Steven Perry Posted November 17, 2008 at 06:29 PM Posted November 17, 2008 at 06:29 PM 1. KORD opens the new 9L/27R, decomissions the bemoaned SAYRS arrival, and starts the soon-to-be-bemoaned PAITN and WATSN arrivals. 2. KSEA opens the new 16R/34L. 3. KIAD opens the new 1L/19R. Having helped an ARTCC through some runway and SID/STAR changes, I recommend that we all take into consideration that not everyone will be on the same page for quite some time. Some pilots won't get the runway scenery updates until they update to FS11. Lots of pilots won't get the new FMS data... ever. More than a few will not fly by VOR radials. Likewise, not every ATC facility has the new configurations all figured out from h-hour. Give them some time. Some controllers may not even know of the new runways or procedures right away. And even if you and the controller are on the same page, one pilot with the old info could create an issue where you cannot use the new runway for whatever reason. Don't let change ruin our fun. If you need some in-cockpit reading to remind you of this, may I suggest Who Moved My Cheese? Steven Perry VATSIM Supervisor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is I just browsed through that last night after finding my dad's copy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
