Matthew Bartels Posted May 2, 2015 at 04:48 PM Posted May 2, 2015 at 04:48 PM VATUSA is excited to announce the return of Light Up America on Saturday May 30, 2015. This event will feature all 22 ARTCCs within VATUSA for 10 hours. 4 hours of which the entire continental USA will be lit up with Air Traffic Control at the Centers as well as Major Approach and Tower facilities. Enjoy uninterrupted ATC during the event. Simply fly between any airports as much you would like and enjoy the quality ATC Services that VATUSA facilities pride themselves on. Every facility will be on for at least a 6 hour time frame with the East Coast facilities starting up at 12:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time. As the event progresses, the additional centers will log on at noon in their local time zone. By 3:00 PM all the centers will be online for you. As the event winds down, facilities will be encouraged to remain online, but must remain online until at least 6:00 PM local time. As they begin to close down, we will extend the event even further west with the Anchorage, Honolulu, and Oakland Oceanic control facilities coming online to work your Hawaii and Alaska flights! It will be a great day of flying for you. We have lots of prizes available to those pilots that do a bit of exploring around the country during the event.

Chad Vienna 1195499 Posted May 27, 2015 at 09:51 PM Posted May 27, 2015 at 09:51 PM Do Contest flights have to originate at one of Featured airports for point scoring? _________________ Chad Vienna - KCRQ ZLA Pilot Cert I-09 "The important thing in aeroplanes is that they shall be speedy." — Baron Manfred Von Richthofen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Bartels Posted May 28, 2015 at 05:00 PM Author Posted May 28, 2015 at 05:00 PM No. They have to start in one ARTCC and land in the ARTCC of the featured airport though.
