Today we are introducing you to one of VATPAC's newest events - East Coast Connect! Whether you like to fly IFR in a commercial jet or small turboprop, or VFR in a smaller private aircraft, this is the event for you. Enjoy the beautiful scenery that NSW and the Gold Coast offer within your simulators!
What is East Coast Connect?
Similar to Milk Run Monday, East Coast Connect is where pilots fly between Sydney Kingsford Smith (YSSY) and Brisbane International Airport (YBBN). Expect full ATC Coverage between 0800z and 1200z, as we attempt to fill the MDE and DOS airspace with as many aircraft as possible!

Rostering Trial:
During September & October, the events team will be trialling a rostering system for this event. The roster will be released on the Wednesday before the event. Positions that are not rostered (i.e. no controller assigned on the position) will remain free for all controllers available on the day to control.
Controllers who wish to reserve a position to control during this event are encouraged to apply via https://events.vatpac.org/. After the controller roster is released on Wednesday evening, no controllers will be added to the roster.
Feedback about this trial can be directed to [email protected] or via https://feedback.vatpac.org/.
