VATSIM Elite Wings
Think you’ve got what it takes to handle complex airspace and high-traffic operations? Elite Wings is here to put your skills to the test! On *May 3rd*, starting at *18 UTC*, this edition offers an exhilarating journey from Ascension Island (FHAW) to Saint Helena (FHSH), featuring two unique airports with rich histories and distinct challenges. This isn’t just a flight—it’s an experience. Depart from Wideawake Airfield, also known as RAF Ascension Island, is a military airfield jointly operated by the Royal Air Force and the United States Space Force. Established during World War II, it played a crucial role in transatlantic flights and anti-submarine operations. Pilots departing from this airfield should be vigilant of the surrounding hilly terrain and weather! Then, brace for Saint Helena Airport, opened in 2016, located on a remote island in the South Atlantic Ocean. The airport's construction was a significant engineering feat, involving the filling of a valley with approximately 800 million pounds of rock and soil to create a flat runway. Pilots should prepare themselves for challenging approaches due to the airport's location and the region's unpredictable wind conditions. To maintain a structured and realistic flow of traffic, slot booking is mandatory. Make sure to reserve your departure time [here](https://booking.vatsim.net) in advance so you can participate. Bring your A-game, because controllers will expect you to be sharp with procedures and quick with readbacks. If you're ready for a realistic, high-traffic challenge, this is the event for you. The skies are waiting—are you up for it?

Geneva One-By-One
Looking for the perfect mix of high traffic and a challenging airport? Last Friday night of the month? Put your kids to bed or place them in the right seat and start your engines, as vACC Switzerland hosts a new edition of one of its most popular events at Geneva International Airport (LSGG). Let us prove to you that size is less important than skill; with a single concrete runway, our controllers face the challenge of getting the timing just right in order to clear you to land just seconds after departing traffic’s gear has left the ground. Needless to say, expect late landing clearances. Waiting at the holding point? Get ready to line up behind landing traffic or perform a rolling takeoff, as there is bound to be traffic on short final waiting for that late call from Tower. We are fully staffed and ready to get you in and out safely, one by one. We are up to the challenge, are you? If so, look out for the chain of landing lights on the ILS in Geneva, **every last Friday of the month from 18:00z to 20:00z**.
