Hey guys I have a slot for the CTP event going from KBOS-LPPT. But I’m going through New York ARTCC which I know does not require oceanic clearance, but after when I pass through that sector, I’m going through Santa Maria oceanic which does require oceanic clearance. So my question is, is that when you pass through New York oceanic. Am I covered for Santa Maria or do I have to request oceanic clearance there and a SELCAL check?
Please use the CTP discord for these kind of questions.
Regardless, the answer is that occ clearance request is only needed for the FIRST oceanic sector you entry, and valid for the entire portion.
This is a simplification done for the event and may not always be applicable during normal day-to-day operations
To directly answer your question, you do not need any oceanic clearance if entering via New York, SELCAL can always be done when you get transferred to a new Oceanic Sector, but normally if you do it on the first one, you know it works and don’t need it further
