Do take a look at this link to know who to contact to set your home vACC. If you are not certain about which vACC to choose, take a view of the EUD vACC List. After the vACC has been set by the EUD membership Department, you can request for ATC training sessions with the local vACC training department. Enjoy!

Stefan Weiss Posted July 9, 2021 at 01:33 PM Posted July 9, 2021 at 01:33 PM Hi, I also have trouble getting started as ATC in Europe. The links provided all lead to the VATEUD main webpage which doesn't seem to contain any useful information. Thanks for you help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan Weiss Posted July 9, 2021 at 04:56 PM Posted July 9, 2021 at 04:56 PM I gotta ask: What's a Vacc? (As I mentioned, the link provided doesn't contain any info.) Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Training for Zurich is handled by vACC Switzerland, https://www.vacc.ch Training for Munich is handled by vACC Germany, https://vatsim-germany.org Both of those have instructions on how to get started on their website. As for flexibility: Initially you will only be able to control at your home vACC. Once you have progressed in your training you will be able to visit other vACCs/ARTCCs as a visiting controller (c.f. https://www.vatsim.net/documents/transfer-and-visiting-controller-policy).

Wiktor Sobaszkiewicz Posted December 30, 2021 at 03:02 PM Posted December 30, 2021 at 03:02 PM Hello, This might be a stupid question, but I cannot find any information. Do I have to own any of the simulators to became an vATC or do I only have to install all the ATC software? Greetings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further to Rob's comment, you would install whatever ATC software your training organisation needs you to. You will need to be a member of a Division and sign up with that Division to start ATC training. They will answer all your questions. :) Alistair Thomson === Definition: a gentleman is a flying instructor in a Piper Cherokee who can change tanks without getting his face slapped.

The side Nav is blank. Just realized the little nav icon on the bottom right of the screen on mobile is to open up a right Nav with all the links. I expected this to be shown in the left Nav under the hamburger icon and the left side Nav comes out. Who ever though the right Nav with an icon on the bottom of the screen was a good idea probably shouldn’t be building web experiences for the public. That’s government level inefficiency. please make that right Nav show up under the hamburger Nav so that normal people don’t go insane submitting questions on where to find things.
