Matt Sanders 1181017 Posted December 1, 2011 at 08:56 PM Posted December 1, 2011 at 08:56 PM A very warm hello to UK VATSIM members. I am organising "The Four Ways" Transatlantic Event for 3rd Dec 2011 to run in conjunction with Openskies UK 2011. The event is posted on vRoute in the calender for 3rd Dec. KJFK ATC has been notified of the timeframes between 1400Z and 2200Z which of course is an early start for their ATC personnel. So I'm hoping to get as many Transatlantic Pilots prebooked from KJFK as possible between the 1400-1500Z timeslots so that you arrive nicely during the Openskies UK session in London (including Standsted) between 2000 and 2200Z. Anyone who has Xtreme Endurance then have the further option to fly a short hop from their London arrival to Manchester or Glasgow to complete a great days flying. Personally I wish to support Manchester, Bristol and Glasgow ATC by accommodating short hops into their regions. Hope to see as many Transatlantic Pilots as possible and thank all ATC for their continued support. Best, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris Thomson Posted December 1, 2011 at 09:07 PM Posted December 1, 2011 at 09:07 PM Matt, Had a look and I notice you mention Birmingham in the vroute event. This airport is not one that will be staffed up for the event so I suggest you look at some of the other airports you can book on the website: http://events.vatsim-uk.co.uk/openskies/ Thanks, Kris Kris Thomson C1 CTP Planning Team member VATSIM UK Live!

I really wish I'd stuck with EGKK, EGLL and EGSS for the event but I'd produced the Poster including EGBB. Probably an affinity to my local airport if I'm honest, which is only natural I suppose. Lately I've been directing Pilots to choose EGLL, EGKK and EGSS as I know they're guaranteed a full ATC reception on arrival . I do appreciate that EGBB ATC like to keep a check on flights coming in though. EGBE and EGNM are also great airports but lets face it EGKK and EGLL especially rock and roll when it comes to ATC availability!! Plus the Openskies Event means transitional coverage too Thanks, hope to see you there, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
