Tyler Goeggel 1071085 Posted October 5, 2008 at 11:48 PM Posted October 5, 2008 at 11:48 PM I was wondering if someone knew what the least controlled American sector is. By this I mean usually not seeing the airspace controlled perhaps because it's small or has a lack of staff. I haven't been with Vatsim for a long time, today being my second day, but I'm thinking it's Albuquerque or Oakland Oceanic. Anyone want to correct me? I'm just wondering out of curiosity.

Tyler Goeggel 1071085 Posted October 5, 2008 at 11:54 PM Author Posted October 5, 2008 at 11:54 PM I'm thinking Anchorage You know, I was thinking that too. But when I saw a center there for about 6 hours today I was pretty impressed. Its been 2 days and I have a lot to learn, especially when it comes to activity, but ANC seems to be fine. I could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Littlejohn Posted October 6, 2008 at 02:38 AM Posted October 6, 2008 at 02:38 AM Guam followed by New York Oceanic. I've seen ZNY Oceanic on a couple of times, but not recently.. Guam? 23 hours for the TRACON, 12 for the Tower, and that's over the course of 6 years. BL. Brad Littlejohn ZLA Senior Controller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Cierpial 1008209 Posted October 6, 2008 at 10:23 AM Posted October 6, 2008 at 10:23 AM Yes New York Oceanic is pretty much never on since the materials and SOPs we have date back to around 2005. Since then, half of the fixes/other things no longer exist. We are currently in the process of reworking our Oceanic information and after that we will begin to train more New York Oceanic Controllers.

Garrett Smith 1047177 Posted October 9, 2008 at 10:52 PM Posted October 9, 2008 at 10:52 PM Well I gotta say Im glad, I have just started using Vatsim after signing up a few months back and finding anchorage dead. We have a VA at FSEconomy and several pilots in Vastim, it is nice to be able to use this now. I look forward to working with Anchorage control! We will be promoting Vatsim with our pilots, and filling the Alaska skys. Several other groups at FSE use vatsim also, things should pick up I hope. http://www.sunstealer.com/era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
