TMA Turn-Around

TMA Turn-Around is VATPAC's exciting new major event. This event will be held on Sunday, 19th of September starting at 7pm AEST (0900z) and finishing at 9pm AEST (1100z). It will maximise density in the relatively small amount of airspace between Sydney (YSSY) and Canberra (YSCB).

TMA Operations require the controller to have a unique knowledge of the local procedures for each particular airport and area. VATPAC provide a range of documentation and tools that are designed to help you achieve the maximum amount of realism possible when it comes to TMA Operations.

To further aid in both controller situational awareness and local knowledge VATPAC are in the process of producing TMA Maps which, like charts used by real controllers, provide you with a whole heap of detailed information at a glance. Forgotten that ILS frequency? Unsure if that VFR aircraft is penetrating CTA? Well now you'll be able to get answers to these questions and many more quickly and easily without the need to sift through mountains of text.

Next time you go to control in your favourite TMA, ask yourself, have I supplemented my understanding of local procedures? Hit Read More to find out more information.
