Vatsim Air Traffic Controlling

[sargent787]

How would i become atc in Vatsim

[ZSEAMarion]

@sargent787 Depends which division :p

[cdub10071]

Nice job. Take it to the next level though. Stop saying ahhhh , Clearance on request means stand by so stop saying both together, he called you for a clearance so don't ask if hes ready to copy. He called for it. Why wouldn't he be.

[RenoDoctor]

Pretty darn good for 13 years old. The US airspace system beholds ATC to a lot of useless, needless confusing, VHF-wasting info in the IFR clearance and approach phases. In Canada, when a pilot files a RNAV STAR fp, ATC assumes are RNAV-equipped. A lot of ATC-pilot interaction is mutual faith/assumption.

[joker1031000]

how can i get it cause i passed my test but i dont know how to get it

[JFAD09]

not trying to be critical but you did say the alt, just didn't catch it the first time, my apologies. I usually issue the current alt setting before taxi instructions. Also I heard you say "Taxi to" that term isn't used anymore. Just some helpful advise, its ie: Rwy 22R via E2 , E , E1. The "taxi to"phrase was dropped about 6 months ago along with the position and hold, not that I heard you say position and hold but just so you know. It sounds more professional when you use correct phraseol

@JFAD09 This was uploaded in 2009...

[JFAD09]

That was a good clearance delivery, I am also a vatsim controller at ZHUARTCC (Houston). I'm not telling you how to do your messages but I typically add the current altimeter setting in with the readback. Its not required but I guess it's my way of doing it.

I'm working on major ground for KIAH then once I get that, I'll be working on tower. Good job!

[Southwaltonscene]

How do you know the winds and get the Flight Plan like at 0:50

[hakan737]

@Southwaltonscene

Well I think there is no "winds" information at 0:50,controller says "expect FL280 10mins after".But answer of your question,VATSIM using a common weather data source both side ATC/pilots.This datas updates every15 minutes(30mins delays of real life).ATC radars just see winds and diection but pilot side process thats data with some weather programs freeware or payware (paywares much better for realism).Every pilot must be filled a valid flightplan which can be seen by ATC

[DiamondPilotDan]

ok i just downloaded VRC and i need help figuring it out.. as well as audio stuff. can you tell me like everything you know about it? i havent started my training thing with miami ARTCC yet or whatever.. im a real pilot. help me out? :)

[bajesus666]

@DiamondPilotDan the VRC website has a ton of information. I just got my S3 yesterday and i still dont know everything about it

[DiamondPilotDan]

can you tell me how to do this stufF? i just got assigned to MZA ARTCC and i havent downloaded anything yet etc. any tips would be great thx

[jackop9111]

What radar client is this ? doesn't look like VRC or Euroscope...

[bajesus666]

@jackop9111 that is VRC 

[drcodyjones]

Good job bro, just a few nitpicks. You might want to learn your airports more, as saying "Bravo November Alpha" isn't as good as saying "Cleared to the Nashville airport via blah blah blah" and the departure frequency isn't " blah blah blah decimal blah" it's "blah blah blah POINT blah". Good job though bro :) I'm a controller in training myself.

[kuitwer]

@drcodyjones Decimal is more appropriate

[drcodyjones]

@kuitwer The ATM and DATM at ZDV on VATSIM have a cow if you say decimal. I think it does sound better though.

[PRPirateL]

Is Vatsim still active on fs2004?

[b58f18]

@PRPirateL yes! VATSIM is connected with xplane fsx and fs2004. they are all in the same network. and it is active for sure

[PRPirateL]

@PRPirateL awsome it doesnt matter anymore my fsx finaly arrived by mail heheh. now just gotta figure out how to get da whole vatsim to work

[heissbari]

Do you need fsx or anything else similar to that

[CathayGuy]

I love saying "See Ya!" when switching frequencies! So much fun! Only a few times have they actually said "See Ya!" back though :( Great video I need to fly to Columbus more so I can hear you!

[crazypilot123]

@NWA97 Whats the VATSIM training like? How long does it take to go through it all?

