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
