Sorry for the last minute notice however, we recently received a request to run some ATC for a planned newbie night for some old and new VATPAC members. These experienced real world aviators are ready to take to the Virtual skies with ATC after conducting plenty of offline flying. We thought it was a great idea and want to invite everyone who is willing to share their knowledge or who wants to learn!
Whether you've been flying for years or never connected, it'll be the night for you with plenty of people available to help on the VATPAC Discord.
The Requirements:
- ATC who are willing to teach and have patience
- Pilots who are also patient but would love to share knowledge or learn something knew
This Week
This week, fly from Hobart to Adelaide and experience Class D Procedural airspace, enroute and Class C arrival airspace. The flight will depart around 1900 AEST with ATC requested/available from around 1830 AEST.
