    Circumnavigation of Australia - Stage 95 Simulation Date/Time: Current date set to daylight. Weather: Real World / Fair weather if real world is unsuitable for VFR operations. If not using live weather, please be mindful of others who are using live weather and will be taking off and landing into the wind. Distance: 146 nm Est Flight Time: Approx 75 min Aircraft: Cessna 172 or similar aircraft capable of 120 kias. Altitude: Remain in Class G airspace outside Coffs Harbour CTR and Tamworth CTR. See waypoint notes below. Flight plan File as: YCFS SWTE BDH URU BLIG DRO YBLI YWMM YARM BND KOT NEM YSTW GPS flight plan is available for FSX/P3D .pln, MFS2020 .pln, X-Plane .fms and Little Navmap. Navigation: Pilots are encouraged to navigate visually. For those less familiar the GPS flight plan is the recommended method of navigation. Communications Australia uses CTAF (Common Traffic Advisory Frequency) for radio comms at uncontrolled airfields. During an event, Pilots are requested to broadcast intentions on the published CTAF. Pilots should also be aware that it is a VATSIM CoC (Code of Conduct) requirement that all pilots at uncontrolled airfields should monitor UNICOM on 122.800. Pilots should ensure that at least one of their radios (COM 2 being the most likely) is tuned to receive UNICOM transmissions in addition to transmitting and receiving on the published CTAF. Pilots also should read this post regarding the implications of using VATSIM UNICOM for CTAF. It provides some insight into potential pitfalls for the unwary when monitoring 122.80 in a CTAF environment. Scenery Due to the plethora of simulation platforms now being used, scenery is left to the discretion of each pilot. Updated X-Plane scenery is available for Tamworth and for other airports (this includes Woolomombi which is not in default X-Plane).

    Welcome to the next installment of Newbie Night. This event offers the chance for inexperienced members to take to the virtual skies and for experienced controllers and pilots to offer their expertise. Whether you are completely new to flight simulation or have been flying for years and never connected to VATSIM, it will be the night for you with plenty of people available to help on the VATPAC Discord. To Join the Discord visit this link. This event is for: - Newbie pilots who want to learn and gain confidence flying with live ATC. - Experienced controllers who are patient and willing to teach. - Experienced pilots who are patient and willing to share knowledge. This Week Fly between Coffs Harbour (YCFS) to Sydney (YSSY) to experience class C and D airspace as well as enroute airspace. The flight will depart around 0700z (1800 AEDT) with ATC requested/available until around 1100z (2200 AEDT). An example of procedures from a Class D airport in a non-radar environment to a Class C primary airport in a radar environment can be found here: https://forums.vatpac.org/pilots/tutorials/ifr-albury-to-melbourne/ Routes The following routes are recommended to fly from Coffs Harbour to Sydney based on real world operations. Jet aircraft: DCT CFS J70 CORKY H12 BOREE (Coffs Harbour is suitable for jets up to B738/A321 size) Non-jet aircraft: DCT CFS W214 OLTIN W180 TESAT ATC Positions Name Login Identifier Radio Callsign Frequency Coffs Harbour Tower CFS_TWR Coffs Tower 118.200 Brisbane Centre (Downs) BN-DOS_CTR Brisbane Centre 135.600 Brisbane Centre (Mudgee) BN-MDE_CTR Brisbane Centre 133.000 Sydney Approach North SY_APP Sydney Approach 124.400 Sydney Tower SY_TWR Sydney Tower 120.550 Sydney SMC SY_GND Sydney Ground 126.500 Charts Airservices Australia charts: https://www.airservicesaustralia.com/aip/current/dap/AeroProcChartsTOC.htm Scenery Due to the many simulation platforms now in use, scenery is at the discretion of the pilot. NOTE: if you are running any simulator based on Microsoft's Flight Simulator X platform, due to the older navigation database Coffs may be known as YSCH rather than YCFS. This is its old ICAO code.

