With all of New Zealand back in Lockdown, lets take to the virtual skies for a return of Open Skies!
Tonight the skies really are the limit: our activity is concentrated on NZZC - the entire mainland New Zealand airspace!
Controllers can take their pick of any positions they're rated to staff. Pilots can choose any flight or flights they want to take.
The goal is to cover as much of the country as possible with ATC service, and the challenge is then to our pilots to keep the controllers busy all evening.
