Invitation for ACH VA:
VATSIM UK and the Heathrow RTS proudly present the biggest event to kick start the New
Year, the Heathrow Overload 2011.
On Sunday January 23rd 2011 from 1600z-2200z during this cold winter month, grab a tea,
coffee or hot chocolate and prepare for 6 hours of the biggest rush you will ever experience!
Two runways, five terminals and a constant stream of inbound and outbound traffic - it's so hot,
you might have to forget the hot drink.
During the event hours, our aim is to run London Heathrow Airport at its capacity. All real
procedures will be in use to offer you a real-life feeling in our virtual world.
Be amazed as you are vectored for an ILS approach and you can see three, maybe four
aircraft in front of you on the same glidepath! If you have to hold, which is going to be likely, be
prepared to see your TCAS display light up showing other aircraft in the same stack, above or
beneath you!
We offer you ...
- A professional controller team with a fully staffed airport, from delivery up to approach
- An overcrowded airspace where you can see other aircraft out the window and on TCAS
- Real life, minimum spacing that puts the airport into maximum utilization
- Area/Center Control provided throughout to give you an amazing experience
