Nov 3-4th: VATSAF Birthday Bash
Ladies and Gentleman, you are all invited to come and celebrate TWO WHOLE YEARS since the inception of the South African division of Vatsim: VATSAF!
To celebrate, we're going to be throwing a huge, trademark VATSAF party lasting a whole weekend, with full ATC coverage online. We are going to be manning as many positions as possible: the main airports of Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban as well as the smaller, more rural airports without ILS systems like Bloemfontein, so if you're up for a challenge, why not come and braai with us down in the summer hemisphere?
Control will be online from 1000z-2200z on Saturday 3rd November, and reopening at the same time on Sunday 4th. Those of you who have participated in events such as Rush Hour Johannesburg and more recently the Cape of Good Hope Flyin will not be disappointed by the high standards set by our controllers on those days, and can expect a professional, friendly, and very South African service.
Charts available at www.vatsaf.net

Nov 3rd: Central African Overload
VATDRC will be hosting the Central African Overload on November 3rd between 1600-2200Z. During these times Brazzaville's Maya Maya International and Kinshasa's N'Djili International airports will both be fully staffed at one time for the very first time. This is the most complex airspace in Africa due to the fact that the airports are only 15 miles apart and the runways go in opposite directions making it challenging for both controllers and pilots.
Being that the event will be on for 6 full hours non-stop this can give everyone an opportunity to make multiple flights and experience both airports. Charts and real world flight bookings are available on our web site at www.vatdrc.com
We recommend the following routes that will have ATC coverage to and from Kinshasa and Brazzaville:
FEFF Bangui - ETE 1:40 FKKD Douala - ETE 1:40
FOOL Libreville - ETE 1:00 FGSL Malabo - ETE 1:40
FCPP Pointe Noire - ETE 0:50 FZIC Kisangani - ETE 1:40
FZQA Lubumbashi - ETE 2:15 FZEA Mbandanka - ETE 1:00
FZOA Kindu - ETE 1:30 FZWA Mbuyi-Maya - ETE 1:30

Nov 3-4th: 24h Berlin
The Berlin FIR presents you with a special event, starting on Saturday, 3. November 1200 UTC and ending after 24 hours of non-stop controlling. 10 controllers will meet in one room, creating a virtual ACC and will provide service for all Berlin airports. Pilots are invited to fly from and to Berlin Tegel, Berlin Tempelhof and Berlin Schönefeld. Since all airports are staffed from DEL to CTR, there are plenty of opportunities to plan interesting flights this weekend.
The 10 controllers will work like in a real Area Control Center: creating flightstrips, preplanning of traffic, coordination calls with adjacent sectors by the Coordination controller, short shifts after working heavy traffic and much more. Don't miss the opportunity to discover a new edge of realism on VATSIM on the first weekend in November. All information about flying to and from Berlin, charts, scenery recommendation and procedures can be found on the event homepage: http://berlin24.tr-media.org/

Oct 13th: Cape of Good Hope Fly-In
As spring begins in South Africa, VATSAF invite all pilots to come and fly in the "Mother City" of South Africa: Cape Town. Starting at 18:00z, we will have full ATC right up to Area control with other airports like Johannesburg and Durban open too. Following the great success of the Rush Hour Johannesburg event, why not come visit us again?
Cape Town is the third biggest city in South Africa, as well as the capital of the Western Cape region. Overlooked by the world-famous Table Mountain which is visible from all sides on approach to FACT, Cape Town was founded in 1652 by the Dutch settler Jan van Riebeeck. Now it boasts one of the most multi-cultural societies of the world, with three prominent languages: Afrikaans, English and Xhosa. Luckily for you, we'll deal with you in English, unless you ask nicely!
Cape Town International airport is also the second busiest airport in South Africa, and one of three international airports, serving destinations in South America, the Middle East, Europe, South-East Asia, and neighbouring African countries, not forgetting hundreds of domestic South African flights operating several times a day!
So, spoilt for choice really, why don't you come pay us a visit? Kom kuier! Masityelele!
