It's last minute but with such a fast changing real world environment, we need to move quickly to keep up! Welcome back to VATPAC's newest event series, Friday Night Live!
We're bringing you some Friday Night Entertainment that the pubs and clubs can't! Visit a new location or perhaps an old favourite, the possibilities are endless.
This Week
In case you weren't available for the Panic Stations Fix, this week we're moving up the coast to sunny Bris-Vegas where we have just had major changes to the airspace. Where before the airspace was somewhat of a sensible, well-laid out airspace; we are left with what is literally a birds-nest of SIDs and STARs. Bring along your new Navigraph AIRAC to explore the changes. If you don't have one, you can get a Navigraph subscription here https://navigraph.com/SubscriptionOptions.aspx (FMS Data, Charts or both are available via subscriptions).
Please note ATC will not be assigning runway 19R/01L unless requested. This is due to the lack of updated scenery in some simulators and the fact the runway isn't open yet.
We also are highly encouraging anybody who would like to come and fly VFR in Class D (Archerfield – YBAF, and Sunshine Coast – YBSU), Class G (note the new airspace lower limits), or even Class C (fancy some city orbits?). Again, VATPAC staff will be present to answer any questions you might have.
