Greetings from the ATM
Hi, and welcome to the website of the VATSIM Havana FIR, a member of VATCAR, VATSIM Caribbean Division. Here at virtual Cuba we do our best to simulate real-world ATC in Cuba while we provide a fun, relaxing, Caribbean environment. There are many civil and military airports on the island, allowing for a fun time no matter what you like to fly. With home of many beautiful reefs and beaches, including Cayo Largo, the Havana FIR provides great geographical coverage. Whether you want to fly the Cessna VFR around the island, or whether you want to fly your Cubana jet to the island, Havana FIR is here to serve you!

**Note: Many Caribbean Airports have limited Gates/Parking, it is suggested that "Crash Detection" is turned off. If you use FSPAX or other similar programs, please load these programs "offline" then connect to VATSIM for departure or upon arrival, disconnect then unload using these programs. This helps ensure there is space for other aircraft since parking may be limited at some airports.
Many airports also require backtrack for landing and departing runways, If you need to backtrack, please expedite your movements so the next aircraft can depart or arrive with minimal delay. Please be prepared for possible Gate Holds, Holding Patterns or possible Diversions to alternate airports.
Please check in advance the size of aircraft that can be accommodated at the airports your arriving and departing from. Many airports throughout the Caribbean are unable to handle larger aircraft, Turboprops are common for flights from Island to Island while larger Jets are accommodated at the larger airports.
