Tyler H - 1443158 Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 VATUSA, in partnership with VATPAC, invites you to Friday Night Ops: Downunder! Join us as we light up the Australian Skies between Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide on Friday the 28th of July (Saturday Morning Downunder).Event Details: Friday Night Ops is a weekly event run by VATUSA; normally visiting places around the USA. This time around, Friday Night Ops is coming to the land Downunder within the famous ‘J-Curve’. Briefing Video: Take a look at our small briefing video for our US friends! Flight Planning: In Australia, flight plans are filed in the ICAO format. SIDs and STARs are not included in the flight plan. This will be provided by the Clearance Delivery controller and with the Centre controller prior to top of descent. Pre-Departure Clearances (PDCs) are used in Australia. Pilots are required to readback PDCs to the delivery controller. However, when reading back the PDC you do not need to read back everything. Just the SQUAWK, DEPARTURE PROCEDURE, RUNWAY and BAY. [PILOT] “Melbourne Delivery, Qantas 436 with PDC Readback.” [ML_DEL] “Qantas 436, Melbourne Delivery, go ahead with PDC readback” [PILOT] “Qantas 436 is cleared to Sydney, DOSEL1 departure, runway 27, squawk 4457, bay C3” [ML_DEL] “Qantas 436” OR “Qantas 436 contact ground 121.7 for push” If you do not receive a PDC, you can request airways clearance with the Delivery Controller. However you are required to readback the entire voice clearance.
