Cameron W - 1411415 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Today we are introducing you to one of VATPAC's newest events - East Coast Connect! Whether you like to fly IFR in a commercial jet or small turboprop, or VFR in a smaller private aircraft, this is the event for you. Enjoy the beautiful scenery that NSW and the Gold Coast offer within your simulators! What is East Coast Connect? East Coast Connect is a new event that offers two different types of events every four weeks. Running every second Saturday, the first round is a connection between Brisbane, Sydney and the Gold Coast. In the second round, we connect Brisbane & Cairns! Pilots can expect ATC to be online between the nominated airfields from 0800z - 1200z! ATC can expect to apply their sequencing skills in order to generate a pleasant flow of traffic between the nominated airfields. Routes: We recommend the following routes for you to fly during this event; however, you are more than welcome to fly to different aerodromes within the coverage area!

Positions that are not rostered (i.e. no controller assigned on the position) will remain free for all controllers available on the day to control. Controllers who wish to reserve a position to control during this event are encouraged to apply via https://events.vatpac.org/. After the controller roster is released on Wednesday evening, no controllers will be added to the roster.
