Event created by Joshua M - 1342084
Welcome to the next rendition from the Light Up series, Light up Queensland! It is time to pull out those regional aircraft or commercial airliners and explore Australia's tropical paradise, as we attempt to provide the most realistic ATC services for you as you travel to the many stunning destinations that Queensland has to offer.
From the bustling city of Brisbane to the beauty of the Whitsundays and tropical north, Queensland is a spectacle of natural wonder!
What is Light Up Queensland?
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 (OCTA) Services at some of Queenslands lesser known fields from an overlying ENR Controller.
Suggested Major Routes:
Queensland 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!
