« on: April 25, 2020, 12:43:16 PM »


Welcome to VATUSA's first installation of Open Mic Night!  For this event, we are encouraging ARTCCs to staff up (while not mandatory) and promote traffic to fly in the division as a whole and not just a couple of airports. Staffing will begin at 2300z and continue into the night.  Come and try it out!

PILOTS: Once you are done flying in the open mic night, I encourage you to fill out this form: https://forms.gle/eNx3KjprRQPmfcZg6
If you are a controller, don't fill this out!  This is to gauge pilot interest.  Thanks!

Before the party starts though pilots need to pick up the supplies at Halifax Airport (CYHZ) before their destination of St. Johns (CYYT). The event kicks off at 22:00z. Hope to see you there!

Good evening all,
Tonight, a bunch of ECs and Senior Staff members from most ARTCCs got together to help find a solution to our FNO issue.  After a couple of hours of debate and discussion, we came up with a plan for FNOs until the end of the bid.  The new rules are as follows:
-ARTCCs with an FNO bid secured during the remaining bid will be allowed to keep the FNO.
-Those ARTCCs will coordinate amongst each other and determine realistically where they can land 300 (Set standard, may go up from there) aircraft over the FNO time period.
   For example, ZMA can calculate that they will arrive 50 planes per hour into MIA.  That is 200 planes over the FNO
         time period.
   They must then find where they will land the other 100 arrivals.
-The ARTCC may choose to add more airports, or they may choose to add more ARTCCs
-The ARTCC must provide a proposal that includes their numbers for airports, as well as a list of expected staffing levels for all expected positions.
-This approval must be sent to me in written form no later than TWO (2) weeks before the event start (VATUSA recommends before that).
-If the plan gets approved, the ARTCC may proceed as planned with the FNO.
-If the plan gets denied, the ARTCC must take additional steps to add more ARTCCS, airports, or staffing (Specified by me).
This plan was created not by one person, but by many.  If it needs to be tweaked a little bit, we will do so.
It's a bit complicated, but if you have any questions, feel free to message me or email me.
Thanks.
This will be effective through the last FNO in June.  If we have to extend this, we will.
This information is mostly for ECs, I am just remaining transparent in our decisions.

General Discussion / Changes to FNOs for the time being
« on: April 11, 2020, 01:00:16 AM »
Hello all,
There is a big change coming to FNOs.  Beginning with the FNO on April 17 going until the FNO on June 26, all FNOs must have at least TWO (2) ARTCCs staff featured airports.  This will hopefully alleviate the problem with airports being too overloaded and it will put some of that pressure on another ARTCC and airport.  This rule is subject to change but, this is what needs to happen for the time being.

Questions, comments, or concerns?  Email me or message me in discord.
Thanks

Join the Chicago ARTCC for a Friday evening out on Lake Michigan!  We will be staffing up Chicago O'Hare (KORD) and Chicago Midway (KMDW) for four straight hours and maybe even a little bit more, depending on how we feel afterward.


Pilots are encouraged to have updated scenery that includes all 7 runways, if you do not have those, please advise the controllers in your remarks or on initial contact.

It's Monday!  On February 11th, the Chicago ARTCC will be opening four GA airports for all to come into and fly, featuring Waukegan (KUGN), Aurora (KARR), Chicago Executive (KPWK), and Gary (KGYY) airports.  Come on down and fly your favorite piston, jet, or whatever your heart desires.


Good thing they didn't hire me to make event descriptions full time. :P
