This week's BVA event features a special twist on our normal GA Fly-In series. Join BVA on October 1st from 1-5pm ET for a special military airport focused fly-in event featuring four airports within our airspace with military installations: Westfield - Barnes Regional Airport (KBAF), Westover Air Reserve Base/Metropolitan Airport (KCEF), Portsmouth International At Pease Airport (KPSM), and Schenectady County Airport (KSCH). This is a great opportunity to practice helicopter operations or just go for a scenic flight across the center of our airspace. While you are at it, feel free to dive into the rules and regulations around Special Use Airspace (https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/atpubs/aim_html/chap3_section_4.html). Any pilots wishing to conduct military operations and maneuvers must comply with VATSIM vSOA (https://cdn.vatsim.net/policy-documents/VATSIM%20VSOA%20Policy.pdf) policy or you will be asked to cancel such procedures.
October 1st, 2022 1-5pm ET {1700-2100z}
It’s also a great time to try out one of our WINGS (https://forum.bvartcc.com/bvaportal/wings/intro) flights. Remember, many of the flights have published Alternate Airports, allowing you to earn your BVA pilot ratings at event airports!
