Back to the norm this week with some flying between Wellington and Queenstown. This is an excellent opportunity for MSFS users to test their systems and the national power grid. We expect some good screenshots from Wellington and some interesting go-arounds, as otherwise, it's not a proper Queenstown event.
Note to Pilots: For those not yet aware. Navigraph charts only have the RNP Z. This is flown by CAT B aircraft (ATR), and the RNP Y should be taken for almost all jets. This can be found on the New Zealand AIP website, linked in the controller's description.
Controllers can pick positions they're rated to staff, with preference being for Wellington or Queenstown positions.
The goal is to get as much movement between the two airports as possible in the event. Remember to keep those controllers busy.
The event is not rostered, so it will be a first come, first serve system in atc-requests.
See you all on Sunday night!
