Zurich Night

Times

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

From Alpine peaks to Mediterranean shores, Transversal Thursday is heading south! Join the French vACC and vACC Switzerland on Thursday, the 12th of November from 19:00z to 21:00z, as we connect Geneva (LSGG) and Marseille Provence (LFML) for another cross-border evening.

Leave the shores of Lake Geneva behind and set course for the Mediterranean coast, or head north towards the Swiss Alps. Whether you're departing from the heart of the Provence or the gateway to the Alps, enjoy an evening of traffic between two scenic destinations with ATC coverage along the way.

Whether you're flying IFR, VFR, or joining us behind the scopes, prepare your charts, choose your route, and join us for another Thursday across borders. See you in the skies!

Geneva – One by One

Times

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.
