Event Details
Simulation Date/Time : Current date set to daylight.
Weather : Real World / Fair weather if real world is unsuitable for VFR operations.
Distance : 187 nm
Est Flight Time : approx 80 mins
Aircraft : Single or twin turbine engine aircraft such as Beechcraft King Air, Pilatus PC-12 or similar capable of 175 to 225 kias.
Communications : New Zealand uses CTAF (Common Traffic Advisory Frequency) for radio comms at uncontrolled airfields however there are no resources to support individual frequencies as such the use of voice unicom 122.80 is recommended. VATSIM pilots connecting to the network using FSCOPILOT/FSINN can install an additional file that provides the ability to tune the CTAF frequency and make voice announcements to other pilots on frequency. These files can be obtained via this link.
For pilots connecting to VATSIM using VPilot, there is a work around that enables these pilots to also take advantage of online voice CTAF. Refer to this informative VATPAC Forum post to learn how to implement the work around.

Event Details
Flight created by Russell Diehl
This week we from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean via the Panama canal. There is a link to some accompanying scenery enhancements for the flight if so desired. This represents a slow short flight and is an opportunity to undertake the flight in a slow recreational/sports aircraft.
Simulation Date/Time : Current date set to daylight.
Weather : Real World / Fair weather if real world is unsuitable for VFR operations.
Distance : 76 nm
Est Flight Time : approx 80 mins
Aircraft : A light recreational sport such as J-3 Piper Cub, A-22 Foxbat or similar incapable of exceeding 100 knots. Alternatively a helicopter such as the Robison R22 can be used to add flexibility
Communications : Unicom "rw1.vatpac.org/UNICOM_MPZL" for the Panama Region. VATSIM pilots connecting to the network using FSCOPILOT/FSINN can install an additional file that provides the ability to tune the CTAF frequency and make voice announcements to other pilots on frequency. These files can be obtained via this link.
For pilots connecting to VATSIM using VPilot, there is a work around that enables these pilots to also take advantage of online voice CTAF. Refer to this informative VATPAC Forum post to learn how to implement the work around.

Event Details
This week VFR Operations leaves Australia and Jumps the Ditch to fly the islands of New Caledonia. The flight provides a great introduction to the airspace in anticipation of the Summer 2018 Cross the Ditch.
Simulation Date/Time : Current date set to daylight.
Weather : Real World / Fair weather if real world is unsuitable for VFR operations.
Distance : 225 nm
Est Flight Time : approx 85 mins
Aircraft : Twin engine aircraft such as Douglas DC-3, Aero Commander 560 or similar capable of 165 to 2055 kias.
Communications : For those using FSINN or AVS voice communications can be made on 122.80 or "rw1.vatpac.org/UNICOM_NFFF"/"rw1.vatpac.org/UNICOM_AU". VATSIM pilots connecting to the network using FSCOPILOT/FSINN can install an additional file that provides the ability to tune the CTAF frequency and make voice announcements to other pilots on frequency. These files can be obtained via this link.
For pilots connecting to VATSIM using VPilot, there is a work around that enables these pilots to also take advantage of online voice CTAF. Refer to this informative VATPAC Forum post to learn how to implement the work around.
Altitude : Not above 8500
Flightplan
File as : NWWR NWWL NWWV NWWU NWWK
GPS Flightplan is available for FSX and X-Plane FMS and also provided is the original Plan-G flightplan for those that find this useful all enclosed within a Zip archive.
Navigation : Pilots familiar with the area can navigate visually, for those less familiar the accompanying GPS Flightplan is the recommended method of navigating the flight plan.

Weather: Real World / Fair weather if real world is unsuitable for VFR operations.
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: 155 nm
Est Flight Time: approx 75 min
Aircraft: Any GA aircraft capable of 130 kias.
Altitude: Remain in Class G airspace outside Parafield CTR. See waypoint notes below.

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.
