Luke M - 1298912 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 VATPAC invites you to the next Real Operations event featuring Melbourne Tullamarine as the host airport. Fly in or out of Melbourne to a huge selection of locations the aerodrome services on a daily basis. Whether you prefer a quick city hop, a run to the west or a long haul trip starting with or ending with full ATC, this event is for you! What is Real Ops? Real Ops Melbourne is a major event hosted within VATPAC's airspace on the VATSIM Network. This 8-hour event aims to closely replicate and simulate the real schedules of Melbourne Tullamarine Airport. This year we have decided to open a dedicated 8 hours of full time controlling to capture the peak arrivals and departures for Melbourne. Flight slot times are based on a typical weekend schedule offering the most accurate schedule possible. We will provide documentation to help ensure the smooth operations of this event. This document will be released to the public in the final few days before the event. How does it work? To simulate Melbourne's real-world environment, we have carefully laid out slot times for pilots to book. These slot times are replicated from the real world to the best of our ability. A pilot will need to secure their slot before logging onto the network, if a pilot decides to log on to the network without a slot they will need to contact Melbourne Delivery to receive clearance which will be given based on an available slot. If a pilot is inbound from another airport into Melbourne; they will be accommodated secondary to those who have booked slot times. Event Details: Real Ops Melbourne is designed to allow pilots and controllers the ability to receive full ATC service as they transition in and out of the Victoria's largest airport. Fly either domestically or internationally as you hurtle your way to/from Melbourne! The possibilities are endless. Throughout this event, ATC will be tasked with keeping appropriate separations standards whilst pilots move around the TMA and ground, joining the arrival and departure streams. The challenge is to keep Melbourne busy for the entire event! We can only do that with heaps and heaps of pilots! All VATPAC, VATNZ and Visiting Controllers may apply for a position to control at this event, we intend on splitting the 8 hours into 4x2 hour shifts. To apply for ATC please visit the link below. Apply for ATC here! Dependent on the number of ATC Applications will ultimately persuade the number of controller positions that are eventually published and rostered.
