    Event Details Simulation Date/Time : Current date set to daylight. Weather : Real World / Fair weather if real world is unsuitable for VFR operations. Distance : 196 nm Est Flight Time : approx 75 mins Aircraft : Single or twin engine aircraft such as Beechcraft Baron, Mooney Bravo or similar capable of 155 to 185 kias. Communications : Australia uses CTAF (Common Traffic Advisory Frequency) for radio comms at uncontrolled airfields. VATSIM pilots connecting to the network using FSCOPILOT/FSINN can install an additional file that provides the ability to tune the CTAF frequency and make voice announcements to other pilots on frequency. These files can be obtained via this link. For pilots connecting to VATSIM using VPilot, there is a work around that enables these pilots to also take advantage of online voice CTAF. Refer to this informative VATPAC Forum post to learn how to implement the work around. Similarly, this work around has been reported to be successfully adopted for X-Plane using the X-Squawkbox client. As of yet there are no available instructions for doing this.

    Event Details Last month VFR Operations visited French New Caledonia, this week VFR Operations flies in the exotic South Pacific location of French Polynesia. This pair of flights flies between the airports of Faa'a and Maupiti visiting many of the airports located on the diverse spread of islands making up the region. Simulation Date/Time : Current date set to daylight. Weather : Real World / Fair weather if real world is unsuitable for VFR operations. Distance : 185 nm Est Flight Time : approx 85 mins Aircraft : Single or twin engine aircraft such as Pilatus PC-12, Beechcraft King Air or similar capable of 175 to 210 kias. Communications : Tahiti uses standard unicom for radio comms at uncontrolled airfields. VATSIM pilots connecting to the network using FSCOPILOT/FSINN can install an additional file that provides the ability to tune the CTAF frequency and make voice announcements to other pilots on frequency. These files can be obtained via this link. For pilots connecting to VATSIM using VPilot, there is a work around that enables these pilots to also take advantage of online voice CTAF.

    Event Details Simulation Date/Time : Current date set to daylight. Weather : Real World / Fair weather if real world is unsuitable for VFR operations. Distance : 167 nm Est Flight Time : approx 75 mins Aircraft : Single or twin engine aircraft such as Beechcraft Baron, Mooney Bravo or similar capable of 155 to 185 kias. Communications : Australia uses CTAF (Common Traffic Advisory Frequency) for radio comms at uncontrolled airfields. VATSIM pilots connecting to the network using FSCOPILOT/FSINN can install an additional file that provides the ability to tune the CTAF frequency and make voice announcements to other pilots on frequency.

    Event Details Flight created by Russell Diehl This week we from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean via the Panama canal. There is a link to some accompanying scenery enhancements for the flight if so desired. This represents a slow short flight and is an opportunity to undertake the flight in a slow recreational/sports aircraft. Simulation Date/Time : Current date set to daylight. Weather : Real World / Fair weather if real world is unsuitable for VFR operations. Distance : 76 nm Est Flight Time : approx 80 mins Aircraft : A light recreational sport such as J-3 Piper Cub, A-22 Foxbat or similar incapable of exceeding 100 knots. Alternatively a helicopter such as the Robison R22 can be used to add flexibility Communications : Unicom "rw1.vatpac.org/UNICOM_MPZL" for the Panama Region. VATSIM pilots connecting to the network using FSCOPILOT/FSINN can install an additional file that provides the ability to tune the CTAF frequency and make voice announcements to other pilots on frequency. These files can be obtained via this link. For pilots connecting to VATSIM using VPilot, there is a work around that enables these pilots to also take advantage of online voice CTAF.
