aircraft or commercial airliners and explore Australia's largest state, as we attempt to provide the most realistic ATC services for you as you travel to the many stunning destinations that Western Australia has to offer.
From the bustling city of Perth to the beauty of the Kimberly, Western Australia is a spectacle of natural wonder!
What is Light Up Western Australia?
This event revolves around one of our older events (Regionals and Twins) with the idea being to provide ATC services to more regional locations around the country. Our regional towns don't get the love like the big cities do, so let's change that! Travel to those often-forgotten destinations and provide controllers and pilots alike a different challenge—a chance to fly into an unfamiliar location and try an approach other than the usual ILS approach.
During this event, you will receive an Outside Control Airspace Service at most of our airfields from the overlying ENR Controller. Pilots can expect the following service types depending on the class of airspace.
Suggested Major Routes:
Western Australia has so much to offer and explore! Whether your flight is high or low, fast or slow, there are plenty of routes to fly. Find some of our suggested routes below, bearing in mind that Pilots are more than welcome to fly other routes from other destinations!
Charts for all airports can be found here.

ATC:
Controllers interested in controlling the event are encouraged to submit their ATC Applications here - Applications will remain open until 4 Days before the event date, of which the roster will be compiled on the website.
Non-standard positions will be rostered depending on the number of ATC Applications recieved. A non-standard position is denoted with an (*) beside the callsign.

Welcome to the next installment of Newbie Night. This event offers the chance for inexperienced members to take to the virtual skies and for experienced controllers and pilots to offer their expertise. Whether you are completely new to flight simulation or have been flying for years and never connected to VATSIM, it will be the night for you with plenty of people available to help on the VATPAC Discord. To Join the Discord visit this link.
This event is for:
- Newbie pilots who want to learn and gain confidence flying with live ATC.
- Experienced controllers who are patient and willing to teach.
- Experienced pilots who are patient and willing to share knowledge.
This Week
Fly between Coffs Harbour (YCFS) to Sydney (YSSY) to experience class C and D airspace as well as enroute airspace.
The flight will depart around 0700z (1800 AEDT) with ATC requested/available until around 1100z (2200 AEDT).
An example of procedures from a Class D airport in a non-radar environment to a Class C primary airport in a radar environment can be found here: https://forums.vatpac.org/pilots/tutorials/ifr-albury-to-melbourne/
Routes
The following routes are recommended to fly from Coffs Harbour to Sydney based on real world operations.
Jet aircraft: DCT CFS J70 CORKY H12 BOREE (Coffs Harbour is suitable for jets up to B738/A321 size)
Non-jet aircraft: DCT CFS W214 OLTIN W180 TESAT

If not using live weather, please be mindful of others who are using live weather and will be taking off and landing into the wind.
Distance: 184 nm
Est Flight Time: approx 75 min
Aircraft: Beechcraft Baron or similar aircraft capable of 160 kias.

GPS flight plan is available for FSX/P3D .pln, MFS2020 .pln, X-Plane .fms and Little Navmap.
Navigation: Pilots are encouraged to navigate visually. For those less familiar the GPS flight plan is the recommended method of navigation.
Communications
Australia uses CTAF (Common Traffic Advisory Frequency) for radio comms at uncontrolled airfields. During an event, Pilots are requested to broadcast intentions on the published CTAF. Pilots should also be aware that it is a VATSIM CoC (Code of Conduct) requirement that all pilots at uncontrolled airfields should monitor UNICOM on 122.800. Pilots should ensure that at least one of their radios (COM 2 being the most likely) is tuned to receive UNICOM transmissions in addition to transmitting and receiving on the published CTAF.
Pilots also should read this post regarding the implications of using VATSIM UNICOM for CTAF. It provides some insight into potential pitfalls for the unwary when monitoring 122.80 in a CTAF environment.
Scenery
Due to the plethora of simulation platforms now being used, scenery is left to the discretion of each pilot.

0Welcome to the next installment of Newbie Night. This event offers the chance for inexperienced members to join experienced aviators and controllers and take to the virtual skies. Whether you're completely new to flight simulation or you've been flying for years but never connected to the VATSIM network, this is the night for you with plenty of people available to help on the VATPAC Discord. To Join the Discord visit this link.
Event Details:
Fly between Adelaide (YPAD) and Melbourne (YMML) in either direction to experience Class C and enroute airspace, with a bit of time to relax in cruise and enjoy the scenery. This flight is for:
Newbie pilots who want to learn and gain confidence flying on the VATSIM network with live ATC. Experienced controllers who are patient and willing to help newbie pilots on the network. Experienced pilots who are patient and willing to assist newbie pilots through the VATPAC Discord. Flights will depart from 0800z (1800 AEST) with ATC requested/available until around 1200z (2200 AEST).
We recommend planning to depart before 1030z (2030 AEST) to complete your flight with full ATC.
Tutorials:
This site has tutorials (see Help > Tutorials in the menu) which give an overview of flight and ATC procedures. An example of procedures between Class C airports in a radar environment can be found here: https://vatpac.org/help/pilot-tutorials/ifr-melbourne-to-sydney/
