Jandakot Aerodrome This event is designed to expose pilots to the sort of activities commonly conducted during routine training and general aviation operations at the aerodrome. Pilots familiar with Jandakot may at their discretion undertake their own activities during the event however should be mindful about minimising any denial of active runways whilst they are undertaking their own activities. Event requirements are in two parts. One part is conducted as circuit operations and the second a short flight requiring the pilot to exit and then re-enter the control zone. Each can be conducted at pilot's discretion as they can be undertaken in no particular order. There is an advantage to attempting to conduct the circuit component initially as a clearance is required before engine start. Typically, ATC will limit then number of aircraft in the circuit to no greater than six. If a request for circuits is not granted then pilots can continue the flight out of and into the Jandakot control zone as an alternative. Upon return pilots can then seek to conduct circuit operations. Pilots unfamiliar with operating out of Jandakot are strongly encouraged to refer to the section "Recommended Resources" below. In particular, read through "Jandakot ERSA" and check out "tips for flying at Jandakot". A good OFFLINE run through prior to the event will help inspire additional confidence and familiarity when it comes time to fly in the event. Event Details To best simulate real world ops, pilots should consider themselves as operating under those conditions. Pilots are also free to employ the use of different aircraft for each of the components. Both components are to be conducted independently. That is, the initial use of an aircraft from one of the southern, central or northern aprons should require taxi to a run up bay to conduct final checks pior to taxiing to the active runway. After the completion of the first component, pilots can opt to continue using the same aircraft and immediately transition to the runway to complete the remaining component or return to the apron, change aircraft and start again. Unless there is critical time pressure, pilots are to avoid flying both components by transiting from one to the other whilst operating the aircraft. For example, requesting to depart via Fremantle Golf Course to fly to Rottnest after conducting a sequence of circuits is discouraged. Simulation Date/Time : Current date set to daylight. Night ops for this event is unavailable. Weather : Real World / Fair weather if real world is unsuitable for VFR operations. Aircraft : Single piston engine training aircraft such as Cessna 152/172 or similar capable of 105 to 125 kias. Better yet, fly two differing types for each component.

