For anyone from ZLA in regards to CalScream6.

[B777ER 2,486]

Could you guys from ZLA post on your web site maybe which center controller to contact when entering your airspace. I know you all break it up such as LAX_A_CTR, LAX_B_CTR, etc... During event CalScream5, I had no idea which CTR to call coming in from the northeast (SLC which was not manned). Thanks.Eric

Eric, and everyone:As a guide for contacting CTR when not previously in contact with ATC, here is the sector plans for hi-altitude space for ZLA and ZOA:LAX_A_CTR 135.30 handles traffic from Socal to/from Bay Area and all the ZLA oceanic.LAX_B_CTR 127.10 is small U-shape the handles TTE, EHF vors and LAX to LAS.LAX_C_CTR 133.20 faces ZAB for BLH vor and above and handles LAS to LAX.LAX_D_CTR 135.25 faces ZLC/Salt Lake and handles LAS to/from ZOA.LAX_E_CTR 119.95 faces ZAB from BLH vor south and covers San Deigo area.OAK_A_CTR 128.70 faces LAX's "A" and handles Bay Area to/from Socal and handles Oakland's oceanic traffic.OAK_B_CTR 126.85 handles LAS and SLC to/from the Bay Area and Reno.OAK_C_CTR 128.80 faces ZSE Seattle ARTCC to/from Reno and the bay Area.Note - if we do not have enough people to totally split - some of these sectors may become combinded.Jim BartoshZOA ARTCC Chief

By the way, don't worry if you fly out of ZAB - CTR will be manned by yours truly for most of the event - PHX, ABQ and TUS should all be up as well...

Jim, Ryan and Ryan, thanks for the info. That was exactly what I was looking for. See you all there (DAL483).Eric

Ah yes, I believe I've had you in my sky a few times (or at least the callsign of DAL483 sounds familar.) :-)Ryan-Flightpro08 :-coolVATSIM Pilot/ControllerZLA ARTCC Controller 1 (C-1)SAN TRACON Lead [link:www.taxiwaysigns.com]Taxiwaysigns.com Scenery Designer-----------------------------My "Home Made" System Specs:Intel Pentium 4 2.2GHz ProcessorTurbo Gamer ATX Mid-Tower with 420W Power SupplyEPoX 4G4A Motherboard with Intel 845G ChipsetVisiontek XTASY GeForce4 128MB Ti4600 (Det 40.41 Drivers)512MB PC2100 DDR RAM40GB Matrox 7200RPM Hard DriveWindows XP Home Edition*No CPU or GPU Overclocking*3dMark2001SE Score: 11298
