Upcoming Events

The Class D Spree

2024-05-17 23:59 UTC - 04:00 UTC

In accordance with CPS-002 2.3.6 solo endorsements are not authorized for use during events. Exceptions must be approved on a case by case basis by the Training Administrator.

Join the West Coast's finest for a regional FNO featuring Class D airports! There are no featured fields for this event. Pilots are encouraged to see what airports are open at the start of event time, and fly between them! Make an appearance at each host ARTCC with a long coastal flight, or make milk runs around your favorite small fields! The options are endless for The Class D Spree.

With this unique West Coast partnership, we hope to showcase some of the underappreciated western airports, Pilots are encouraged to fly realistic routes amongst event ARTCCs, and our skilled air traffic controllers will provide professional ATC. We look forward to seeing a web of flights!

Note: Pilots conducting flights to/from SEA/PDX/SFO/OAK/LAX/LAS may be subject to delays to prevent congestion of unstaffed airports. We suggest loading in at event start at a staffed field, and flying to another staffed airport. Airport staffing will not change throughout the night, but airports will not be announced ahead of time.

For Controllers: The way this FNO is formatted is that to the pilots all they know is that ZOA ZSE and ZLA is staffing Class Ds, they don't know which airport. We will staff HWD, RDD, and MCC, as featured fields, same as normal for events. If extra controllers wanna staff other deltas then feel free to do so, as I've put every Class D in the signups but to reiterate, sign up for HWD, RDD, and MCC first.
