Description

Welcome to the Zurich Night, the weekly onlineday of Switzerlands major airport! Every Tuesday from 19:00z to 21:00z, expect full staffing, professional and friendly ATC service and plenty of traffic.

Enjoy one of total 4 IFR approaches or get yourself a spot as a small VFR aircraft between the big birds. VFR flights are still performed regularly despite the airport's size. This makes flying VFR to/from Zurich extremely interesting, but it's also a huge challenge which requires careful preparation. A lot of small airfields in the vicinity offer numerous possibilities for short VFR hops.

Zurich is a unique airport with a lot of operational restrictions due to noise abatement and its challenging layout. We know it by heart and love this airport with all its rough edges. And we are sure you gonna love it as well!

Almost every Tuesday we will also staff Geneva (LSGG) and Basel (LFSB) for you. Check out the bookings on vacc.ch.

Join our frequencies every Tuesday evening and enjoy!

Description

Ever wish you could experience a slice of some of the best scenery in the world in one ambitious and expansive adventure? Well, when VATSIM Brazil and vACC Switzerland team up, such a journey is always guaranteed. So come kick off the spring season by flying from Zurich (LSZH) to Sao Paulo (SBGR) and back.

Depart on the 21st of March from 10:00z to 12:00z to begin your epic trek with sun-kissed views of the thawing alpine peaks. Continue south west over France, catching glimpses of the Riviera, and head over to the Iberian Peninsula which will wave you farewell as you cross into the vast expanse of the Atlantic. Brazil will welcome you with open arms and verdant sights for an arrival into Sao Paulo and a turnaround from 20:00z to 23:00z. Fuel up, stretch your legs, and prepare for a return to land in Zurich from 08:00z to 11:00z on the 22nd of March just in time for vACC Switzerland’s largest IRL event of the year.

Feel free to pick only one of the legs if you should like, or prepare your fellow pilots and share your cockpits to be able to make the full journey if you are bold enough. This event will see you stretch your plane and your skills to the breaking point – are you up for the task?

Geneva – One by One

Description

Looking for the perfect mix of high traffic and a challenging airport? Last Friday night of the month? Put your kids to bed or place them in the right seat and start your engines, as vACC Switzerland hosts a new edition of one of its most popular events at Geneva International Airport (LSGG). Let us prove to you that size is less important than skill; with a single concrete runway, our controllers face the challenge of getting the timing just right in order to clear you to land just seconds after departing traffic’s gear has left the ground. Needless to say, expect late landing clearances.

Waiting at the holding point? Get ready to line up behind landing traffic or perform a rolling takeoff, as there is bound to be traffic on short final waiting for that late call from Tower. 

We are fully staffed and ready to get you in and out safely, one by one. We are up to the challenge, are you? If so, look out for the chain of landing lights on the ILS in Geneva, every last Friday of the month from 19:00z to 21:00z.
