    It is with great sadness that I address the community today to inform that Cameron Wilbraham has handed in his resignation for the position of Events Manager within the VATPAC Events Department. Cameron has been an integral part of the Events Department over the past 16 months since his appointment to the role of coordinator. Shortly after, Cam took on the role as the second-in-chief for the Events Department, and has successfully assisted in running countless regular, major and one off events over the past 14 months. Amongst Cams list of achievements was his admiration, commitment and dedication to his role within the Events Department. He was always approachable for all the staff, and took the reigns whenever necessary! From the bottom of my heart, and the entire VATPAC Community. Thank you for your service to VATPAC Cam. You will have your place in the books here as a special member of the VATPAC Events Team, and we look forward to seeing you into the future. Cameron will remain in his role as Events Manager until a suitable replacement is found. Applications for the position of Events Manager will be opened to the public shortly, and all interested applicants are encouraged to submit their interest. Thank you,

    For those of you who applied for WorldFlight Departure, thank you for your patience whilst site issues occurred throughout the day. Unfortunately these issues have not yet been resolved, which is currently making it impossible to publish the WF roster for everyone to review via the site (The issue is still unknown at this stage.) Please find below the photos of the WorldFlight Roster as of 1030z on the 5th of November 2021. The times below are in AEST, so you will need to do some calculations if you are on a different timezone, being: + 60 minutes = AEDT - 30 minutes = ACST - 120 minutes = AWST In addition, please also find the WorldFlight Departure Controller Briefing here (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-Yib5N7cl859KsicdcJfhbBXxSQ-OYho/view?usp=sharing) – It is expected that all controllers who control during WorldFlight read, and follow this briefing unless otherwise instructed. Please take note of aerodrome Briefing times which any ADC/TCU controller must attend if controlling at that location. ```Sydney TCU Controllers (2000-0100z)``` Thank you all ```Cairns TCU Controllers (2200-0400z)``` ```Darwin TCU Controllers (0300-0700z)``` ```ENR Part One (2000-0259z)``` ```ENR Part Two (0300-1000z)```

    Just some positive feedback to say big thanks to SY_APP (Sam K) for the visual approach into 34L tonight. Sam PM'd me to clarify something about the vis approach and I didn't have time to respond before he logged off. I'm super rusty with my procedures after a few years away from flying so I appreciate feedback from the controllers, especially when they clearly know their stuff. Well done Mr Keast!

Aircraft who conduct a go-around will not be considered the winner; Touch down times will be assessed based on the controller client display showing the aircraft to have arrived on the active runway, with an altitude equal to the airport elevation and a groundspeed suggesting that aircraft has landed; The pilot departed from an airport which was different from the target airport. The pilot is not a VATPAC Director and is not involved in the assessment process for awards; Winners will be assessed by the active event coordinators during the event. Disputes regarding the decision of awards should be directed to the VATPAC Division Director. Video Evidence will be available for the Division Director to adequately respond to any disputes. Thank you, and may the best pilot win!

    Good Morning Everyone, With lockdowns around Australia continuing to remain in force, VATPAC has seen an increase in the number of Controllers and Pilots during Milk Run Monday. This has resulted in a higher level of traffic, and longer delays throughout the event. In order to increase the smooth running of this event. VATPAC is trialing the introduction of the to the following during all Milk Run Monday events. VATPAC Event Coordinators will be active to assist in the smooth running of the event and ensuring ATC services remain online. You can see any coordinator during these events in the Member List on the VATPAC Discord who have the @eventcoordinator role. Coordinators may also be logged on with the VATPAC35 callsign. Non-Standard positions will be activated in accordance with the Controller Positions and Ratings Policy. We will be looking to open more Non-Standards than in the past to decrease controller workload, and increase efficiency during Milk Run events. This trial will be active during September and October of 2021.
