YSSY - YBBN
TESAT H185 ENTRA Y245 BANDA H185 BN
(Departures via ENTRA, Arrivals via CG)

YBBN - YSSY
BN H62 CORKY H12 TESAT
(Departures via HUUGO, Arrivals via BOREE)

YBBN - YMML

(Departures via HUUGO, Arrivals via ARBEY)

YMML - YBBN

Here's a map of the region (and ATC frequencies) VATPAC intends to open up for this event.


Note that some airports in Australia both receive airliner traffic (A320, 737, E190, DH8D etc) and have no Air Traffic Control services (They are real life CTAF 24hrs a day), and as such the overlying CTR position will provide IFR clearance, and traffic alerts to IFR traffic flying the class G airspace. Some of these airports have VERY good detailed scenery available - many freeware. This availability of high quality freeware scenery - and routes available for real world RPT airliner flights in and out, may tempt you off the beaten track.

Some examples are:

Ants Aussie Ballina (YBNA)

Brisbane West Wellcamp YBWW

OSW TO 50W LBL TO 50S GLD TO 50S ODI TO 20NE MKG

Hi everyone.

Weather forecast for tomorrow's event.

A westerley jetstream provides a significant tail wind to aircraft flying Adelaide to Sydney, although the core of this is well north of the path, it should still provide up to 80kts in the corridor.

The entire area between YSSY, YPAD and YMML sees some Clear Air Turbulence. Light turbulence forecast from FL245 - FL450 between YPAD and YMML, and between FL245-390 from YSCB to YMML.

Sydney sees the tail end of a cold front move out as scattered cloud offshore in the early stages, and the wind moving from a Northerly to a heavy gusting westerly in the 2nd to 3rd hour of the event.

Melbourne has a westerly from the onset of the event with low clouds, with possible showers later in the (Australian Saturday) morning, turning into moderate rain in the afternoon.

Adelaide sees westerlies and showers of light rain, and cloud bases down to 2000ft scattered interspersed with moderate rain bringing visibility down to 5km occasionally toward the end of the event timeframe.



Regards,
