Sebastien Angelo 1207120 Posted October 6, 2011 at 04:04 AM Posted October 6, 2011 at 04:04 AM Hi! i've joined VATSIM after tling with a friend of mine. I know nothing (or so) about flying and simulation. i'd really want to learn and do ATC. i've downlaoded the VRC program but I need a little help from there. and as my english is ok but could be better for that part i'd like someone that speak french to teach me as this part is really the main line for all of what is to come. Thx guys and hope to talk to you on flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board of Governors Tim Barber Posted October 6, 2011 at 04:09 AM Board of Governors Posted October 6, 2011 at 04:09 AM I would suggest that you make your way over to http://www.vatcan.org and click on "Become a Controller"...that will start you on your way. Make sure you indicate your desire to be [Mod - Happy Thoughts]igned to the Montreal FIR. Welcome to VATSIM!

Brian Fuller 973577 Posted October 6, 2011 at 12:13 PM Posted October 6, 2011 at 12:13 PM I hear you there. You get excited about something then have to wait for replies. Just don't let the desire fade. In the meantime, try to read some of the controller docomeents found on the VATSIM website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Wheeler Posted October 6, 2011 at 12:13 PM Posted October 6, 2011 at 12:13 PM You have to graduate from the VATCAN NTU before you can proceed to your home FIR. No getting around that. VATSIM: P1|C3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean Morissette 857169 Posted October 7, 2011 at 04:10 AM Posted October 7, 2011 at 04:10 AM Hi, Sebastien. If it's not already done with someone else, you can write me via my E-mail, for us to give each other our phone numbers, if you want to talk "voice", to practice your french ? Circulez sur Tango, et attendez a l'ecart de la 24 gauche. That is what I did in the real CYHU St-Hubert airport. Now flying from/to CSB3 St-Mathieu-de-Beloeil, in a rented Cessna 172N. Blue skies, cieux bleus ! I'm not driving too fast..!? I'm flying too low! SEE the DVDs "What the BLEEP?! down the rabbit hole!" P4, 2.6ghz, 1Gb RAM, 256mg ATI Radeon. Here's Juliett Echo Alpha November, over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Thomson Posted October 7, 2011 at 09:55 PM Posted October 7, 2011 at 09:55 PM Are there not two separate things going on here? Sebastien wants a Francophone to help with translating the VRC system, but Jean seems intent on discussing ATC phraseology. Which needs to be learned in English as well as the ATC officer's native language.

Jean-Francois Desrosiers Posted October 11, 2011 at 12:32 PM Posted October 11, 2011 at 12:32 PM Hi Sebastien, You for sure will need to have a knowledge with both french and english phraseology. Although, you can be [Mod - Happy Thoughts]igned to a french mentor/instructor for your training in the NTU. Once the NTU training is completed, you will find the training lots easiller if you still wish to join the Montreal FIR Team. If you would like to have a french instructor [Mod - Happy Thoughts]igned, please don't hesitate to email the NTU Manager, Eldon Wilson (eldonw [AT] xplornet.com). Bonne journée ! Jean-Francois Desrosiers Controller - Montreal FIR VATSIM Network Supervisor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
