VATUSA's Transcon 2019

[Andrew Sterling]

On November 2nd, 2019 from 1700z-0100z VATUSA will host the 2019 Transcon Event. This event will feature east and west coast fields for departures and arrivals and have En Route ARTCCs staffed as well. This is a great opportunity to experience a transcontinental flight with full ATC along the way. We are planning to have 4 eastern departure fields/arrival fields and 3-4 western arrival/departure fields. Pilots can fly between any of the select fields and be guaranteed top down ATC services. VATUSA will provide a pilot briefing closer to the event which will have preferred routing and other details/instructions to insure the events runs smoothly. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me at vatusa5@vatusa.net. Please include Transcon 2019 in the subject. We look forward to seeing everyone on Nov 2! Flights will depart from KSEA, KSFO, or KLAX and track eastbound across the U.S. to one of the four arrival airport including - KIAD, KMCO, KMIA, KJFK, and KBOS. Enroute ATC will be provided and preferred routing will be posted as well as a pilot brief closer to the event. We look forward ot everyone coming out and enjoying a night of flying.
