Mark Trumble Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 On Sunday, November 11th, from 2200z-0200z (5pm-9pm EDT), the Toronto FIR and the New York ARTCC are partnering to present a crossfire between John F. Kennedy International (KJFK) and Toronto/Lester B. Pearson International (CYYZ). Join us Veterans Day evening as controllers from both sides of the border manage flights between the two facilities (and don't forget to correct for Daylight Savings)!

Brad Crockett Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Great event, YYZ. I was a little worried while flight planning as there was NOBODY online, but everyone showed up in the nick of time. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Dowling Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Hey Brad Thanks sir! You were not the only one who was a little nervous. We seem to do well with "nick of time" LOL Great event, YYZ. I was a little worried while flight planning as there was NOBODY online, but everyone showed up in the nick of time. Congrats!

Jeremy Peterson Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 From New York ARTCC, Thank you all to those who participated in making this event happen! I realize the traffic volume wasn’t quite as high as some events but for a Sunday evening, I think it went well. When ZOB went offline and I asked for routes to avoid the airspace, CZY controllers adapted quickly. I hope to see this level and easiness in coordination in the future!

Travis Chan Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Hats off to all the controllers at the event. I arrived late and decided to fly instead on my first flight ever to JFK, it was a blast!
