Toronto FIR and New York ARTCC are partnering to present a crossfire between John F. Kennedy International (KJFK) and Toronto/Lester B. Pearson International (CYYZ). Join us Veterans Day evening as controllers from both sides of the border manage flights between the two facilities (and don't forget to correct for Daylight Savings)! More details to follow.

ZNY's third week of Minor Thursday's takes us back to the home of the ARTCC: New York City. Fly your helicopter, Cessna, or other light aircraft up and down the Hudson and East Rivers for a night of congested fun!

Pilot Briefing (adapted from the original)

ZNY is kicking off a series of minor events on select Thursdays coming up. The first one features the Harrisburg TRACON which controls Harrisburg International (MDT), Capital City (CXY), Lancaster (LNS), and Muir AFB (MUI). Alternatively, fly into its uncontrolled fields, IFR or VFR, and test ZNY controllers' knowledge of these procedures! Some uncontrolled fields you can fly into include York, PA (KTHV), Schuylkill County (KZER), and Selinsgrove (KSEG), each a Class E field.

Come and fly your choice of aircraft across the US in our TRANSCON event, featuring live controlling from Center City Philadelphia! Fly real-world flights or make up your own. This event features LAX, SFO, SEA, DEN, LGA, EWR, and JFK!

I am in the process of developing a Google Classroom-based platform for learning traffic management functions in VATSIM. Currently, it consists of one work-in-progress course covering introductory TFM (traffic flow management) topics.

TFM 100 is designed to provide controllers who are relatively familiar with their airspace and who are interested in traffic management a broad insight into the tools and capabilities that work (and don't work) in VATSIM.

If you are interested in participating in the course, visit the Training section. You will need to join the "Students" group in order to receive the access codes to join the courses.

If you are interested in contributing material, logistics, administration--anything with the system, please email me!

I intend on developing these courses frequently so (1) be patient for new material; and, (2) enjoy!

Note: though I am a current member of the NYARTCC, this system, in its current state is not reflective of the ARTCC in any fashion, including representing it, its operations, or its mission. Further, as of yet, the system is disjoint from the VATUSA organization even though material within the course is VATUSA-oriented.
