New Runway Operations Tool
The FAB at ZOA has released yet another online tool to help make flying in ZOA as realistic as possible to our pilots. The new runway information tool allows pilots to looks up what runways are in use at KSFO at any given time when no controllers online. However, if there is a controller online, it is his responsibility to determine the runways in use, so the page will inform you to contact the controller for current runways in use.

How To Fly The PORTE3 Departure Without Turning Right
One of the most widely used departures in the Oakland ARTCC is the PORTE 3 departure from San Francisco Int’l (KSFO). This is mainly because it’s the departure you’ll get when flying SFO-LAX, which is one of the most popular routes on VATSIM. However, too often pilots either don’t know the procedure and go directly to their first fix, or load it up from a preset DP in their pay ware aircraft’s FMC, which often ends up being incorrectly programmed. Whatever the reason, it often leads to pilots turning right instead of left after departure, and having near head-on collisions with landing airplanes. In this article, you will learn how to fly the PORTE 3 departure correctly, without turning right.
