    Welcome to the next rendition from the Light Up series, Light Up Pacific! It is time to pull out those regional aircraft or commercial airliners and explore the 'PAC' in 'VATPAC'. Join us as we attempt to provide the most realistic ATC services for you as you travel to the many stunning destinations that Pacific islands have to offer. From the harbour city of Port Moresby to the islands of Fiji, the Pacific Islands are a spectacle of natural wonder! We have adapted our popular Light Up series to cater for the VATSIM 20th Birthday Celebration month! We look forward to welcoming the entire VATSIM Network to the often-forgotten Pacific Islands within Australian Airspace! What is Light Up Pacific? 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 Australia and neighbouring islands. So 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. You will receive an Outside Control Airspace Service at most of our airfields from the overlying ENR Controller during this event. Pilots can expect the following service types depending on the class of Airspace. Different to our normal Light Up series, Oceanic Control services will also be provided to aircraft flying between the nominated fields. Take a look at this Oceanic Tutorial to learn more before you fly! Suggested Major Routes: The Pacific islands have 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! Port Villa Based Routes: NVVV-NFFN: BISUN B598 BEGIT NVVV-NWWW: LEDIT B590 NIPOG Noumea Based Routes: NWWW-NVVV: LTO B590 LEDIT NWWW-NFFN: LTO B599 AGUTA Fiji Based Routes: NFFN-NWWW: CHARLI NN B599 MESUS NFFN-NVVV: ALPHA NN B598 VLI Additionally, there are many, many smaller airfields between which you could fly too! VFR and IFR Aircraft alike are welcome! ATC: Controllers interested in controlling the event are encouraged to submit their ATC Applications here - The controller roster will be released on the 18th of August. Non-standard positions will be rostered depending on the number of ATC Applications received. A non-standard position is denoted with an (*) beside the callsign.

    Welcome to one of VATPAC's rare event types! A "return" event allows our pilots to fly two sectors, between two relatively close airfields! In this rendition, we will be flying out of Darwin to Denpasar and back, between the hours of 0800z to 1400z on the 28th of August 2021. This will allow pilots to get a feel of flying a return flight while testing our controllers' skills with two flows of traffic! Departure Information Departures out of Darwin will be expected to fly the JULIE5 departure off of the chosen runway at Darwin, departing at roughly 0800z. Alternatively, pilots may request the DN5 departure, however this should only be used if absolutely necessary. Pilots are advised that extra fuel may be required for both ground and air holding. Departures out of Denpasar will be expected to fly the ANGSA3A departure off of the chosen runway. Pilots may also request radar vectors, should they require them, for operational purposes. Again, pilots are advised that extra fuel may be required for both ground and air holding. Routes VATPAC recommends the following routes for this event: YPDN > WADD: JULIE UQ320 VIROB UQ200 KILIK A458 KPG W33 GOMAT ANGSA WADD > YPDN: ANGSA GOMAT W33 KPG A458 KILIK UY85 CURLY UY91 DONYA ATC Information Any controllers interested in providing ATC services during this event are encouraged to apply here. Applications will be open until Monday the 25th of August, on which the roster will be released for public viewing. Non-Standard positions are denoted with an (*) beside the callsign and will only be opened if sufficient controller applications are received. Please see a member of the Board of Directors, or a C3 rated controller to be granted permission to open a non-standard position on the day.

  12. 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.

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 for detailed information about which Non-Standard Positions are automatically authorized.
