Norman Guffick 935816 Posted February 15, 2006 at 03:21 PM Posted February 15, 2006 at 03:21 PM I have recently p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]ed my Student exam and then requested mentoring, but with no response from anyone in my Division. Is there any restrictions at widening my search for Mentors? I am a willing learner, and would study any other local procedures etc., in order to start controlling.

Ruth McTighe 824054 Posted February 19, 2006 at 05:35 PM Author Posted February 19, 2006 at 05:35 PM Norman, this has been replied to in the Vatsim-UK forum. If you are still having problems, please contact your Regional Training Scheme Manager [email protected] And be aware you do need to give at least several days notice of when you would like a mentoring session.

Ruth McTighe 824054 Posted November 10, 2006 at 10:46 PM Author Posted November 10, 2006 at 10:46 PM Bager , there's lots and lots of stuff available for people training as VATSIM controllers. It's on the individual country/division websites as training and some of the procedures are specific to particular countries. I suggest you go to www.vatsim.net and click on "New ATC Start Here" which will tell you where to find it all. Which country do you want to train in?

Paul O'Donnell 969350 Posted January 16, 2007 at 03:00 AM Posted January 16, 2007 at 03:00 AM Hi Lakhbir, ok this is my 3rd attempt to posting this since my internet browser kept not responding. I'm not too sure about the USA system of ATC but from what I told Bruno the otherday seemed to be alright. In VATUSA you will join the VATUSA Training Academy and take your OBS-STU test, then you will be at Student1 level and will take all the relevant training. Then after your first initial training you will choose your top 3 choices of ARTCC and then be sent to one of the 3 chosen ARTCC's. So I guess your first choice would be Indianapolis ARTCC. Once you are at the ARTCC you will be able to begin controlling but your training will still be ongoing if you want to advance through the ranks. You will most likely start controlling on DEL (Clearance Delivery) and then work your way up to GND and TWR. Then once you are ready to move on to the radar positions you will take your S3 (Student3) exam and training etc. You can view the VATUSA Training Academy information here: http://www.vatusa.org/training/ This link here is some useful reading, on the right hand side of the page is the training notes for the relevant positions: http://www.vatusa.org/training/reference.html And incase you want to have a browse through the Indianapolis ARTCC website: http://www.zidartcc.org/ I wish you all the best in your training and hope you get your first choice in ARTCC.

Eduardo Passos Posted January 29, 2007 at 10:57 AM Posted January 29, 2007 at 10:57 AM Hi Have been flying FS awhile and just recently in VATSIM. Terrific!!! But I'd like very much training to be an ATC controller 1) Can I choose anyplace, anywhere or I'm tied to the real region where I live? 2) My ID will be se same or do I need to get another one? 3) Is there a specific voice sofware recommended for ATC work? Thanks Eduardo Passos VATSIM Supervisor VATBRZ Senior Controller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Chase 974571 Posted January 29, 2007 at 11:03 AM Posted January 29, 2007 at 11:03 AM 1) Yes, you can join any FIR in which you want to control 2) Same ID, the one you have now will be upgraded as you get promoted 3) The Controller Clients have a built in Voice client, so no need to download Roger Wilco, etc. Matt Chase VATPAC C1 /O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
