This event will take place on Sunday 27th January from 1800Z to 2200Z with VATeir teaming up with VAT FRANCE for the first in a series of 3 events leading up to the hugely popular St. Patrick's Day event.

OPERATIONS

• - SID & STAR data for both Dublin and Nantes can be obtained from the chart links above, and for FMC SID Data we reccommend going to www.navigraph.com.
  
  - Pilots flying from/to Dublin should note that taxiways Foxtrot1, Bravo2 and Apron Taxiway 3 are closed. Full details and a map showing these taxiway closures can be seen here: http://www.vateir.com/forums/index.p...4.msg5793#new.
  
  - Make sure to download the stand chart from the link given above as these stands will be allocated by ATC as they match both default and IFSD scenery, which the current AIP chart does not.

On behalf of VATeir and VAT FRANCE, we look forward to seeing you all on Sunday 27th January as both regions provide their best in ATC while you fly between Nantes and Dublin!