Perth VTC (Visual Terminal Chart) Indispensible pilot resource when flying VFR around Perth/Jandakot. A small exerpt is provided below for convenience. Air Services Australia Tips for flying at Jandakot A good insight to expectations in regards to flying circuits and making radio calls at Jandakot. Coincidently, charts in this publication precede the recent upgrades and reflect the current simulation sceneries that will be used for this event. Live ATC - Jandakot A good way to get a feel for radio calls used at the aerodrome. Especially useful with reference to Aerodrome charts and VTC OnTrack - Jandakot Operations CASA video to provide pilots with greater situational awareness when operating at Jandakot Youtube video - Approach into Jandakot Airport with ATC Provides insight into just how busy Jandakot can be, especially when the duty runway is 12/30. The arrival also illustrates the unique feature of exiting at taxiway "V" and not having to get clearance to cross runway 06R. Circuit Operations Good airmanship is essential to flying a busy controlled aerodrome circuit. Pilots have to maintain good situational awareness whilst flying and communicating on the radio. This can make for a busy and at times, stressful cockpit environment. Pilots should choose an aircraft with which they are familiar and comfortable flying. Most of all, flying a busy circuit with ATC can be immensely rewarding and more importantly, fun. Preflight preparation File flightplan Altitude 1000ft Route - "CCTS" Set transponder to 3000 if ATC is active, otherwise set transponder to 1200. If NOT transitioning directly from flying circuits - ATC ACTIVE Obtain Jandakot ATIS then obtain startup clearance for circuits CTAF - determine the feasibility of conducting uncontrolled circuits under CTAF. Choose CICUIT RUNWAY based on aircraft already in the circuit. Note, circuit runway 24L/06R is not available. There is a limit of five aircraft in the circuit when Jandokot is not controlled. ATC ACTIVE - '[AIRCRAFT TYPE][CALLSIGN] [POSITION] REQUEST TAXI [B1/B5] RUN UP BAY' CTAF ADVISE taxi to [B1/B5] RUN UP BAY Complete run up checks then arrange to taxi to the duty runway. ATC ACTIVE - '[AIRCRAFT TYPE][CALLSIGN] [POSITION] REQUEST TAXI RUNWAY [CIRCUIT RUNWAY]' CTAF ADVISE taxi from [B1/B5] to the [CIRCUIT RUNWAY] At the hold point of the circuit runway. ATC ACTIVE announce "Ready hold point [CIRCUIT RUNWAY] received [ATIS ID] for CIRCUITS" CTAF ADVISE ENTERING and TAKING OFF [CIRCUIT RUNWAY] for circuits CIRCUITS REQUIRE MANDATORY CALLS ON THE DOWNWIND LEG. "[AIRCRAFT TYPE][CALLSIGN][POSITION] DOWNWIND [INTENTION] / {OPTIONAL}[APPROACH REQUEST]" [AIRCRAFT TYPE] - Simple reference to the aircraft such "cessna","piper","katana","grob" etc... [CALLSIGN] - Phonetics of the aircraft registration, or company callsign. ie VH-VFR - 'Victor Foxtrot Romeo' or 'Rescue 1' [POSITION] - Location with reference to the circuit. The ciruit diagram below breaks up three of the legs into 'early' (typically assumed when not included. Used more often in reference to traffic in the circuit by ATC) 'mid' or 'late'. Also employed by ATC to advise positions of other traffic in the circuit. example "Late Downwind" [INTENTION] - Typically requests either "FULL STOP", "TOUCH AND GO" or "STOP AND GO" amongst others. [APPROACH REQUEST] - May include non standard activities such as "GLIDE", "FLAPLESS", "ASSYMETRIC" among others. Common example 'CESSNA Victor Foxtrot Romeo DOWNWIND TOUCH AND GO' a more complex example 'TOBAGO Victor Romeo Delta MID DOWNWIND FULL STOP GLIDE APPROACH' NOTE : During this event, Pilots may request a SINGLE SUCCESSFUL "STOP AND GO" to be undertaken at the discretion of ATC. A pilot who wishes to do one of these should do so with some consideration to the pilot behind. Try to avoid executing the stop and go at a time when the pilot behind is likely to request an abnormal "GLIDE" or "FLAPLESS" approach. The pilot will obviously want to avoid being forced to abandon a non standard approach with a go around because they were denied access to the runway by an aircraft executing a stop and go. Pilots can get a more detailed explanation as to the likely responses ATC will provide and the appropriate read backs to be made by pilots in the Air Services Australia Tips for flying at Jandakot. The circuit diagram in this publication is provided below for convenience. Tasks to complete whilst flying the circuits Start with at least 1 successful STANDARD (STD) circuit before undertaking NOB-STANDARD (NON-STD) approaches. After a STD circuit or Go Around, execute 1 successful NON-STD GLIDE APPROACH On downwind call append "GLIDE APPROACH" as a [APPROACH REQUEST] IF ATC acknowledges then reduce throttles to idle mid-downwind and conduct a sweeping turn to the runway. Be sure to know the best glide speed for the aircraft being flown After a STD circuit or Go Around, execute 1 successful NON-STD FLAPLESS APPROACH On downwind call append "FLAPLESS APPROACH" as a [APPROACH REQUEST] IF ATC acknowledges then extend downwind an additional 5 seconds to accommodate the shallower approach angle and allow extra distance for a slightly higher approach speed and fly to the runway without deploying any flap. (not applicable on aircraft types without flaps) Execute at least 2 "GO AROUNDS". There is a likelihood this will occur naturally as a part of flying the circuits, otherwise, do so by intention. Announce [CALLSIGN] GOING AROUND. DO NOT fly along runway center line. If parallel runways are in use then fly to the "LIVE" side of the center line otherwise fly "DEAD" (opposite side to the side of the circuit direction) side. Once all of the above has been completed announce "FULL STOP" on downwind call, land and then taxi clear of the runway Once clear set transponder to STD BY and contact Ground/Tower if active otherwise announce taxi intentions. This will either be to taxi to one of the aprons (NORTHERN, CENTRAL or SOUTHERN) or to taxi to a runway to depart for Rottnest Island. Flight out and into Jandakot Control Zone A simple flight to Rottnest Island (Touch and Go Optional) then return and land at Jandakot. For more advanced pilots, there is an alternative option of flying via the Victor 65 scenic city route. This is part of the next Jandakot event and details of the departure are described for the event and can be found by clicking this link. Pilots are of course free to fly anywhere in Class G once clear of the control zone and should not feel compelled to fly the leg to Rottnest Island. Other alternatives include flying north or south along the coast. Pilots should refer to the local Perth VTC as they will be required to remain clear of Perth Class C and the numerous restricted areas in the vicinity. Preflight preparation File flightplan Altitude 2000ft Route : YPJT FREM YRTI POWR YPJT 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. The GPS Flight plan is useful in assisting pilots to locate the visual reporting points of FREM & POWR where scenery may not provide sufficient detail in the simulator to verify the locations accurately ATC ACTIVE Set transponder to 3000 and obtain Jandakot ATIS CTAF Set transponder 1200 and determine active runway. Adopt the runway in use by active aircraft otherwise consult the local weather and choose accordingly. If NOT transitioning directly from flying circuits - ATC ACTIVE - '[AIRCRAFT TYPE][CALLSIGN] [POSITION] REQUEST TAXI [B1/B5] RUN UP BAY' CTAF ADVISE taxi to [B1/B5] RUN UP BAY Complete run up checks then prepare to taxi to the duty runway.

