Are you sick and tired of not having a choice into where IFATC control? On behalf of the IFATC team, we are now giving you a chance to express your opinion weekly!
A poll will be provided below every Monday and closed early Saturday.3 options will be available each week for all community members to vote for.
This week, Singapore has been voted in
Expect the Singapore region to be active with IFATC after 0000Z Sunday the 6th. Please don’t expect this change to happen straight away as the region switch will occur when time permits.
Would this just for controlling on that Sunday or will be voting for region for the week? I.e. Vote during the week for your favourite region ( out of the choice) which will then be controlled for the following week Sunday to Sunday?
By having a known solid week being controlled would really help to ramp up the realism as both Controllers and Pilots would be able to learn that region in depth as well as discover new parts of a region that they previously knew.
Controlling a region for a week might seem good but personally and on behalf of a few controllers I think it’s fair to say that after a day you kind of get sick of the region as a controller and as a pilot. This poll is to decide what region is open each Sunday and not any other days. This is to give more choice for the pilots as it is you who we serve.
I applaud IFATC for reaching out like this, but for the record I’m just glad that they volunteer the time that they do. I always assumed the regions were on some sort of rotation?
