Nicholas N - 1410993 Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 What is Pacific Island Link? Pacific Island Link is a monthly event in which we explore the pacific islands within VATPAC and occasionally within our neighbouring divisions. Each month you can expect to fly routes across Melanesia, Polynesia and on occasion Micronesia. This event for the most part will fall on the first Saturday of each month from 0800z - 1100z and you can expect flight times anywhere from 1.5 hours to 3 hours.

Nicholas N - 1410993 Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 Also see procedures for local and TMA operations if interested courtesy of @Bailey Brown again! 21 minutes ago, Bailey Brown said: Hi, After last weeks very successful Iron Mic at Nouvelle-Calédonie Aéroport de Nouméa - La Tontouta I've decided to chuck up some AIP documents from both Vanuatu and NC. This has some local phraseology included in it as well as some quite cool info which helped us make the environment a lot like the real thing. With the upcoming Pacific Islands event it would the perfect time to put some of this new phraseology to use. As well as this here are some new altimeter procedures that have been introduced into the New Caledonia sector of the Nadi FIR. For reference of the different TMA Numbers and Trans Levels that would apply please check below. La Tontouta & Magenta Aerodromes Island Aerodromes (e.g. Lifou Aerodrome under Noumea TMA) Uncontrolled Airports in Grande Terre (New Caledonia) (e.g. Île des Pins) Happy flying and thanks for all the traffic last week! We hope to see you out in the Pacific Islands soon! AIP_Vanuatu_Effective_23May2019.pdf PAN_Amdt_A_2019_05_AIP.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