    Event Details Simulation Date/Time : Current date set to daylight. Weather : Real World / Fair weather if real world is unsuitable for VFR operations. Distance : 173 nm Est Flight Time : approx 80 mins Aircraft : Single or twin engine aircraft such as DeHavilland Twin Otter, Mooney Bravo or similar capable of 145 to 165 kias. Altitude : Upto A9500 Flightplan File as : YARM YWCH YKMP YBLI DRO MOB YCFS GPS Flightplan is available for FSX, P3D, FS2020 as a 'pln' file and X-Plane as an 'fms' file. The original Plan-G flightplan is also included for those that find this useful. These are all enclosed within a Zip archive. Navigation : Pilots familiar with the area can navigate visually, for those less familiar the accompanying GPS Flightplan is the recommended method of navigating the flight plan. Communications Australia uses CTAF (Common Traffic Advisory Frequency) for radio comms at uncontrolled airfields. Now that VATSIM has introduced AFV (Audio For VATSIM) CTAF can now be used across all VATSIM approved pilot clients. Pilots are requested to tune to the published frequency as detailed in the flight details for an event when operating in or around an aerodome to make and monitor CTAF broadcasts. Pilots should also be aware that it is a VATSIM COC (Code of Conduct) requirement that all pilots at uncontrolled airfields should monitor Unicom (Australia 122.80). It is highly recommended that pilots ensure that at least one of their "on board" COM radios (COM 2 being the most likely) is tuned to receive unicom transmissions in addition to transmitting and receiving on the published CTAF frequency. Please Note. All pilots should also be vigilant regarding the receipt of text on both unicom and CTAF. If it is discovered there is a pilot participating that is unable to receive voice transmissions, pilots should arrange to also broadcast via text to ensure those pilots without the benefit of voice is able to receive appropriate broadcasts. VATSIM provides an update guide for getting AFV working on each of the approved pilot clients. Pilots also should read this post regarding the implications of using VATSIM UNICOM for CTAF. It provides some insight into potential pitfalls for the unwary when monitoring 122.80 in a CTAF environment.

This code has subsequently been redesignated as YCFS and it is this that should be used when referencing Coffs Harbour airport in flightplans. X-Plane also utilises this ICAO in preference to YSCH. Simmers will need to use the appropriate code when locating and spawning at the airport in their respective simulators. It should also be noted that the ICAO identifier for Coffs Harbour VOR/DME underwent a similar change from CH to CFS. The frequency is 117.0 in both instances. To confuse matters, the Coffs Harbour NDB stills uses designation CH and frequency 311.

The original Plan-G flightplan is also included for those that find this useful. These are all enclosed within a Zip archive. Navigation : Pilots familiar with the area can navigate visually, for those less familiar the accompanying GPS Flightplan is the recommended method of navigating the flight plan. Communications Australia uses CTAF (Common Traffic Advisory Frequency) for radio comms at uncontrolled airfields. Now that VATSIM has introduced AFV (Audio For VATSIM) CTAF can now be used across all VATSIM approved pilot clients. Pilots are requested to tune to the published frequency as detailed in the flight details for an event when operating in or around an aerodome to make and monitor CTAF broadcasts. Pilots should also be aware that it is a VATSIM COC (Code of Conduct) requirement that all pilots at uncontrolled airfields should monitor Unicom (Australia 122.80). It is highly recommended that pilots ensure that at least one of their "on board" COM radios (COM 2 being the most likely) is tuned to receive unicom transmissions in addition to transmitting and receiving on the published CTAF frequency. Please Note. All pilots should also be vigilant regarding the receipt of text on both unicom and CTAF. If it is discovered there is a pilot participating that is unable to receive voice transmissions, pilots should arrange to also broadcast via text to ensure those pilots without the benefit of voice is able to receive appropriate broadcasts. VATSIM provides an update guide for getting AFV working on each of the approved pilot clients. Pilots also should read this post regarding the implications of using VATSIM UNICOM for CTAF.