Expect join instructions JANDAKOT [YPJT] Land - Visual D-3 Perth VTC Communications Australia uses CTAF (Common Traffic Advisory Frequency) for radio comms at uncontrolled airfields. Now that VATSIM has introduced AFV (Audio For VATSIM) CTAF can now be used across all VATSIM approved pilot clients. Pilots are requested to tune to the published frequency as detailed in the flight details for an event when operating in or around an aerodome to make and monitor CTAF broadcasts. Pilots should also be aware that it is a VATSIM COC (Code of Conduct) requirement that all pilots at uncontrolled airfields should monitor Unicom (Australia 122.80). It is highly recommended that pilots ensure that at least one of their "on board" COM radios (COM 2 being the most likely) is tuned to receive unicom transmissions in addition to transmitting and receiving on the published CTAF frequency. Please Note. All pilots should also be vigilant regarding the receipt of text on both unicom and CTAF. If it is discovered there is a pilot participating that is unable to receive voice transmissions, pilots should arrange to also broadcast via text to ensure those pilots without the benefit of voice is able to receive appropriate broadcasts. VATSIM provides an update guide for getting AFV working on each of the approved pilot clients.

It's been some time since the last Real Ops. Actually, over 3 years and it’s coming back strong, with 8 hours of continuous ATC service. Real Ops will be held in Sydney, so get strapped in! With this returning so has the website. All the information as well as ATC applications and pilot information can be found at https://realops.vatpac.org What is Real Ops? The idea is quite simple. Real Ops focuses on running the airport like it was the real world, this means that all ATC positions are rostered. Pilots can expect holding and waits so remember to bring extra fuel. Controllers can expect hard work and many nonstandard procedures to deal with the traffic. This time we will be focusing on Sydney’s Kingsford-Smith International Airport, which is the busiest airport in Australia by passenger volume and has the longest runway in the Southern hemisphere. There will be over 8 hours of continuous ATC services and 20+ ATC positions. What ever you like, there will be something for you! The Details Sunday, October 7th ATC will be provided from 0000z-0800z(10:00-18:00 AEST) You can find all rostered positions, pilot information and more at https://realops.vatpac.org ATC Applications here: https://realops.vatpac.org . Applications will close Friday 28SEPT18. The roster will be published by Sunday 30SEPT18.

You know it's the end of the month when Spilled Milk Run Monday is back on the calendar. This week we are taking you to Sydney and Launceston! Fly between Sydney Kingsford Smith (YSSY), Hobart (YMHB) and Launceston (YMLT) with the expectations of ATC Services throughout your flight! Traffic Levels usually begin to pick up between 0830z and peak between 0930z-1030z. Routes: We recommend the following routes between Hobart, Launceston and Sydney.

Note new start time due to the start of daylight savings Simulation Date/Time: Current date set to daylight. Weather: Real World / Fair weather if real world is unsuitable for VFR operations. Please note Rule B13 in the VATSIM Code of Conduct regarding weather. Distance: 133 nm Est Flight Time: Approx 75 min Aircraft: Cessna 172 or similar aircraft capable of 110-120 kias. Altitude: Remain in Class G airspace outside Rockhampton CTR. See waypoint notes below. Flight plan File as: YEML YBTR YDRG SPS YBRK 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.

