CZEG has created a new call sign to be used for Centre training. It combines the CYYC and CYEG terminal control areas under one call sign, CZEG_APP. It is not displaying in VatSpy, or on other online references.  CYYC_APP and CYEG_APP are unchanged.

I am the FE for CZEG. Map coordinates already exist for CYYC_APP and CYEG_APP. The new call sign, CZEG_APP, assumes both terminal areas and neither can be online at the same time.

This is a Delivery Status Notification (DSN).

I was unable to deliver your message to
[email protected].

I said 
 RCPT TO:<[email protected]>

And they gave me the error;
 550-5.1.1 The email account that you tried to reach does not exist. Please try
 550-5.1.1 double-checking the recipient's email address for typos or
 550-5.1.1 unnecessary spaces. Learn more at

The new call sign will be active coincident with the 2208 AIRAC update. CYYC_APP and CYEG_APP have been active for years.

As someone who has submitted updates before, I would either

  1. Fork the repo and submit a pull request with the modifications. This does require some git and github know-how, so it may not be the easiest thing to do if you're not familiar.
  2. Create an issue so that one of the maintainers can make the modifications for you. I would need to describe exactly what needs to be done to make it easier for them. That means describing where the map ring should be drawn, callsigns, radio/display name, etc.

I don't know if anyone checks that email address even if it did work.

I have forwarded the issues of the email address to the team.

We do monitor the inbox as we use it to verify github accounts.

Can the callsign descriptions/names be modified in Vatspy?

The new callsign CZEG_APP is "Calgary-Edmonton Arrival". It is currently labelled "Calgary Approach/Departure" in Vatspy because it piggybacks on the CYYC_APP sector coordinates.

Separately, in Canada the _APP callsign is referred to as Arrival rather than Approach. I can create an issue at Github but thought this space was a better first stop.
