The resource industry sees hundreds of flights a week across Western Australia by Alliance, Cobham, Qantas, QantasLink, Skippers, Virgin Australia and Rex. With some amazing scenery for airports across the entire state, why not get involved and check some of them out! Routes We recommend using the Airservices Route Guide to ensure you're using an acceptable route.

    Welcome to the latest VATPAC Iron Mic attempt featuring Melbourne. Help us celebrate the 10 year anniversary of Milk Run Monday with our week of events, including an Iron Mic attempt! The following positions will be the primary positions: ML_TWR ML_APP ML-SNO_CTR To give us the best chance possible, please logon to the above positions at Melbourne prior to occupying others. We will be trialling a reservation system where you'll be able to allocate your availability for a position in two hour blocks. If there isn't anyone online however, please jump on! 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? Click on this link (http://fsmine.dhis.org/stats/showstats.cgi) to view all the VATSIM ATC stats for the week. Remember, Our aim is to keep the TWR, APP and CTR positions open as much as possible. Coordinate with other controllers to ensure maximum coverage of the Melbourne positions. You can do this via Facebook, Discord and the forums. VATSIM has set out a few rules regarding Iron Mic which can be viewed here https://forums.vatsim.net/topic/2299-the-rules/ If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

    By far the most popular of our regular weekly events, on any given Milk Run Monday you'll find the famous "J-Curve" between Melbourne and Sydney well serviced by both pilots and ATC. Not to be confused with our Spilled Milk Run Monday events, details of which can be found on the Spilled Milk Run page, the Milk Run invites you to fly in any direction between Sydney and Melbourne and all destinations in between (Canberra, Albury etc). Prefer to control? We recommend getting in early. ATC positions on Milk Run Monday are often scarce so definitely worth being an early bird. Traffic levels traditionally start to pick up at around 7:30pm AEST / AEDT and generally peak between 8:30pm and 9:30pm AEST / AEDT. Route YMML-YSSY: ML H129 DOSEL Y59 TESAT YSSY-YMML: TESAT H65 RAZZI Q29 ML ATC As the trial for rostering MRM has concluded, we encourage ATC to open the following positions to provide ATC Services to pilots!

    Winter has returned to the Southern Hemisphere, and even as the nations of the South Pacific begin their recovery, the region's skies are eerily quiet. But on VATSIM, pilots from around the world will once again pack Oceania's skies as they continue their mission to Cross the Ditch! Check out the official Cross the Ditch website Apply to provide ATC Book your Flights now! View the Event Schedule Check out the Virtual Airline Leaderboard Grab the recommended add-on scenery for each of the event airports What's it all about? For twenty hours this June, 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 three to four-and-a-half hours flight time. Throughout the event, the Oceania region's two divisions – VATNZ and VATPAC – will be providing full 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 join the fun: UTC: Saturday 20th June 2020 18:00 - Sunday 21st June 2020 14:00 AEST: Sunday 21st June 2020 04:00 - Monday 22nd June 2020 00:00 NZST: Sunday 21st June 2020 06:00 - Monday 22nd June 2020 02:00 Waves This season's event is organised in waves. Each airport will have a two-to-four 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 2 - 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 18 - Winter 2020 are: Wave Flight Departure Window UTC AEST NZST 1 Auckland, New Zealand (NZAA) to Port Vila, Vanuatu (NVVV) 1800-2000 0400-0600 0600-0800 2 Port Vila, Vanuatu (NVVV) to Hamilton, New Zealand (NZHN) 2000-2330 0600-0930 0800-1130 3 Hamilton, New Zealand (NZHN) to Hobart, Australia (YMHB) 2300-0300 0900-1300 1100-1500 4 Hobart, Australia (YMHB) to Christchurch, New Zealand (NZCH) 0300-0700 1300-1700 1500-1900 5 Christchurch, New Zealand (NZCH) to Adelaide, Australia (YPAD) 0530-0930 1530-1930 1730-2130 Calling all Pilots and Controllers Flight plans are available from the Flight Plans section.

Controllers wanting to get in on the action can also apply now at the event's ATC Applications page.

    Sorry for the last minute notice however, we recently received a request to run some ATC for a planned newbie night for some old and new VATPAC members. These experienced real world aviators are ready to take to the Virtual skies with ATC after conducting plenty of offline flying. We thought it was a great idea and want to invite everyone who is willing to share their knowledge or who wants to learn! Whether you've been flying for years or never connected, it'll be the night for you with plenty of people available to help on the VATPAC Discord. The Requirements: - ATC who are willing to teach and have patience - Pilots who are also patient but would love to share knowledge or learn something knew This Week This week, fly from Hobart to Adelaide and experience Class D Procedural airspace, enroute and Class C arrival airspace. The flight will depart around 1900 AEST with ATC requested/available from around 1830 AEST. An example of departing a Class D Procedural aerodrome with a TWR is located here https://vatpac.org/pilots/tutorials/ifr-albury-to-melbourne/ Routes VATPAC recommends the following routes to fly from Hobart to Adelaide.

  18. It's last minute but with such a fast changing real world environment, we need to move quickly to keep up! Welcome back to VATPAC's newest event series, Friday Night Live! We're bringing you some Friday Night Entertainment that the pubs and clubs can't! Visit a new location or perhaps an old favourite, the possibilities are endless. This Week In case you weren't available for the Panic Stations Fix, this week we're moving up the coast to sunny Bris-Vegas where we have just had major changes to the airspace. Where before the airspace was somewhat of a sensible, well-laid out airspace; we are left with what is literally a birds-nest of SIDs and STARs. Bring along your new Navigraph AIRAC to explore the changes. If you don't have one, you can get a Navigraph subscription here https://navigraph.com/SubscriptionOptions.aspx (FMS Data, Charts or both are available via subscriptions). Please note ATC will not be assigning runway 19R/01L unless requested. This is due to the lack of updated scenery in some simulators and the fact the runway isn't open yet. We also are highly encouraging anybody who would like to come and fly VFR in Class D (Archerfield – YBAF, and Sunshine Coast – YBSU), Class G (note the new airspace lower limits), or even Class C (fancy some city orbits?). Again, VATPAC staff will be present to answer any questions you might have. Routes VATPAC recommends the following routes to fly into Brisbane or the Gold Coast. These are only some of the possible departure points you could do - Scenery for these recommended routes can be found below.
