VATSIM中华人民共和国分部就南沙群岛团飞事件的公告
VATSIM P. R. China Division Statement on Spratly Islands Group Flight Incident
官方声明
OFFICIAL STATEMENT
VATSIM中华人民共和国分部（VATPRC）对我分部某飞行员使用军航呼号PLA708在WSJC新加坡飞行情报区以及VVTS胡志明飞行情报区进行军事飞行活动的消息深感震惊。稍后我们了解到，有10名左右的飞行员驾驶未正确填写飞行计划的民航客机前往南中国海海域，某邻近分部数架疑似军机作出回应并接近民航客机所导致。
我们对此事件深表遗憾，不过我们也想在此澄清几项有关事项。首先，VATPRC与此次团飞无任何关系，并没有组织或支持此次飞行。此次团飞仅为飞行员的个人行为。和所有VATSIM分部一样，VATPRC不参与任何真实世界中的政治或军事纠纷。其次，对于有人声称关于我分部管制员擅自上南沙某机场管制席位的说法一事，我们已详细查询VATSIM统计中心，发现该管制员以及VATSIM上任何管制员都未登录过南沙群岛有关的任何机场管制席位。
我们再次为此次事件对周边分部带来的不便深表歉意。我们会努力提升我分部飞行员遵守VATSIM及有关空域各项规章制度的意识，避免类似事件以后再度发生。
VATSIM People’s Republic of China Division (VATPRC) is shocked by the news that a VATSIM pilot belonging to our division utilized the military callsign of PLA708 and conducted military activities within WSJC Singapore FIR and VVTS Ho Chi Minh FIR, outside of VATPRC airspace. We later learned that this is a result of 10 pilots flying civilian aircraft with improper flight plans into the South China Sea, and a few aircraft which resemble military ones from another division responded by approaching the civilian aircraft.
While we are deeply sorry that this happened, we do want to clarify a few key aspects. First of all, VATPRC is in no way involved in this group flight, and did not promote or endorse this flight. It is solely organized and conducted by the pilots. Like all divisions of VATSIM, VATPRC is not involved in any political or military disputes in the real world. Secondly, regarding to claims that one of our controllers tried to control a facility on the South China Sea and that airspace is within Singapore Radar’s jurisdiction, we have checked VATSIM Statistics Center and found that neither the named controller, nor any controller on VATSIM, has controlled any position related to the Spratly Islands.
Again, we are sorry for any inconveniences this may have caused to other divisions. We will spare no effort in increasing the awareness regarding codes and regulations of VATSIM and related airspaces among our pilots, and prevent such incidents from occurring again in the future.
