Our Next Regional Circuit: Tuesday, February 7, 8-11pm ET

Location: Aspen (KASE) and Colorado Springs (KCOS)

Event Description

Experience the congestion, traffic and immersion into reality that BVA's cornerstone Regional Circuit event produces every Tuesday.  Our controllers fully staff two airports, providing complete ATC coverage from gate-to-gate.  Pilots start at either airport, and are encouraged to fly multiple trips between the two using the preferred routes. Each pilot can expect plenty of traffic with busy frequencies and multiple ATC hand-offs during the event.

Our Next Domestic Journey: Sunday, February 19, 1-4pm ET

Location: Boston (KBOS) to Toronto (CYYZ)

Event Description

Ever imagine what it's like to fly a mid-range domestic flight with ATC covering your every move for hours and hundreds of nautical miles? Do you ever dream of the thrill real pilots experience every day flying mid-range hops across North America? Well, dream no longer!

The Domestic Journey will provide pilots with the opportunity to fly between two airports hundreds of miles away from each other, with full ATC coverage gate-to-gate. From Ground and Tower to Approach and multiple en-route controllers, this event is sure to bring those dreams one step closer to reality.

Our Next GA Fly-In: Sunday, January 22, 2-5pm ET

Location: Northern California: KSQL, KHWD, KOAK, and KCCR

Event Description

Take a day off from your busy routine and drive out to your local hanger to knock the cobwebs off your favorite General Aviation (GA) aircraft...anything from a single piston engine Cessna to a twin-jet Citation.

Then, join the rest of the BVA Community for the GA Fly-In, which will visit different parts of the country famous for their scenery and general aviation presence.  Look for several local (Tower) controllers at many Class C and D airports staffed under one Approach or Center controller. Pilots are encouraged to fly IFR or VFR between the featured airports, or fly into the event from afar!

Our Next Pack the Pattern: Sunday, February 26, 8-10pm ET

Location:  Eppley Airfield (KOMA)

Event Description

"N275KR, Boston Tower, cleared into the Boston Class Bravo Airspace. Remain at or below 2,000, and expect Runway 33R. Make straight in; number seven for the airport."

The event description uses Boston as a sample airport; check above for the airport that will be featured.

Imagine Boston completely packed with VFR and IFR aircraft talking to Clearance, Ground, two Towers, and multiple approach controllers! The "Pack the Pattern" event seeks to replicate the busy atmosphere of large airports for pilots and controllers by encouraging pilots to fly VFR or IFR circuits of the airport for as long as they possibly can.
 
"DAL224, Boston Approach, you are one two miles from NOLEY. Maintain four thousand until established, cleared ILS Runway 22L approach. Following behind four regional jets; maintain one seven zero knots until VOCUS"

Come prepared and know the airspace, because your tower controllers will be working hard to sequence you in between the larger, faster, jet arrivals. Depending on the traffic, you might even have to file an IFR plan if the Tower is unable to sequence you into the Class Bravo airspace!

"AAL7811, Boston Ground, sequence behind four regional jets, the last of which will be an Air Canada Embraer; then Runway 22R, taxi via Bravo, November."

For IFR pilots, we'll feature several approach controllers (just like in real life). Don't be surprised if you get vectored onto a 25-mile final or more, because there are going to be a ton of pilots waiting in line to land and depart in front of you.

"Cair 211, Boston Tower, Runway 9, line up and wait. Traffic will land and depart the crossing runways. Caution wake turbulence from a departing heavy seven six seven from your runway."

Pilots are asked to fly from Boston to Boston or time their long-haul arrivals to arrive in Boston in the middle of the event, and then join in for a few closed circuits. Touch-and-go departures, low approaches, and full stop landings will all be encouraged.
