General Discussion

Hello and welcome to everyone interested in the United Kingdom Division of POSCON! I have created this forum to explore the possibility of releasing a division for United Kingdom during beta testing. The only way we will release with this division is if enough people show interest, so get all your friends to join this club and make sure that they stay active! If there is enough interest and discussion, we will devote our resources to creating the necessary infrastructure. We are going to need your help though with sector file construction and writing procedures! If you have any interest in helping us write this material, please email [email protected]

Hello guys, i would love to start creating SOPs for the Uk division. I would really need a hand in making those SOPs as there a many on the list in the FIR. So if you want to help please just pm me. Thanks!!

The UK has quite a few airports that are not within "Britain" as such, like LXGB Gibraltar, LCRA Akrotiri, EGYP Mount Pleasant, FHSH St Helena etc. What would the intended status be of these sites from a controlling perspective; would they fall under a UK division, or the local one, such as Cyprus for LCRA? Additionally, one of the complaints i've been informed of from VATSIM is that controllers from the area around one of these fields, such as cypriot or Spanish controllers find it difficult to get approved on these positions, in part due to a different system, although I can assume other factors are present.

just wondering if there is anything since the start of August that is new to poscon. Many thanks Callum

Hey, So i joined POSCON not long ago and would like to be a Beta tester, I've looked around for a while but found no instructions other than on the Home page. Any help? Ramy

Does POSCON intend to add the "Major Airport" and "Special Center" designations as they are used on VATSIM? These designations, once applied to an aerodrome or sector, require a user to undertake additional, location-specific, training before controlling there. This is usually a differences and special procedures theory course, followed by 1:1 training on the particular position.
