Pacific oceanic partnership
VATSIM's Pacific Oceanic Partnership is a revolutionary change in the way Oceanic airspace is operated in the online world.
Prior to its establishment, Oceanic airspace within the Pacific was controlled by multiple separate divisions who each set their own operating, testing and certification procedures for controllers and pilots. To staff an Oceanic ATC position you had to have been certified by the division responsible for that particular piece of airspace.
Now, the Pacific Oceanic Partnership Programme has brought together the Oceanic operations of VATNZ, VATPAC, and VATUSA with a standard set of procedures, and a standard training and testing syllabus.
For more information check out the Pacific Oceanic Website.
ABOUT
VATOCE is the Oceanic Region of the VATSIM Network, administering Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.
VATSIM is a worldwide network dedicated to providing a simulated Air Traffic Control environment. Free software allows pilots to connect their home flight simulator software to the network to interact with other pilots and receive ATC from real people.
GETTING STARTED
Apart from your flight simulator, all the software and infrastructure to get online is entirely FREE.
To get started, visit the VATSIM Home Page to join the VATSIM network and get online, then visit the VATNZ Division for details on flying in New Zealand, and the VATPAC Division for details on the rest of Oceania.
Regional discussions can be found in the VATSIM Oceania Forums
