Landing Manchester (EGCC) VATSIM BA2910

Real world call sign is the SHT2910 for UK domestic flights.

Busy session at Manchester where Manchester Radar is working the radar as well as the tower duties.

My flying is by no means perfect, but I hope the footage gives new pilots a rough idea of what to expect, when flying a IFR approach into a busy airport on VATSIM.

  • can someone explain to me what VATSIM is exactly?? How does it differ from FSX?

    Nice video.

    What are the requirements for being a controller in VATSIM. Are there shifts or what goes on??

  • @connellrocraymond

    It is a network you log into so you can fly with each other.

  • VATSIM seems so hard, is it easy to get the hang of, i mean im good at flying in flight sim its just all the talking. looks like fun though and another question i have. when flying with VATSIM will you see all the other people using it flying around and is a strong internet connection required ?

  • @elliottk94

    Just practice. I think it helps if you get familiar with an area, getting to know the frequencies, SIDs and routes. If you prepare well things generally go smoothly.

    Yes you see other planes, which are generated in Squawk Box, or FSinn. AI traffic should disappear and VATSIM traffic should show up in it's place.

  • Vatsim is more real too because the controllers have to pass exams before they can control on the network and all controllers have a rating starting at S1 (starting student right through to C3 Senior Controller. They also have Instructors on the network and to prevent kids missing about there are always a group of supervisors to remove trouble makers from the network that seem to find it funny to crash planes instead.

  • VATSIM is totally different its not kiddy multiplayer.

    You dont have to pay, and about 900-1000 people can be on at any given time.

  • Everytime i fly in united kingdom i have a hard time trying to talk cause ive never talked to a british person its hard to understand them over vatsim

  • which aircraft u choosed?

  • @windh Not a proper low visibility Cat III down to minimums. I landed manual, for the last mile. Just got established.

  • @SoadaroW obviously not...

  • @donnchadh5 QNH is the altimeter setting at the moment. Setting the altimeter to QNH gives you height above sealevel, the altimeter needs to be set correctly near airports, on approach etc because actual air pressure is constantly changing. It's like calibrating the altimeter to read correctly, with QNH (most common) it will show height above sea level, so @ an airport at 100ft you will touchdown with the altimeter reading 100 ft. QNE shows height above field so you will land at 0 ft showing.

  • @donnchadh5 qnh..air pressure

  • whats Q&H >?

  • @joolsd thank you for your help it is much appreciated !
