Pilots who depart from any of the European airports, will route via Shanwick/Santa Maria and New York Oceanic for the Atlantic crossing. The route will be fully staffed for the entire crossing to ensure realism for all involved! During the course of the event, the majority of participating pilots from each of the divisions should merge to cross the Atlantic and arrive into the selected arrival airports. We would encourage pilots to fly in groups with their division to ensure the event is as fun as possible for all pilots and gives everybody a mini-event within the main huge Atlantic Crossing event.

The event will start at 10:00Z. This is when the European controllers will be logged on (at the latest). Our oceanic controllers will log on at 11:00Z. The South American divisions will start opening at 16:00Z to prepare for the aircraft leaving the oceanic area.

In order to make the event work, it is essential that you fly the routes that will be provided here on the day of the event. Different departures will be required to fly on different NATs in order to make best use of the airspace. 


Routes are available on oceanic division website
