Our first event group will be taking place in one hour! At 21:00z, virtual pilots will be filling the West Coast of America flying between both San Francisco (KSFO) and San Diego (KSAN). The event is due to last for 4 hours (until 0100z Sunday 25th Feb) and we’re expecting a huge turnout!

Traffic Flow:
We are expecting a large number of pilots to take part in the event tonight. As a result, there will be some pilot patience required. Please be mindful of others and appreciate that the work load for the controllers will be quite high. You are reminded to take a LOT of fuel with you, especially if you’re heading to San Diego. The airport can only handle between 20-25 arrivals per hour meaning you may be placed in the hold. It should also be noted that emergencies will probably not be allowed by the controllers – but that will be at their discretion as always.
Call Signs:
As only a limited number of airlines fly this route, your call sign may not be available. If you want some help, we suggest you use your airline and then your birthday to formulate a call sign. E.g. your birthday is Jan 16, you may use SWA116

PRIZES
We are pleased to offer 3 people the chance to win a product of their choice from Orbx. The winners will be decided in 3 different ways (1 prize per type).
Prize 1: Smoothest landing rate! We’ll need you to email details to us with a projectFly link for us to validate everything.
Prize 2: We will be letting the fantastic controllers on VATSIM pick them most professional, fun and courteous pilot who partakes in the event. So this is a great motivator for you to be the best of the best.
Prize 3: We are going to offer this prize to one of the controllers who help made this event happen. They deserve some recognition after all!
In order to help facilitate aircraft smoothly between both airports, I’ve promised to provide an estimate of how many pilots to expect to the participating ARTCCs. Please fill out the following form. None of the info you provide will be kept, it’ll only be used to verify your VATSIM CIDs.
