Upcoming Events

D - ZID Event: Superbowl 2012 [2/04/12]     22:00:00z   -  03:00:00z


It's here. The Superbowl is being hosted in Indianapolis this year which means ZAU gets a prime spot to help host this annual event. As a border to the IND TRACON, we will need to be on our best game providing Center coverage as well as C90 and MKE. If Green Bay makes it to the big game, we can probably expect a number of aircraft coming through our airspace if pilots choose to depart from Wisconsin. Let's be ready.

E - Snowball Fight! 2/11/2012 [2/11/12]     00:00:00z   -  04:00:00z


The more aircraft depart our airspace for MSP, the more points we get. The more aircraft come from MSP to us, the more points ZMP gets. Satellite fields will act as shields. If we knock out all the MSP satellite airports, we automatically win regardless of the number of operations. However, if they knock out all of our satellite airports, we lose. It'll be a battle of snow and ice. Let's staff up and give it our best! ALL INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND HERE: http://www.zauartcc.org/forum/index.php?topic=2521.0