[96chrissyboy]

wow you pro

[MajorYT]

What's with the CYA~? XD

[boeing4100]

what is this is this a game

[MrStevethepilot]

@boeing4100 This is vatsim, A private server for any Flight simulator. This is the place for most realistic flights to occur. Im an ATC in Canada in Vatsim.

[masterman3178]

from a pilot on vatsim you did a great job. one thing i hate is some controllers get an attitute if you mess up just a little bit. im a real world pilot as well and even i still screw up from time to time.

[fgcarva1]

I hate how whenever I OBS at VRC no one uses talk communications.

[ugyen345]

Do you need FSX for this?

[nikthepilot]

i'm 13, and i can Use The ATC Thingy like u do, :D I yust Started on VATSIM Today ^^ I Flew 2 Routes.. with No Errors.. Anyhow u do AWESOME ur better than me, xD anyhow, have fun bro...u still doin' this??? and What Session u on??

[NWA97]

@nikthepilot Cool, what flights? Im currently an S3 approach controller at New York, certified for LaGuardia Approach, as well as Kennedy Ground.

[nikthepilot]

@NWA97 1. from Billund - Copenhagen

2. Manchester - Belfast

The First one was Done With the HONDA JET

and The Second was done with the Cessna Citatation XLM ;)

Safe Landings bro...

[UltimateGuitarist17]

I also get a bit PO'ed when kids like you can do all that and i cant even make simple clearance's to land or take off without sounding like a complete amateur lol

By the way mike would you rather become a pilot or air traffic controller considering how much controlling you do on VATSIM?

[NWA97]

@UltimateGuitarist17 personally, i would like to be a controller, but i am also working on my PPL :)

[piloty5]

@NWA97 wut rating r u planning on going to

[UltimateGuitarist17]

Very Professional. I wish i could do that!

[alex2mitch]

@AirMayrVA Yes thats what I thought.. Mock the british all you like but what can I say? We evented Concorde and the americans tried stealing the idea.. :L proves my point..

[NWA97]

@alex2mitch Im S3, NY_APP, Brian is a C1, KC_CTR, and I can assure you, that this is the correct phraseology for FAA, please, lets not start anything here, but dont tell me I am controlling wrong when you dont control in the USA and are apperently unaware with our procedures.

[alex2mitch]

@NWA97 I don't recall saying you were controlling wrong? build the facts up before prejudging, otherwise when it comes to it you look like a moron accusing someone with no evidence.. I also find it weird within the space of 10months you've gone from an S1 to an S3/C1.. strange.

[Title27GT]

You can't tell a guy to expect radar vectors if UNICOM is the departure frequency.

[NWA97]

@Title27GT yes you can.

[alex2mitch]

@NWA97 No you can't, you're a non radar position

[NWA97]

@alex2mitch yes you can,"Radar vectors" in a clearance is an ATC term that is used when an aircraft is not on a SID, so even if there is no radar on, the pilot must get himself to his first waypoint. this is considered a VATSIM-ism because in the real world, there is a radar position on, however i can assure you that this is correct for VATSIM and is for the most part accurate per real world standards.

[deltafan909]

Ahh, good ole controlin at COLUMBUS at "zee-eye-DEE" with no TRAFFIC! COLUMBUS!

[JustAnOrdinarySimmer]

the end is flawlass....CYIP!...CYA!

[sam1975heavy]

You're good kid....better than a lot of older controllers.

[BHS391]

@sam1975heavy other than the whats your equip suffix? fms, gps or anything else lol

[IRproductionstudios]

roger?

[lonewolf88]

what program are you using for the atc?

[airplanecrazy1989]

ok question so there's not always towers at every airport?

[alex2mitch]

@airplanecrazy1989, Nope you'll find their are GND controllers on a at an airfield and no higher ATC(TWR,APP ect) because You have to be trained for each position. #Sometimes theres more S1's than S2's in divisions.

VATUK EGKK S2 controller(London Gatwick Tower)

[SWVA7683]

Nice!

VATCAN - S1

[deltafan909]

How did you record both your voice and Brian's? I can only record my voice.

[BHS391]

CYA!

[JustAnOrdinarySimmer]

@BHS391 CYA!

[anush10]

try to say airpot name in clearance and instead of saying departure on unicom say "departure offline".

nice job, it's awesome seeing people post their controlling sessions on youtube