NOTE: It is recommended that pilots read the Sydney General Flying Guide for a more in depth description of some of the procedures in this flight. 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.

By far our most popular of all the weekly events, on any given Monday you'll find the famous "J-Curve" between Melbourne and Sydney well serviced by both pilots and ATC. Not to be confused with out Spilled Milk Run Monday events held on the last Monday of every month, pilots can expect ATC services as you fly between Melbourne and Sydney, or any destination in between (Canberra, Albury etc). Traffic Levels usually begin to pick up around 0800z and peak between 0900-1030z. Routes: We recommend the following routes between Melbourne, Canberra and Sydney.

After the controller roster is released on Saturday evening, no controllers will be added to the roster. Positions that do not have a nominated controller (i.e. no controller assigned on the position) will remain free for all controllers available on the day to control. *Non-Standard positions* will be available for opening depending on traffic levels. They may only be opened once all of the rostered positions are filled. Please see a member of the Board of Directors, or a C3 rated controller to be granted permission to open a non-standard position. Please review the controller NOTAM here for detailed information about which Non-Standard Positions are automatically authorized.

In the words of Monty Python..”and now for something completely different”. This weeks flight 21st July 2021 takes us on a tour of numerous lighthouses off the south coast of Finland. The flight needs to be flown low albeit at approx. 150kias. There is adequate scenery for both X-Plane and MSFS2020 so please refer to links hereunder. We depart from Mariehamn (EFMA) on the Finnish autonomous territory on the island of Aland and fly over some lighthouses with a T&G at Hanko (EFHN) on the edge of the mainland. From there we continue past more lighthouses (I know, MFL) to the capital Helsinki where the flight finishes (pun intended) at the main Helsinki GA Airfield of Malmi (EFHF). Flight suggested by Dan McKee YMA555 Scenery Suggested: This is really more than a suggestion to get the most out of this flight otherwise you will see a lot of water. They are not large downloads. X-Plane 11 Finnish Lighthouses 1.0.0 MSFS2020 Finnish South Coast Lighthouses Both simulators also have scenery for airports involved so I leave it up to individuals to locate as desired.

Simulation Date/Time: Current date set to daylight. 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: 184 nm Est Flight Time: approx 75 mins Aircraft: Any GA aircraft capable of 140-160 kias and landing on an 800m grass runway. Altitude: Remain in class G airspace. See waypoint notes below. Flight plan File as: YGDI YILW YMMN YPWH YSOB YWYR YGAS LKON FNV WHDW YWSG GPS flight plan is available for FSX/P3D .pln, MFS2020 .pln, X-Plane .fms and Little Navmap. This package includes high res charts. Navigation: Pilots are encouraged to navigate visually. For those less familiar the accompanying 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. Updated X-Plane 11 scenery is available for Wyreema in OzXP and for other airports.

