[1 JUN 2019, 1630Z - 2230Z] ZNY Live Event in Newark, NJ

[Jeremy Peterson]

For great views of New York City, join us, live and in person, as New York ARTCC convenes in downtown Newark, NJ for our summertime Live Event!

We will be simulating real-ops wherein pilots have the ability to book real-world flights into the New York Metro (EWR, LGA, JFK) and Philadelphia (PHL). To accommodate our schedule, expect slot compression to fit the period during which we'll be controlling (i.e., we'll take the slots across the entire day and compress them into our event time frame, dropping any that exceed our capacity).

Book your flight here!
Note: bookings show departure time in UTC and includes all arrivals and departures into JFK, EWR, LGA, and PHL between 1600Z and 2300Z. The 30-minute padding on each side allows some variability in the flight times due to weather, equipment, etc.

We'll have all major airports staffed, the center, and our TMU PIT (as it's called in New York Center) open.

Any air traffic controllers who wish to attend from outside ZNY are welcome to, just send an email to events@nyartcc.org.

More information will be available shortly so stay tuned!

Important: event period as noted in the banner is subject to change. This post will be updated if a change occurs.

Less than a month until the Live Event! Get your bookings into/out of JFK, EWR, LGA, and PHL. Note: pilots have options to fly multiple legs (e.g., fly into LGA, turnaround, and do the flight back).

Updated for event times. Please stay tuned for further schedule changes (within the 1630-2230Z timeframe).

Great Event! Can we continue this format in the future? We (us joystick manipulators) could select the flight and fly the route, this would give me advance planning for departure and an actually flying a US Airline code. Great controllers yesterday

Absolutely! It seemed like a very good format for the event on our side too. Glad you enjoyed it!

Need to remove the airline callsign restriction for the next event. Our VA is not a backed by a real world airline, and our guys wanted to fly this. However having to fly as a different airline, in a different livery was not something they wanted to do. So we did not promote this event.

What restriction are you talking about?

What restriction are you talking about?

The bookings all had real world airline flights attached to them, I understand that's because it's real world ops. The email that came to our VA about the event however. Made it sound like you had to fly under the callsign for the flight you booked.

That's why we didnt promote the event withing our VA.

If that's not the case, need to be a little more clear with that for future events.

Well it's customary for real-ops to feature real flights. Additionally, if you had any questions regarding the application of CXA (or any other virtual airline without a real-world counterpart) to the booking slots, you were encouraged to respond to the email. Perhaps next time an initiative could be made so that we can work on accommodating flights your VA might have wanted in the schedule.

Anyways, it seems this discussion is getting quite specific, so if you would like to continue it, drop an email at events@nyartcc.org.
