Dear All,

I would like to draw your attention to this piece of new develop in Asia.

With years of preparation, the VATASIA mainland China development team has managed to complete all the work needed to establish a new division in VATASIA, which will become official on July 1, 2010. This new division, named VATPRC (VATSIM People's Republic of China) and will be the largest in VATASIA, consists of nine FIRs (Beijing, Guangzhou, Kunming, Lanzhou, Sanya, Shanghai, Shenyang, Urumqi, Wuhan) along with hundreds of airports at various elevations, from the Himalayan Mountains to the South China Sea, and from Tibet Plateau to metropolis of Shanghai and Beijing. All pilots, whether they are flying a VFR flight over
mountainous terrain or a long-haul flight from any of the Chinese city to Europe or America, are provided professional ATC service by the controllers at VATPRC.


Please visit our website for Chinese scenery package downloads, useful airport information and charts, general flying procedures and more at http://www.vatprc.org. See you in VATPRC airspace soon!!

Cheers,
William Woo
VATSIM Asia Region Director
