Christmas Break 2022

Dear members and guests,

After an eventful year and a busy season of events, we felt it best to allow some time for our members to celebrate the holiday season among family and friends. As such, vACC Switzerland is taking a Winter Break from the 20th of December 2022 to the 10th of January 2023. Though no planned events will take place until our return on the 10th (starting the 2023 season with a Zurich Night), training of our ATCOs still takes place and certain CPTs and Checkouts have been scheduled in the mean time. Please find below the key exams dates as of now;

- 28th December 2022, 19-21z, S2 TWR Checkout Niki Bischof,
- 30th December 2022, 19-21z, S3 Approach CPT Marco Bähler,
- 7th January 2023, 18-20z, S2 TWR CPT Simon Tiziani.

Support during these exams as traffic is highly appreciated and we thank you for your help and already good luck to the trainees!

I want to sincerely thank our members for their dilligent support, hard work and loyality to our association.

I wish all our members a merry Christmas, a happy New Years and a joyful holiday season!

Summer Break 2022

After a busy first half of the year, vACC Switzerland is proud of its successful events and engagement from fellow members. In the view of planning the second half of the year, advancing existing projects and allowing for some downtime for our members, vACC Switzerland will be taking a summer break from the 5th of July to the 16th of August.

Below you will find some key dates for the break:

5th July, Zurich Night
29th July, Geneva One by One (only event during the break)
16th August, Zurich Night

The new season of events will begin with a Zurich Night on the 16th of August, after which all our regular events will return. We are also pleased to announce a new edition of our Staff The Minors event. The now staple Transversal Thursday events will resume on the 15th of September in agreement with our French partners.

We have many exciting and promising plans in sight for the second half of 2022 and are eager to share them with you in due time. Until then, we thank you again for your engagement and wish you a most pleasant summer break!

Summer Break 2021

Dear Pilots and Controller

As holiday season is approaching in Switzerland and hopefully some weeks of nice and warm weather, vACC Switzerland will make a little Summer Break in terms of events. After the Zurich Night from 29th June there will be no event until Zurich Night from 10th August.

So the next weekly/monthly Events from vACC Switzerland are

Zurich Night: 10th August 2021
Alpine Crossing: 12th August 2021
Geneva - One by One: 27th August 2021


This only means that are no events organised. There will still be ATC coverage at Switzerland, check out the bookings on www.vacc.ch on the right side.

Enjoy the nice weather until then and see you back on 10th August at LSZH!
