The Pack The Pattern event seeks to replicate the busy atmosphere of a commercial airport. Our focus airport for this month's event will be Theodore Francis Green State Airport (KPVD).  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.

From bad weather events to VFR mountain flying to SFRA and airspace avoidance, BVA's Challenge event is designed to put aviation knowledge to practice. Challenge is about learning through experience. Each event involves a specific activity, or series of activities, for pilots to complete. Past Challenge events have included the Washington and New York SFRAs, Class B airspace avoidance, landing competitions, IFR procedures, and Pilot Ratings Program flights.

This event is not about flying missions or winning points. It's about exercising your multi-tasking ability in challenging and unfamiliar situations—something pilots have to do all the time.

In this Challenge, pilots' knowledge of instrument approaches, missed approach procedures, and holds will be put to the test. Participating aircraft should file IFR flight plans involving KPVD and/or KOQU; flights between the airports, 'round robin' flights at each airport, and inbounds from other airports are all encouraged.

You're invited to join the controllers and pilots of  Boston Virtual ARTCC (BVARTCC) for our GA Fly-In event on Tuesday, November 3rd from 2000-2300 Eastern (0100-0400z). 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 ZBW airspace that are famous for their scenery and general aviation influence. While anything from a single engine Cessna to a small corporate jet is welcome in this event, ‘low and slow’ offers the best opportunity to experience the scenery.
