09OCT21 | Panic Stations Perth

[Chris G - 1546444]

This October, VATPAC welcomes you to Perth for the next rendition of the Panic Stations series! Whether you fly into Perth in a Boeing 747 from Melbourne, or a Cessna 172 from Mandurah, it doesn’t matter; all that matters is you make it on time to win the bragging rights! Western Australia awaits this rendition of Panic Stations, with expectations of a fully staffed Perth (YPPH) between 0600z – 1000z (5pm-9pm AEDT).

 

Event Details:

The aim of Panic Stations is  simple; get as many aircraft flying into the destination as possible with one objective. Be the first person to arrive into Perth at or after the arrival time, for your chance to score bragging rights!

Note: pilots must depart from an aerodrome more than 30 Nautical miles from Perth to be eligible to win the panic station award.

There are two touch down times for this event: 0815z & 0900z

We recommend bringing some extra holding fuel as controllers will be busy trying to accommodate the influx of pilots whilst trying to maintain separation standards.

We recommend using the following routes when arriving into Perth from different locations around Australia. These are only a handful of the possible departure points so feel free to depart from any airfield you like.
