    December brings summer weather to the South Pacific, complete with scorching sun, soaring temperatures, and more than a few thunderstorms. For VATSIM's pilots and controllers the answer is obvious: it's time to once again take to the virtual skies and Cross the Ditch! What's it all about? For twenty hours this December, the skies over the Tasman Sea between Australia and New Zealand will be filled with aircraft all on a mission to Cross the Ditch. An example of that typical down-under understatement, this "ditch" is over 1100nm wide. The flight routes all range from two and a half to three and a half hours flight time. Throughout the event, Oceania's two divisions – VATNZ and VATPAC – will be providing full gate-to-gate ATC coverage, in the Southern Hemisphere's premiere oceanic event. This is a great opportunity to experience Oceanic flying without the need to commit to an eight-hour flight! If you're new to Oceanic Flying, our reporting tool makes taking part a breeze. Event Times This twenty hour event is timed to allow pilots from all over the world to join the fun: UTC: Saturday 3rd December 2022 17:00 - Sunday 4th December 2022 13:00 AEDT: Sunday 4th December 2022 04:00 - Monday 5th December 2022 00:00 NZDT: Sunday 4th December 2022 06:00 - Monday 5th December 2022 02:00 Waves This season's event is organised in waves. Each airport will have a three-to-four-and-a-half hour departure window, during which time flights will be able to leave for the next destination. As the window closes, the departure window will open at the next destination. Given each of the flights is 3 - 4.5hrs in length, the previous wave's flights will be arriving at the same airport as the next wave departs, maximising the amount of traffic at each airport. NOTE: in order to ensure that you have ATC coverage throughout your flight, you MUST fly the wave route that is active at the time of your departure. The individual routes are designed to ensure as much opposing traffic enroute as possible. Each flight passes from one Oceania division to the other, and the result is six mini-flyins over the course of twenty hours! The Waves for Cross the Ditch 23: Summer 2022 are: Wave Flight Departure Window UTC AEDT NZDT 1 Wellington, New Zealand (NZWN) to Brisbane, Australia (YBBN) 1700-2000 0400-0700 0600-0900 2 Brisbane, Australia (YBBN) to Dunedin, New Zealand (NZDN) 2000-2330 0700-1030 0900-1230 2a Brisbane, Australia (YBBN) to Christchurch, New Zealand (NZCH) (Large Aircraft Alternate) 2000-2330 0700-1030 0900-1230 3 Dunedin, New Zealand (NZDN) to Canberra, Australia (YSCB) 2330-0300 1030-1400 1230-1600 3a Christchurch, New Zealand (NZCH) to Canberra, Australia (YSCB) (Large Aircraft Alternate) 2330-0300 1030-1400 1230-1600 4 Canberra, Australia (YSCB) to Christchurch, New Zealand (NZCH) 0230-0630 1330-1730 1530-1930 5 Christchurch, New Zealand (NZCH) to Newcastle, Australia (YWLM) 0530-0930 1630-2030 1830-2230 Calling all Pilots and Controllers Flight plans are available from the Flight Plans section.

    Good Evening Everyone, It is with a heavy heart that I address the community today to announce that Tyler H has resigned from his VATPAC Staff positions with immediate effect. Tyler has been a member of the Events Department as an Event Coordinator, and a member of the Air Training Services Department as an Instructor and Operations Advisor for over 18 months. Tyler has devoted significant portions of his own time to ensure that the community recieves the highest quality training and events possible. A massive debt can be owed to Tyler for the running of Spilled Milk Run rostering last year, and the coordination of a large number of Major Events during his time as staff. Tyler was also at the forefront for assisting a large number of students progress through the mentoring stages for their controller ratings. On behalf of the VATPAC Board, Senior Staff Team and Community, we thank you for all that you have done, and wish you luck on your future endeavours!
