VATSIM South East Asia website re-launch and Open Skies.

[Steven Cullen]

 

VATSIM South East Asia Division is currently running an Open Sky Policy trial scheme in alignment with the Open Sky Policy announced by VATASIA with the goal of encouraging visiting controllers to participate in ATC activity in VATSEA. The trial period will last for six months, from now until June 15th, 2014. During this period, any controllers from any division on VATSIM are invited to control any positions in Hong Kong FIR, Vientiane FIR and Phnom Penh FIR corresponding to their rating. Their ATC activities will still subject to the Visiting Control Policy published by the VATSIM Executive Committee and must comply with any local ATC regulations. Depending on the operational need of the division, VATSEA may revise the restrictions on Open Sky controllers during the course of the scheme. FIRs other than aforementioned ones are not participating in Open Sky at this time.

 

As the goal of the Open Sky Policy is to minimize the workload of local instructors, OP controllers will be provided self-study training guides to familiarize themselves with local procedures. While they are encouraged to self-study all local procedures on their own as much as possible, local instructors will still [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ist with any questions or concerns that OP controllers may have during this period.

 

Controllers interested are to apply with VATSEA Division Director (Acting) ([email protected]) stating their current rating, home division, and hours of controlling at current rating.
