14MAY23 | Panic Stations Canberra

[Pepijn C - 1567335]

This May, VATPAC invites you to Canberra for the next edition of Panic Stations! Whether you do a short hop from Sydney or a long haul from San Francisco, make sure you arrive on time to win exclusive prizes (and bragging rights of course)! VATPAC controllers eagerly await your arrival at a fully staffed Canberra (YSCB) between 0700z and 1100z.

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 Canberra at or after one of the arrival times, for your chance to score bragging rights and win a prize!

The touchdown times are as follows: 0830z and 1000z

Note: Pilots must depart from an aerodrome more than 30 nautical miles from Canberra to be eligible to win any prizes.

We recommend you bring some extra fuel as controllers will be busy trying to accommodate the vast amount of pilots while maintaining separation standards.

Prize Details

This edition, VATPAC has partnered with Impulse Simulations to provide winning pilots with a special prize! You can find Impulse Simulations on Instagram and Facebook.

For Pilots: There is one prize available per touchdown time for pilots; one for 0830z and another for 1000z. Make sure to turn around quickly if you miss the first prize to earn the second one!

0830z: Impulse Simulations YSCB and a product of your choice from Impulse Simulations
1000z: Impulse Simulations YSCB

For Controllers: All participating controllers, who control for at least one hour during the event, will got into a draw to win a $10 discount on any Impulse Simulations product!
