NOTAM: Southwest Virtual will be hosting a landing competition at Atlanta Heartsfield-Jackson Int’l Airport (KATL) on Saturday, October 13, 2018 from 2100-2200Z. Participants will takeoff, fly a pattern, and land. You will be given one practice touch-and-go before the final graded landing. Pilots will be graded on their second landing, criteria for grading is; Smoothness (10 pts.), Centerline (10 pts.), and Touchdown Zone (10 pts.). You will be graded by 3 judges. Your three scores will be averaged for a final (ranking) score. Some landing competitions can turn into a huge mess; everyone sprints to the runways, no pattern separation, and just total chaos (yuck!). To make sure this does not happen, we will be providing specific pushback, taxi, and pattern instructions. Callsigns and liveries will be assigned to further distinguish pilots for our judges, and ATC will be provided to ensure a coordinated and smooth event. This will be a team effort. We ask any pilot who joins us to be aware of posted NOTAMs and to follow ATC instructions. We look forward to everyone joining us, please comment below for a gate!

There is no flightplan per-say, but I have uploaded a map of the surrounding areas. You are responsible for maintaining proper separation between aircraft at all times. We may have an extended final so that everyone can get off the ground. Please be aware of your surroundings and ATC instructions at all times.
Official Gate Assignments will be announced later on, however, you can still (and should) sign up now. I will place your name below, and will contact you with your gate assignment on October 12.
