Welcome to the next installment of Newbie Night. This event offers the chance for inexperienced members to join experienced aviators and controllers and take to the virtual skies. Whether you're completely new to flight simulation or you've been flying for years but never connected to the VATSIM network, this is the night for you with plenty of people available to help on the VATPAC Discord. To Join the Discord visit this link. Event Details: Fly between Adelaide (YPAD) and Melbourne (YMML) in either direction to experience Class C and enroute airspace, with a bit of time to relax in cruise and enjoy the scenery. This flight is for: Newbie pilots who want to learn and gain confidence flying on the VATSIM network with live ATC. Experienced controllers who are patient and willing to help newbie pilots on the network. Experienced pilots who are patient and willing to assist newbie pilots through the VATPAC Discord. Flights will depart from 0800z (1800 AEST) with ATC requested/available until around 1200z (2200 AEST). We recommend planning to depart before 1030z (2030 AEST) to complete your flight with full ATC. Tutorials: This site has tutorials (see Help > Tutorials in the menu) which give an overview of flight and ATC procedures. An example of procedures between Class C airports in a radar environment can be found here: https://vatpac.org/help/pilot-tutorials/ifr-melbourne-to-sydney/ Routes: We recommend using the following routes which are suitable for a jet such as an Airbus A320, Boeing 737, regional jet or business jet, or a turboprop such as a Dash-8, ATR72, Saab 340 or King Air.

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.