The sounds of crashing blue waves and the sight of luscious rainforests can only mean that this FIFO Friday has brought us to Far North Queensland and the region of Leichhardt. Being "where the rainforest meets the reef" as any local will tell you, this region has some of the best views in the country. Whether it be the world heritage listed Great Barrier Reef, the infamous Daintree Rainforest, or the mining hub of the Atherton Tablelands, this region definitely has a scenery to suit everyone. Here, FIFO flights focus on connecting the indigenous communities of Cape York to Cairns (YBCS). These flights are often the only connection to these towns, playing an important role in keeping a unique and ancient culture alive well into the future. You too can bask in the wonders of Leichhardt by joining us between 0700z and 1000z (5pm-8pm AEST : 3pm-6pm AWST) for ATC coverage of the region. Regardless of your aircraft type, or experience level, we invite you to come take advantage of a fully staffed Cairns (YBCS), as well as enroute coverage from three different sectors encompassing the entire region. No matter where you fly, we hope you enjoy your time and we welcome you to Leichhardt this July! Routes: The below map highlights some of the most popular routes which can be flown in this region: Other airports of note within this region include: Mareeba (YMBA), Coen (YCOE), and Lockhart River (YLHR) With ATC covering the entire region, pilots are free to fly in whichever direction and between whichever airports they choose. For the more airport pairs, we recommend the following routings: YBCS - YCKN: CS W567 GUPDA YBCS - YBWP: CS B473 WP YBCS - YHID: CS R204 HID YBCS - YPMP: CS Z11 MASHA YBCS - YKOW: CS W281 KOW YBCS - YNTN: CS J64 NONUM W793 NTN YBCS - YAUR: CS Z42 NECTA YBCS - YNPE: CS W567 LHR Special Procedures: Leichhardt is home to a whole array of magnificent regional airfields for you to explore. Being too small for full control services, OCTA services will be provided by enroute controllers to assist you. Below is a guide to help you with these servies: Departure: Taxi Call: The taxi call informs ATC of your intentions and that you are taxiing at your respective airfield. In response, centre will provide you with a traffic statement and a squawk code. Example: SKP71: "Brisbane Centre, IFR Dash 8, SKYTRANS 71 taxies runway 14 at Pormpuraaw for Cairns" BN-ARA_CTR: "SKYTRANS78, no reported IFR traffic, squawk 4782" SKP71: "Squawk 4782, SKYTRANS 71" Departure Call: Once you have departed, the departure call allows ATC to identify you and to provide you with your airways clearance to your destination. Example: SKP71: "Centre, SKYTRANS 71 departure" BN-ARA_CTR: "SKYTRANS 71, centre" SKP71: "SKYTRANS 71 departed Pormpuraaw at time 49, tracking direct MASHA, passing 4500 for FL190, estimating MASHA at time :02" BN-ARA_CTR: "SKYTRANS 71, cleared to Cairns via MASHA flight planned route, climb FL190" SKP71: "Cleared to Cairns via MASHA flight planned route, climbing to FL190, SKYTRANS 71" Arrival: Descent: As you approach your destination, the centre controller will advise you that you are cleared to leave controlled airspace on your descent. They will provide you with a clearance, traffic statement, and the local QNH. Example: BN-ARA_CTR: SKYRANS 53, leave control area descending, no reported IFR traffic, area QNH 1015" Termination of SARWATCH: Once you have arrived at your destination, inform centre that you have landed and expect them to respond with a termination of your SARWATCH. Example: SKP53: "Centre, SKYTRANS 53 landed Aurukun, time 38; cancel SARWATCH" BN-ARA_CTR: "SKYTRANS 53, Aurukun SARWATCH terminated, time 38" Communication with Other Aircraft: When you are not in communication with the overlying enroute controller, you must announce you intentions on UNICOM (122.800), as well as monitoring and using the local CTAF frequency for traffic in the vicinity. For more information, see here: https://vatpac.org/help/tutorials/ctaf-unicom-and-vhf2-monitoring/ ATC: FIFO Fridays are rostered events and applications can be filed via the events website: https://events.vatpac.org/ Only standard positions are rostered during FIFO Fridays, with non-standard positions only becoming available according to traffic levels, and only with the approval of a Senior Staff Member or C3 Controller.

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. Communications Australia uses CTAF (Common Traffic Advisory Frequency) for radio comms at uncontrolled airfields. Now that VATSIM has introduced AFV (Audio For VATSIM) CTAF can now be used across all VATSIM approved pilot clients. Pilots are requested to tune to the published frequency as detailed in the flight details for an event when operating in or around an aerodome to make and monitor CTAF broadcasts. Pilots should also be aware that it is a VATSIM COC (Code of Conduct) requirement that all pilots at uncontrolled airfields should monitor Unicom (Australia 122.80). It is highly recommended that pilots ensure that at least one of their "on board" COM radios (COM 2 being the most likely) is tuned to receive unicom transmissions in addition to transmitting and receiving on the published CTAF frequency. Please Note. All pilots should also be vigilant regarding the receipt of text on both unicom and CTAF. If it is discovered there is a pilot participating that is unable to receive voice transmissions, pilots should arrange to also broadcast via text to ensure those pilots without the benefit of voice is able to receive appropriate broadcasts. VATSIM provides an update guide for getting AFV working on each of the approved pilot clients. Pilots should also 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.

