Martin Bergin 931070 Posted October 24, 2011 at 02:42 AM Posted October 24, 2011 at 02:42 AM VATEUD is proud to announce the expansion of their Open Skies initiative to include all VATEUR Controllers.

Philipp Edlich Posted May 13, 2014 at 07:48 AM Posted May 13, 2014 at 07:48 AM The only countries that are part of the Open Skies program are Georgia and Iceland. This statement should be still valid.

Wygene Chong 1089621 Posted May 13, 2014 at 09:38 AM Posted May 13, 2014 at 09:38 AM I would like to point out that Iceland is now in transition period. We are still under Openskies but it is highly recommended that you have a look at our General Procedures before logging on, as our radar-[Mod - Happy Thoughts]isted oceanic airspace is rather unique. Training sessions are also offered to new controllers and coordinated on our forums. http://www.vatsim-scandinavia.org Of course, we are always looking for new members to join our team Wygene Chong C1 Controller | Iceland | Greenland | Faroe Islands VATSIM Scandinavia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Wong Posted May 13, 2014 at 11:20 AM Posted May 13, 2014 at 11:20 AM As I have seen so far, Armenia is the only country which is still part of the VATEUD Open Sky programme. All other countries from the initial phase back in year 2011 have become and got their official and unofficial vACC status with their own independant staff teams nowadays.

Wygene Chong 1089621 Posted May 13, 2014 at 12:01 PM Posted May 13, 2014 at 12:01 PM I can also confirm that Iceland is still part of Openskies as well. The current consensus between VATEUD and VATSIM Scandinavia is that the status should stay until traffic/ATC levels rise to a reasonable level. While traffic levels have risen noticeably over the last year, ATC remains quite sp[Mod - Happy Thoughts].

Nicolas Ammann Posted May 13, 2014 at 12:30 PM Posted May 13, 2014 at 12:30 PM It should be corrected. Armenia is the part of VATRUS. Georgia is still a part of Open Skies.

Evgeny Vygornitsky Posted May 13, 2014 at 12:53 PM Posted May 13, 2014 at 12:53 PM Guys, thanks for such a quick response. Nevertheless as there is almost no traffic there, we can discuss and invite your controllers to provide ATC in Caucasus countries "on mutually beneficial basis" .

Tim Wong Posted May 13, 2014 at 12:55 PM Posted May 13, 2014 at 12:55 PM Hi Tim, thats not correct. Slovenia is still Open Sky again since Philipp Edlich resigned as Director. Really? Then it's my fault because I saw Phillip signed-in and observing as ACCSLO1 yesterday. So, I've thought that he continues to realise the Slovenian vACC. The information on the VATEUD website must be updated. thx for the hint. No need say thank-you.

Filip Markoski Posted May 18, 2014 at 01:29 PM Posted May 18, 2014 at 01:29 PM Any new controller that can help increasing activity within Skopje FIR is more then welcome. Also we are accepting members that can help us in the background improving our vACC by taking staff position (weather it would be acting or full member).

Irakli Urushadze 1219652 Posted January 21, 2015 at 10:27 PM Posted January 21, 2015 at 10:27 PM Hello, I hope I am posting in correct topic. As I noted that Georgian airspace (UGGG) in VATSIM network is under control of RU-WRC (Russia western control), but from 2014 Georgian airspace in under Eurocotrol space. (please see https://www.eurocontrol.int/articles/member-flags-and-adhesion-dates and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurocontrol ). Can you please tell me what should be done to change Georgian airspace (UGGG) from Russia western control to Eurocontrol south. Also I failed to find Georgia in country lists at http://www.vateud.net/countries. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you please tell me what should be done to change Georgian airspace (UGGG) from Russia western control to Eurocontrol south. In VATSIM network Georgia is NOT under Russia Western Control officially but still can be controlled by any European controller.

So real life does not always affect the life of VATSIM.

Tim Wong Posted January 22, 2015 at 04:03 AM Posted January 22, 2015 at 04:03 AM In addition, as you can see on the screenshot Georgia is not administered by VATRUS Division. Source: http://vatrus.info/en/firs Last but not least, Georgia vACC does not exist on VATSIM officially. Neither has it its own staff nor has it a rebuild team. A quote from old VATEUD (European) Division website: "Georgia A vACC does not yet officially exist in Georgia. As part of a new initiative to bring online presence to current dormant or non-existant areas of VATEUD, please note that until further notice, these may be manned at will by anyone regardless of which vACC they belong to within the European Division. In other words, members can control as per their GRP2 rating requirement at any time they so wish without the need to sign up as Visiting Controllers. This policy will be reviewed soon."
