In the Regional Circuit, we staff up two of our airports to provide pilots with an opportunity to receive 'gate-to-gate' ATC service for the duration of the event. Pilots are encouraged to fly between the two airports and make the return flight if time allows; however, traffic from other airports is welcome as well. The Regional Circuit always creates an immersive atmosphere with busy frequencies and congested airways between the host airports.

This Regional Circuit features Boston Logan Airport (KBOS) and Albany International Airport (KALB).

Local Time: June 27, 2019 2000-2300ET
Zulu Time: June 28, 2019 0000-0300z

BVA's Pack the Pattern gives pilots the opportunity to fly closed traffic at one of our busier airports and experience the realism of being sequenced with IFR and VFR arrivals. This event is designed to put both our most skilled pilots and controllers to the test.

All traffic is welcome, from a piston prop remaining in the pattern to a long-haul airliner flying in from afar. Join us for a few touch-and-goes, low approaches, or a full-stop landing!

This Pack the Pattern is hosted at Boston Logan International Airport (KBOS).

Live from Nashua, NH: Boston Virtual ARTCC presents the 20th Annual Boston Tea Party!

Welcome to the 20th Annual Boston Tea Party LIVE! On Saturday, August 10, our controllers will come together in Nashua, NH to bring you seven hours of uninterrupted ATC coverage across the entire Boston ARTCC!  In addition to Boston (KBOS) we will have staffing at many of our regional airports such as Bradley (KBDL), Providence (KPVD), Syracuse (KSYR), Portland (KPWM), Albany (KALB), and Nantucket (KACK).

The fun will begin at 12:00 PM ET on August 10 and continue for 7 hours.  The event will end promptly at 7:00 PM ET (2300 Z) so please plan your flights accordingly! The facility where we will be controlling will not be available beyond this time. Pilots are highly encouraged to read Boston Virtual ARTCC's Letter to Airmen before flying!

During the event, pilots may also participate in a fun game called Tea Party Poker! Participating pilots can receive virtual poker cards after completing eligible flights. Pilots holding the best hands at the end of the event will have the opportunity to win great prizes from our Event Sponsors, which include HiFi, orbx, RealityXP, Rex Simulations, and Thrustmaster! Please visit the Tea Party page for more information.

Set the parking brake on the airliner and knock the cobwebs off your favorite general aviation aircraft! The General Aviation Fly-In visits locales across the country that are famous for their scenery and general aviation influence. While anything from a single engine Cessna to a regional jet is welcome in this event, ‘low and slow’ offers the best opportunity to experience the scenery.

During the event, local air traffic control is staffed at smaller Class C and D airports, with overlying radar controllers to provide VFR Flight Following and IFR services. Fly VFR closed traffic, practice instrument approaches, or fly VFR or IFR between the featured airports: the choice is yours.

This GA Fly-in features Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (KMHT) and Nashua Airport at Boire Field (KASH).
