Harrison S - 1305567 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) NOTAM - AIRAC 2005 and the Marshall Islands 1. INTRODUCTION The VATPAC sector file updates are normally issued by the Operations Department every 3 months. However, VATPAC has decided to implement three standard controller positions within the Marshall Islands. Procedural tower profiles have also been updated. Hence, the issuance of AIRAC 2005. It also serves as the initial release for the VATPAC Controller Client Updater. I invite you all to utilise this great piece of software which will ensure that your information is always up to date. To find out how the updater works and how to utilise it, follow the link to the post below. The authority to control the Marshall Islands is designated to the Oceania Region under section 3.03 (B) of the VATSIM Code of Regulations. This new AIRAC affects only those users who utilise the ES Package procedural tower profiles and those who wish to control the Marshall Islands. I'd like to thank Sean Harrison and Peter Story for their efforts in compiling the required information to introduce the standard controller positions. 2.
