    VATPAC invites you to a Real Operations event featuring Sydney as the host airport. Fly into or out of Sydney inbound many of the locations the aerodrome services on a daily basis. Whether you prefer a 1 hour hop with multiple sectors, or a long hall either starting or ending with full ATC, this event is for you! What is real ops? Sydney Real Ops is a major event hosted within VATPAC's airspace on the VATSIM Network. The aim of this 8 hour event is to closely replicate and simulate the real schedules of Sydney airport. Given the unprecedented circumstances that surround us, Sydney Airport's traffic levels have significantly decreased, however we have been able to secure schedules prior to COVID-19. This year we have decided to open and dedicated 8 hours of full time controlling to capture the peak arrivals and departures for Sydney, we have based these slot times on a typical weekday schedule. This year we have been blessed with the knowledge from some of our community members on how YSSY operates both on paper and in practice. With this knowledge we are able to create a simulated environment that almost mimics real world operations. How does it work? To simulate Sydney's real world environment we have carefully laid out slot times for Pilots to book, these slot times are replicated to the best of our ability given the current set of circumstances. A pilot will need to secure their slot prior to logging onto the network, if a Pilot decides to logon to the network without a slot they will need to contact Sydney Coordinator to secure a spare slot, if a pilot is inbound from another Airport into Sydney you will receive slot information from the Flow Controller. Event Details: Real Ops Sydney is designed to allow pilots and controllers the ability to receive full ATC service as they transition in and out of the busiest airport in the country. Fly either domestically or internationally as you hurtle your way to/from the airport! The possibilities are endless. Throughout this event, ATC will be tasked at keeping appropriate separations standards whilst pilots move about the TMA and ground joining the arrival and departure streams. The challenge is to keep Sydney busy for the entire event! and we can only do that with heaps and heaps of pilots! All VATPAC, VATNZ and Visiting Controllers may apply for a position to control at this event, we intend on splitting the 8 hours into 2-3 shifts depending on the traffic load and ATC applications. To apply for ATC please visit the link below. Apply for ATC here! Dependent on the number of ATC Applications will ultimately persuade the number of controller positions that are eventually published and rostered. Positions that are planned to be rostered are below.

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.

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?

For this event we have rostered ATC to fully staff Cairns, however we strongly encourage those who don't have a position and would still like to control to log onto a vacant position during the event! Remember we are focusing on routes from Cairns to destinations like Port Moresby, Brisbane and Townsville! Thank you for everyone who applied and the events team hopes to see you all there Saturday!

    Ladies and Gentleman! The Events Team is proud to present the latest major event for this year, TMA Turnaround Cairns! What is TMA Turnaround you may ask? Well, We love having competitions featured in our events to keep everyone participating for as long as possible. With this in mind, The aim will be to fly as many legs between the nominated airports as possible, in the 4 hour period. We will have tracking in place using VATSIM Statistics. It requires that you fly from Gate to Gate, Shutting down your engines prior to commencing the next sector. The Details The aim is for all aircraft of any type to make as many inbound / outbound trips to YBCS in the 4 hours allocated. We want to smash the TMA with as many aircraft as we can and put our controllers to the test. Expect Delays so plan additional holding fuel and hopefully we wont have any fuel emergencies! We have planned routes for pilots to ensure traffic will be able to transition easily between the selected airports. Please see the below routes for the flight.