NB: Flights now commencing at 8.30pm AEDST (1030z) or 7.30pm AEST (0930z). This is due to effects of Daylight savings in some Australian states This Weeks Flight on 7th October 2020 finds us in the United Kingdon flying from Wolverhampton (EGBO) to Blackpool (EGNH). A feature of this flight is using the Manchester Low Level Corridor on approach to and departure from Manchester Barton (EGCB). It's not difficult at all and in this flight we enter the corridor at Oulton Park (wpt1 on plan). Maximum altitude through corridor is 1,300ft. Flight based on a suggestion by David Grant (Vatsim United Kingdom) Reference to the following links will assist the procedure for flying through the corridor. It is not difficult at all just remain at or below 1,300ft from Oulton Park to Manchester Barton and note, do not confuse Manchester Barton with Manchester International (EGCC).

Evening All, This is a little out of the ordinary, but the Event's Department is promoting an unofficial event being held on Sunday the 19th July 2020 for the sendoff of the final B744 from the Qantas Fleet. The following event information was provided ATC is requested for this event!!! from 0000z - 0500z as the pilots fly from Sydney to Longreach via Brisbane! SY_TWR SY_APP BN-MDE_CTR BN-DOS_CTR BN-ISA_CTR BN_APP BN_TWR

Adelaide Non-precision Approach Night The name says it all. Due to "ground works" at Adelaide airport all precision approaches have been temporarily decommissioned. Nothing but non-precision approaches in use for this event! Whats the difference between a precision and non-precision approach? Non-precision approaches provide lateral guidance (that is, heading information), but do not provide vertical guidance (i.e., altitude and/or glidepath guidance). some example of these include; VOR - VHF omnidirectional range NDB - Non-directional beacon RNP - Required navigation performance Precision approach systems provide both lateral (heading) and vertical (glidepath) guidance. some examples of these include; ILS - Instrument landing system GLS - GBAS landing system For more information on types of approaches click here. Focus Airport: YPAD - Adelaide International Airport Time and Date: Sunday 12th April 2020 0700z - 1000z 3pm - 6pm AWST 5pm - 8pm AEST ATC Positions: ATC positions will not be rostered for this event so positions will be available on a first come first served basis.

Welcome to the latest VATPAC Iron Mic attempt featuring Darwin. Darwin is the gateway to the Northern Territory and features a vast majority of domestic destinations to choose from. With the recent release of MFSG Darwin scenery why not join us up north as we light up the Northern Territory capital. The following positions will be the primary positions: DN_TWR DN_APP BN-TRT_CTR To give us the best chance possible, please logon to the above positions at Darwin prior to occupying others. Remember, There are no reserved positions so if one of the above positions is available, logon! What is Iron Mic? Iron Mic is a weekly competition that VATSIM holds to recognizes the positions with the most hours logged on the network. It is broken into 3 categories; TWR, APP and CTR. The position in each category that logs the most online hours over a 7 day period wins the Iron Mic. Iron Mic runs from 0000z on Monday to 2359z on Sunday (0859 Monday AEDT) How do we know about our progress? Click on this link (http://fsmine.dhis.org/stats/showstats.cgi) to view all the VATSIM ATC stats for the week. Remember, Our aim is to keep the TWR, APP and CTR positions open as much as possible. Coordinate with other controllers to ensure maximum coverage of the Cairns positions. You can do this on Facebook, Teamspeak or the forums. VATSIM has set out a few rules regarding Iron Mic which can be viewed here https://forums.vatsim.net/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=11100 If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! Good Luck VATPAC!

What is Regionals and Twins? Taking the focus off major airports and the big jets, Regionals and Twins celebrates both Australia's vast network of inland and outback hubs and the aircraft that service them. You'll need a prop, turbo-prop or small business jet to get in and out of most of the places visited in a Regionals and Twins event but you'll get to enjoy some spectacular scenery as you cruise along at low levels. Controllers are also taken out of their comfort zone as ATC often sees procedural positions. This week's Details This month we'll be focusing on Albury airport. Albury airport is an airport 240nm to the south west of Sydney and sits on the north side of the VIC / NSW state border. Its main purpose is to service the city of Albury with its 1,900 meter long runway. This airport services about 280,000 passenger movements each year making it the second busiest regional airport in NSW.

Weather : Real World / Fair weather if real world is unsuitable for VFR operations. Distance : 134 nm Est Flight Time : approx 80 mins Aircraft : Single piston engine aircraft such as Cessna 182 or similar capable of 125 to 155 kias. Communications : Australia uses CTAF (Common Traffic Advisory Frequency) for radio comms at uncontrolled airfields. 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 : Comply with Bankstown CTA then once clear remain below Sydney CTA steps.
