Mark Bott 1100894 Posted January 31, 2011 at 08:22 PM Posted January 31, 2011 at 08:22 PM Diversion Hysteria II! Another blizzard is heading for ZNY and it's going to shut down the major airports! Don't worry we won't keep you on the tarmac for three hours, we'll just divert you to one of our non-impacted airports - somewhere you weren't planning to go! All you have to do is file a flight plan to one of our major airports (KPHL, KJFK, KLGA, or KEWR) and we'll take care of the rest. If you don't like the element of surprise, let us know where you want to go by filing an alternate airport of your choice. We suggest KISP, KSWF, KABE, KHPN, KFRG, KPNE, or KTEB. Have your heart set on landing at one of the major airports? Do not fear, we will call out the plows just for you! Sunday, Feburary 13th 2011 1:00-7:00 PM EST (1800-0000z +1) We invite everyone on VATSIM to experience Diversion Hysteria II for themselves.

Alex Evins 976213 Posted January 31, 2011 at 10:56 PM Posted January 31, 2011 at 10:56 PM Not necessarily. It's dependent on a bunch of factors and can go either way. METARS will not be modified but you can use your own user defined weather as long as you adhere to controller [Mod - Happy Thoughts]igned altimeter settings. In such cases you may want to indicate "User Defined Weather" in the remarks section of your flight plan. On another note, if you are diverted and would like to depart the current airport for the original destination, include DVRSN in the remarks section of your flight plan.
