Thanks for watching! If you're watching this in 2023 and beyond... please note that some things have changed in the mean time on VATSIM, and also in the real world! Please consult the latest documentation on the VATSIM website and the Cross the Pond pilot briefings/livestreams for the latest information on how to Cross the Pond on VATSIM! This tutorial may be a bit old, but is still useful to gather a basic understanding of all things oceanic. Do note that some procedures when you're in the air have changed/modernized! 🏅If you enjoyed this video, please consider becoming an AviationPro channel member!

Your description of why long hauls are cool and "worth flying" at the beginning of the video was spot on. The feeling of TOD into JFK after an 8 hour flight from Charles de Gaulle is unparalleled. Great video overall :)

[@AviationPro]

Haha thank you :) I indeed think many (virtual) pilots will recognize that feeling :D

[@zakups7777]

AviationPro - I personally hate long haul flights. Everything over 4 hours is just boring for me, especially when there is no atc online. Starting the flight and beeing afk until the decent. Knowing that your Pc runs and Takes energy all the time. Where is the fun? #nohate #easyquestion

[@AviationPro]

I know, it's just nice to perform such flight every once in a while. For me personally, on average only 2 long hauls a year. I always try to learn something about aviation during cruise time, cook a nice meal or whatever, do some house or homework. It's for those days where there's just nothing else to do or when it's raining outside all day. Luckily, I don't have to pay for electricity or depending on the location of my flightsim PC my flights are actually solar powered :D

[@boahneelassmal]

regarding training position reports: when flying domestically and there's no controller online give positionreports on unicom. With the shorter distance between waypoints I tend to give two waypoints with arrival time and the third without. It will train your confidence in position reports and increase situational awareness for surrounding aircraft....

is the procedure different if I fly the Concorde? besides the obvious fact that I will always use Tracks SM/SN.

[@robwilson1853]

Thanks for a very informative video. Out of curiosity, when you have crossed the pond and are handed off from Oceanic freq's to the domestic freq do they issue you with a new squawk code? Or do you change (yourself) from 2000 to the squawk code you were originally issued at departure when you leave the track system?

[@AviationPro]

You're welcome! They do indeed. If there's no ATC, you just switch yourself back to the default squawk you were originally asigned or, if none, just use the default Squawk code.

And what if there is severe turbulence or thunderstorms on a nat tracks and need to change level very quickly ? And if u wanna do a westbound flight, during the eastbound nat time ( early on the morning for example) and if we wanna avoid jet-stream, how we are supposed to operate ? And also, does it mean also that the aircraft position on fl24, when aircraft are crossing Atlantic, is based on the report message of the pilots ??

[@Quasartone]

Hi AviationPro. First of all, thanks a lot for your very useful and amazing videos. Then, sorry for my incorrect english speaking (not my native language by the way). I wanted to mark a red spot on a bug that was very annoying on my first flight with my brand new 777. Indeed aftet take off i noticed false informations with ETA and Fuel status in the FMC. After double checking, the aircraft was set correctly and this is a known issue with PMDG 777. Pretty easy to fix anyways. Load a Default State Panel and customize it. Configure the State you want and save it as a new STATE. Now select this new customized State as the default. That s it ! Many others comments confirm you can also load as default the Cold and Dark State and there is no problem. However this State in real life is not common for an aircraft life. Hope it helps.

[@AviationPro]

Thanks for watching! I know there's a problem with the panel states, but from what I know they actually released some updates a few weeks ago to deal with the problem, but not sure if it's still there.

Hi AviationPro, thank you very much for this incredibly usefull video, as always ! I have a question some of you may be able to answer to : is there any procedure for South Atlantic crossing ? I have to perform a Paris - Caribbean flight, without even crossing a part of a NAT. Do I have to ask for an oceanic clearance ? Do I have to report my position ? Or to set my squawk to 2000 ? I spent like 1h30 to search on the internet, but unfortunately unable to find any info. I'm wondering if it's simply because there's no procedure ? I'd like to be sure, so I assume you're the best I can ask to. Of course, if anybody knows the answer, any help would be greatly appreciated :) Thank you very much for your help, and your fantastic videos :)

[@luciano6970]

Thank you for your video, but I still have 2 questions regarding flight planning: Do you know if it's possible to request a higher Flight Level than the bookin sais ( I got 320, but usually stepclimb a lot higher on oceanic flights) and do you have to still file the flightplan on Vatsim even if you got the Route, the depart. time and the Flight Level on your booking? Cheers Luciano

[@AviationPro]

You can always request a higher level, but given it's very busy during Cross the Pond, it's very unlikely you'll get a higher level, so best is to simply stick to the level provided. Stepclimbs within NAT tracks themselves are rare I believe. And yes, you still have to file a flight plan :)

[@AviationPro]

Simbrief is actually a great alternative, provided you have the latest AIRAC cycle. PFPX profiles might be more accurate though and finding routes is easier with PFPX. In my opinion the QW787 is worth it, provided they start working on the issues posted in the forum :)

Hi friend, I have a question .... the regulations and procedures for the oceanic flights in VATSIM are the same that in real life? Or there are some differences? If they are, it would be awesome If you make a video about the differences of VATSIM and real life.

[@AviationPro]

They should be relatively similar, however in the real world much more use is made of datalink, not much is done via voice anymore, but the basic principles should be the same.

[@gt55115]

Just wondering, if the delivery controller instructs you to a higher altitude and speed, when do you climb to that altitude and increase your speed?

[@luciano6970]

Initially I suppose, and if unable due to performance, you either stepclimb or say you are unable to comply. (E. G. it exeeds your max lvl or sth, but thats highly unlikely

Is flying KORD-PHNL considered flying over the pacific? Because I'm planning this flight to do on VATSIM, but actually I don't have coordinates, I have normal waypoints and normal airways to reach Hawaiis. Do same procedures apply?

[@AviationPro]

Technically it's Oceanic airspace since there's no radar coverage. From what I know the clearance you receive on the ground at, in this case KORD, is also your oceanic clearance since you're flying via airways, but no seperate oceanic clearance is requested upon entry. You still need to squawk 2000 though. Here's some more info: static1.squarespace.com/static/596bbb38197aea69ddd026de/t/5a86d71ff9619a7edffe0f6c/1518786335943/30+West+Oceanic+PAC+Checklist.pdf

[@stevesumner9988]

Good morning. I stopped watching at 27 min. into your vid., so you may have touched on this later. After your creation of flight plan , the ETOPS circles did not overlap. When I try to create a plan ,I get the error from PFPX about the ETOPS. What do you do to correct this, or is it necessary ? Thank you. S. Sumner

[@AviationPro]

That’s correct, later I make them overlap by selecting a different alternate. To make it go green you have to make sure the entire route is within ETOPS. So also the end of your route, that’s why I later include my alternate KPHL as an ETOPS airport, otherwise the end of the route was not within ETOPS range.

[@stevesumner9988]

Once again, I put the cart before the horse. I should have kept watching. Well done explaining.

It's a shame that xSquawkBox does not feature SelCal at the moment. Many X-Plane 11 Payware addons feature their unique SelCal-Code, but there is no way to use it at the moment :(

Unfortunately it seems like I won't be able to join that day :(
