Anchorage ARTCC and Honolulu Control Facility were combined into one facility, the Pacific Control Facility.

Their website is https://pacificcontrol.net/

When I was the webmaster prior to resigning; I had not developed a forums; as there was no need to hold a forum as we held a Discord server. If you already have Discord you may join using https://vats.im/pcfdiscord. If you do not hold an account do not fret, and register via https://discord.com/ then continue to join the server via the previous link. Discord is a communications system that combined text and voice... which PCF uses for their general communication between controllers and controllers, and staff and controllers, etc. ... as well as using VoIP for the voice communications which can be used for town halls, meetings, and coordination!

Mahalo!

Aidan,

Thanks for great tip.  I might join to say hi to all my Alaskan pals!!!!  I wish there is forum because I always publish screenshots of Alaskan flights for the ARTCC Anchorage forums.

Regards,

Aharon

Sadly we no longer have a need for a forums page, all of our communication as well as other functions a forums page would serve is in our Discord.

Curious. Does PCF also handle ZAK? I ask, because I don't know if what you are doing there is cancelling the Pacific Oceanic Partnership between VATUSA, VATNZ, and VATPAC. Their site still exists, but their forum doesn't anymore, as it relied on the old VATSIM forum that was updated.

Is the Pacific Oceanic Partnership still in effect?

The Pacific Control Facility does not operate the Oakland Oceanic, or any Pacific Oceanic airspace. That is still operated under the Pacific Oceanic Partnership, and information can be found through that website that you posted yourself! :)

The Pacific Control Facility does operate Anchorage Oceanic, but that is all.   :)
