At the beginning of the month, we announced our upcoming event: West Coast Dash. The event will take place February 24th 2018 @ 2100z between San Diego and San Francisco. It’s shaping to be an exciting event with many people attending. To help entice even more of you to join us, we’ve teamed up with Orbx to offer discount on their San Diego (KSAN) scenery!
From February 21st (00:00z) until February 24th (23:59z), Orbx will be offering 30% discount on San Diego (KSAN). This is a fantastic way to start the event and take advantage of Orbx’s generosity.
During the event, we’ll be giving away a bunch prizes for you to win! We’ll announce how you can win them during the event.
Right, so the event details.
Let’s be realistic, no one really knows how many people we’re going to expect. We could have 20 aircraft or 200. So we ask that you follow some of the guidelines listed below so we can have this event go as smooth as possible.
Callsigns will no doubt be an issue seeing as how only United, Alaska, and Southwest serve this city pair. If you happen to get a RW callsign, consider yourself lucky. Otherwise we recommend you use your birthday in place of the flight number (January 29th = SWA129).
ZLA has asked that we provide you all with the following routes for you to expect and file:
San Francisco [KSFO/SFO] to San Diego [KSAN/SAN]
– – OFFSH1 MCKEY LAX COMIX1 – –
Arrivals are highly encouraged to use the COMIX1 arrival and prepare for the RNAV Z RWY 27 approach or a visual.
San Diego [KSAN/SAN] to San Francisco [KSFO/SFO]
– – PADRZ2 IKAYE RIZIN SPLNT STOKD SERFR SERFR2 – –
If San Diego is departing east, use the ECHOO2 departure.
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.
