Events / Opposite Day in the Bay (SJC, OAK, SFO)
« on: October 10, 2021, 12:30:14 PM »


Please review the pilot brief: https://vts.im/odb-brief
Pilot brief will be available at the above URL at or before Jan 7th 0000z

San Francisco International Airport is known for its closely spaced approaches to runways 28L and 28R, as well closely spaced departures from runways 1L and 1R. SFO runs in that configuration for the majority of the year, but in the rare occasion that winds are strong out of the east or southeast, the bay area falls into what is called "Southeast Plan", where San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose flip their direction of operations. For this event, we will be putting ourselves into Southeast Plan, rain or shine (or unfavorable wind). Come experience this once a year (seriously! this configuration only happens a few times a year!) configuration with us.

Featured Airports: SFO, OAK, SJC
Date & Time: January 9th, 2022, 4 - 8 PM PST (7 - 11 PM EST, 0000z-0400z)
Note: Zulu time falls on the following date in Zulu

Routing Notes Please make sure to file the following arrivals to avoid having to adjust your routing mid-flight. Only the most important changes to arrivals are noted. Non-RNAV aircraft can expect to receive appropriate routing during the event.

  • Instead of the DYAMD# arrival, file the ALWYS# arrival (arrivals from the east)

Events / Toga Party II (KSJC)
« on: February 08, 2021, 11:56:21 AM »


Toga Party? Toga is the name of one the sectors covering San Jose, named so since there are many planes that execute go arounds in the sector. Well, maybe not, but that's the lie we are going with.

Ever since we had the first Toga Party a few years ago, we've been itching to do it again. So here it is! San Jose (for your jets) and Reid Hillview (for your props) will both be staffed for your flying desires.
