Title: PGZU - GUAM FIR, USA
Post by: Sean Harrison on July 14, 2010, 08:38:19 PM

Can anyone point me to the administering authority for the GUAM FIR, USA (PGZU)?

There is a fair amount of traffic out there at the moment, and would be good to help out with some ATC if possible.  PGUA being such a strategic Airfield I would envisage that it has radar services around the islands etc.

Any help or suggestions appreciated.

PS. I did dearch the forum, but couldn't see anything relevant.

If I understand it correctly PGZU falls under ZAK-W FSS airspace so would be under VATUSA juristdiction. I don't know if there is any plans to get it going as an active ARTCC, but I do know that it has only be active once or twice that I have seen in my 6 years here at VATSIM.

Have a look here:

The FIR administration is mostly unofficial at the moment, but a lot of good work has been done, and there are some folks looking after it.

Thanks Johnathon and Tom.  Not sure why that site doesn't get found with google search!

Anyway, thank-you for the link.

It's not a independently owned domain hosted website.. that's why. Still being developed as a visiting only FIR with volunteers to staff it, like ZAK FSS.
