The New York, Boston, and Washington ARTCCs are teaming up to bring you an FNO like no other! We'll be lighting up the Northeastern United States, renowned for it's busy airline commuter and business service, and bringing service to three of the major metropolitan airports of the area: Boston (KBOS), New York-Kennedy (KJFK) and Washington-National (KDCA). We welcome all pilots and aircraft to come and join us for this chance to fly with ATC service in one of the most busy and congested air spaces in the country!

Monday, April 16, 2018 is the 122nd annual Boston Marathon, in Boston, MA. On the Friday before, fly the (virtual) runners up to Boston for the event on Monday! The Boston Virtual ARTCC will have Boston Logan International Airport (KBOS) staffed top to bottom from 1900-2300 ET (2300-0300z), ready to accept your speedy flights all night long!

In the Regional Circuit, controllers fully staff two regional airports, providing complete 'gate-to-gate' coverage over this special four-hour event. The focus airports are typically 80-200nm apart, and a high volume of pilots operating in this compressed airspace means the Regional Circuit provides optimal conditions for congested frequencies and busy airways.


For more information and event downloads, visit the Regional Circuit page.

February 11th marks the final day of operation for the K90 CAPE TRACON, which will be consolidated into Boston Consolidated TRACON (A90) at 6am ET. While most of the procedures will remain the same, the old "Cape Approach" will be gone from the radios, to be replaced with "Boston Approach." Join the Boston Virtual ARTCC on February 11th, 2018, from 1900-2300z (1400-1800 ET) to celebrate the legacy of the CAPE TRACON, and the (further) consolidation of the Boston TRACON! We'll have Cape Cod staffed to the gills, including Nantucket (ACK), Martha's Vineyard (MVY), Hyannis-Barnstable (HYA) and the Cape Cod Coast Guard Air Station (FMH), and multiple sectors of "Boston" Approach.

Take a day off from your busy routine and drive out to your local hangar to knock the cobwebs off your favorite General Aviation (GA) aircraft...anything from a single piston engine Cessna to a twin-jet Citation.

Then, join the rest of the BVA Community for the GA Fly-In, which will visit different parts of the country famous for their scenery and general aviation presence.  Look for several local (Tower) controllers at many Class C and D airports staffed under one Approach or Center controller. Pilots are encouraged to fly IFR or VFR between the featured airports, or fly into the event from afar!

For more information and event downloads, visit the GA Fly-In page.

The Pack The Pattern event seeks to replicate the busy atmosphere of a commercial airport. During this event, ATC fully staffs the focus airfield, and pilots are encouraged to fly VFR or IFR circuits or arrive at the airport during the event.

Occasionally, BVA will host these events in other facilities. This event is being hosted by the Minneapolis ARTCC (KZMP). They will be providing Air Traffic Control services for this event, allowing our controllers to participate and a change of scenery for an exciting night abroad.
