« on: March 13, 2026, 09:07:07 AM »


Join the New York ARTCC for our monthly featured field series! Throughout the year, you’ll be able to enjoy our ATC services and bring the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple to our busy satellite airports like Teterboro, Westchester, Islip, and more.

Practice your approaches, fly a scheduled airliner, or start a cross-country journey - it can all be done right here on Tuesday Nights in New York!

This month, join us at the border for a little tri-state action! We'll be opening up the Philadelphia TRACON for the surrounding minor fields, including Northeast Philadelphia (PNE), Wilmington (ILG), and Trenton (TTN). Too tired to do some international border hopping? Cross state lines instead!

This month, we're firing up the grill for the upcoming Memorial Day Weekend, on an island like no other...an island LONGER than any other...Long Island! Or, should I say, Lawn Guyland? That's right, we're excited to kickoff the summer season here in New York, and we look forward to welcoming you to Long Island (ISP)!

Date & Time: Tuesday, May 19th | 7pm - 10pm Eastern | 2300z - 0200z

The event was so nice, we’re doing it twice! You showed Newark Airport so much love last year during 30 Hours of EWR (over 1,600 operations to be exact!), that the New York ARTCC is excited to present 30 Hours of JFK.

From the arrival pushes to the transatlantic rushes, and everything in between, John F. Kennedy International Airport (KJFK) will be open and staffed for 30 full hours. This is your best chance to simulate realism - and maybe even outpace real-life airport operations! That said, we expect high demand for this event, so in turn, you should expect delays during portions of the event.

Whether you’re flying a long-haul from across the pond, hopping up and down the coast, or just taking your favorite aircraft for a spin around the Bravo, this is your chance to fly into and out of JFK on your own schedule. No rush. No windows to catch. Just 30 hours of uninterrupted service at one of the country’s busiest and most iconic airports.

Date & Time: Tuesday, June 30, 2026 at 12pm to Wednesday, July 1, 2026 at 6pm Eastern (30/1600z to 01/2200z)

Events / [04/19/2026] April Showers at LaGuardia Tower
« on: February 23, 2026, 01:12:05 PM »


They say April Showers bring May Flowers, but what happens when the rain is particularly potent? It sprouts a rare LaGuardia Tower! We walked into this tower and discovered it is magically fully equipped for operations, so we figured we’d put it to good use.

Join the New York ARTCC as we usher in springtime at LaGuardia (LGA), and enjoy the scenic views on your way in and out on this fine Sunday afternoon!

Date & Time: April 19, 2026, 1:00pm → 5:00pm Eastern (1700z - 2100z)

It’s Sunday in America, and that can only mean one thing: football! This Sunday, let’s turn on a different “big screen” and open up Philadelphia (PHL) for all the Eagles fans (and haters). One thing is for sure, though. There will be no “Rocky” starts to this fun event!

Come join the New York ARTCC for our final major event of 2025. Thank you all for an incredible year of events, and we can’t wait to see you all next year!

Date & Time: Sunday, December 21, 2025, 1:00pm → 4:00pm Eastern (1800z - 2100z)

This month, Kennedy (JFK) is celebrating the New York Rangers’ season opener against the Pittsburgh Penguins! As the boys in blue get ready to take off, we’ll be keeping the skies just as clear as Igor keeps the crease. And don’t worry!

Events / [09/26/2025] The New York FNO: BaconEggCheese
« on: August 01, 2025, 05:19:53 PM »


The English language has truly developed and blossomed over centuries, but one word in particular has stood out: baconeggcheese. Roam the streets of New York City, and you’ll hear locals uttering this prehistoric word to deli clerks all over the city. In fact, the world record for longest word goes to some random dude in Midtown who walked into a deli and said “yeahhowyadoinlemmegetabaconeggcheesesaltpepperketchuponrye.” True story!

The bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich is what unites us all, and this year, the New York ARTCC invites you to our table to experience this delicious delicacy embodied as our three major airports. Your bacon is sourced from the Hudson Express in Newark (EWR). Your egg comes from one of 100 Dunkin’ stands in LaGuardia (LGA). And the cheese? Oh, you better believe that’s coming from the one and only, Kennedy (JFK)!

Join us for our annual fall FNO, and you too can experience all there is to see, taste, and smell, of our flagship cuisine!

But we do have…one more thing! During the FNO, you have the ability to be entered into a chance at winning one of 8 scenery giveaways! A huge thank you to Drzewiecki Design (4 EWR) and iniBuilds (4 JFK, either for MSFS 2020 or 2024, your choice) for making this possible! Here’s how to enter:

During the event, send a PM to NY_T_CTR, and include the following information:
  • VATSIM CID
  • Email Address
  • Flight Origin & Destination (you must fly into or out of EWR, LGA, or JFK, to be eligible)

To restate that, if you fly into ANY EVENT FIELD (EWR, LGA, or JFK), and you follow the aforementioned steps, you will be entered into the giveaway. Please spread the love across all three fields!

And that’s all there is to it! Limit one entry and one prize per user. Our hard-working controllers will also be automatically entered to win from their own pool, and drawings will take place following the close of the event (11pm Eastern). No late entries! Winners will be contacted via email following the drawing, and the EWR and JFK sceneries will be assigned via a randomizer.

Date & Time: Friday, September 26, 2025, 7:00pm → 11:00pm Eastern (2300z - 0300)
