VATSIM ASIA REGION REPORT Q2/2020

Executive Summary

Asia has shown it has potential for continuous growth for once more. The “continuous improvement project” is running since late Q1-early Q2, aiming to further develop communities in various aspects. Examples are, technical development regarding sites of specific vACCs, initialization of a test platform

similar to HQ according the needs of specific Divisions (updates in future reports), sector file updates etc. Community wise, with new staff appointments

and vACC constitutions. Communication wise, with introduction of VATASIA Discord server, so now all Division and vACC staff members have the chance to

interact in real time. Initially this Discord server is being used for staff only and we are looking the potential to open specific channels for all members of

Asia. All Divisions, except VATWA, which is in search for suitable members for key staff positions, have a full staff board. The Region, as well as the local

community, supports VATWA Division to strategic moves that will enhance operations. Currently progressing in terms of ATC training, new member

retention, building communities. India vACC acting Director is bringing the vACC in balance and with proper assistance from local members India starts to

grow again. Activity has been increased to an extent with regular events, ATC coverage and group flights. New controllers graduated and training sessions

are organized. Pakistan vACC back to growth with a new vACC Director being appointed soon (with more info on this topic at the next Report). Sri Lanka &

Maldives VACC got their first Iron Mic award and new controllers make their appearance online giving life to the FIRs. Moreover, SRM has new staff

members appointed. VATSEA continuous the series of Light Up VATSEA events bringing all FIRs online with a variety of focus airports. There is a big increase

on ATC training, ATC coverage and each week CPTs are organized, with new controllers graduating. vACCs with less or not stable activity over past quarters,

have met substantial growth with support of local staff and members. Examples to name a few are VCL, Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore.

VATROC organizes regular events with neighboring FIRs-vACCs. Training is provided according to needs with currently new ATC students joining. VATPRC

starring this quarter with a series of popular events “Tour of China 2020” with multi-legs across the Division each week for the summer season and more regular weekly events. VATJPN has established the well known “East meets West” event with 4 featured airports and a vital part of new signup members Beginner’s event, which takes place every third Saturday and LOOK EAST! Event, in total of 9 events. ATC activity is boosted the last quarter with new and old inactive members joining. In addition, 17 new P1 rated members. VATKOR could not be missed from the list of successful Divisions, with full ATC

coverage, ATC training and monthly events. Communication plays a vital role and is well established not only among the vACC-Division-Region chain with all

Divisions of Asia, but also early signups up to experienced members receive proper ATC training and guidance according to needs. All Divisions operate

normally. The intra-Division communication is brought up to an upgraded level the last 6-9 months, with regular updates of new member’s appointments, rating upgrades, events coordination, announcements and much more. The “Specialists of ATC” Project has been growing with 40+ members and various Iron Mic achievements within Asia. We will start looking for expansion and partnership with other FIRs, possibly outside of Asia too. The Regional

organizational map is under review by the RD into creating specific support departments/positions according the needs of our community growth. This

includes ticket support. Planning and implementation into stages until the end of 2020.

Other Comments As in the previous term, the number of members has increased in this term.

One of the reasons is that not only new members have joined, but also senior members (e.g. CID : 8x, 9x) who were inactive have activated.

And the biggest reason which I think of is that we Japanese spent a lot of time in the house in April and May, because of the global

situation.

vACC reports

Hong Kong vACC

Overall

Hong Kong VACC has seen a significant growth in controller membership and traffic this quarter. Benefitting from the traffic increase, we were able to host a good number

of events which were well received by pilots. Also, during this quarter, we inaugurated S1 and S2 courses within the HKVACC training center, which is an online learning

platform based on Moodle. This increased the efficiency of training on theories for the VACC.

Indonesia vACC

Overall

Indonesia vACC has improved significantly this quarter. We optimized some fundamentals such as new plugins in sector file, new website design, implementation of new

authentication with IDvACC Bot to our Discord server, and many other things. During this period, many new students signed up for the ATC training, however not all of them

could pass the S1 theory test. We have started to train students using sweatbox sessions, so that they could control well under high traffic load. Thanks to a lot of free time,

the older students can build up controlling hours in a short time, thus there were 12 passed CPTs during this period. We also made significant changes for the event, such as

holding more events at minor regional airports. We do this in order to not only utilize the major airports but also utilize the smaller but important less known airports in

Indonesia. We do this also to not be stagnant with only Jakarta and Bali but there are still many places to be explored in Indonesia.

VATSIM West Asia Division

Quarterly Report Q2 2020

DIVISION SUMMARY Q2 2020

Quarter 2 for 2020 has rather seen a successful and one of the busiest Quarters the division has seen over the recent Quarters. With the recent and on-going pandemic of COVID-19

membership activity have been high across the division.

The division would like to welcome back Mr. Raihan Shahzad from extended leave from the beginning of the year until the end of May due to travel restrictions but would also like to thank

Mr. Brodie Murdoch for stepping in over the past months as Acting Director and Regional Director Anastasios Stefopoulos for the on-going support during Mr. Raihands absence.

Compared to the last Quarter we have seen double the online activity from both pilots and Controllers with most days having at least some form of controlling activity happening within the

division. At the start of May the VATASIA Specialist Project managed to earn over 200 controlling hours within Nepal vACC and managed to achieve 1 iron mic award for Approach. The

Division thanks the Project and its controllers for the manpower and on-going support to Nepal and to the Division.

ATC Training has doubled and even tripled in some vACCs for this Quarter with the recent increase of activity. This has limited the manpower and resources to some vACCs and some delays

have been seen. While the delays are not major the Division is seeking ways to support the vACCs to minimise the training workload and reduce as much delay time as possible. Also with

recent changes in staffing to some vACCs this has contributed to the delays but yet are minor.

Once again we would like to send our thanks and gratitude to all members domestically and internationally for their efforts and dedication to the West Asia community and to VATSIM.

Kind Regards
