Harrison S - 1305567

Hi Everyone, VATPAC IT is proud to present the latest edition of ATC Assist. It has a more user friendly design with a reliable backend that will provide accurate SID's and STAR's. It also features a Route Finder, Chart Search and a metar tool. ATC Assist has also moved from assist.vatpac.org to atc.vatpac.org. This is part of an ongoing plan which will also see the return of a dedicated pilot assist tool. I would like to thank Jacob Holmes especially for his efforts with this application. If anyone has any recommendations or errors with the application, I invite you to submit a feedback form or email me directly at [email protected]. Enjoy!

Please join me in congratulating Jacob Holmes on his appointment to the position of VATPAC Deputy Director IT. Jacob has been working in the IT department since November 2016 alongside myself. He has contributed to the department greatly over his time, especially with the upcoming ATC Assist. Jacob joins us from his position of Deputy Director ATC Training where he has proven himself as a responsible and mature staff member. Daniel and the Board wishes to thank Jacob for his efforts in the position of Deputy Director ATC Training and wish him all the best for his new position.
