I recently sent a form in on the VATPAC site, to be trained as a student ATC. I never recieved a reply to that e-mail nor to the several others I have sent after.

 

Is somethig wrong with the server, or should I just send the form again?

Hey Steve

I am pretty sure you need over 50 observing hours though

Steve,

 

A few changes are happening at VATPAC of late.

 

Send an email to rob (AT) vatpac (dot) org explaining your request and I am sure he will email you straight back.

I have already done that 2 days ago and am awaiting a reply.

 

And I feel I don't need 50 observing hours as I have about 40 real life hours.

Great you have had real life experience.

 

Part of p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]ing through the first stage is understanding how the programme works. Without that all the pre-knowledge is useless.

 

Good luck with it all.

Steven,

 

Matt missed out the important part of the 50 hrs. From the VATPAC site:

 

As a general guideline, if you are new to the on-line environment and have no real world aviation qualification then you should have:

 

A minimum of 50 hours on-line as a Pilot/Observer before considering the ATC role.

yes sorry steve but its very rare a lot of time to get real pilots/ATC around as thats why we can use flight sim. I forgot you were a real pilot I remember helping you setup . BTW has AVC been fixed or are you still getting them errors???

No, AVC still isn't working, though I'm sure it's the firewall. Going to open some more ports I found in the ASRC manual tonight. Hopefully that'll work.

 

And yes, I'm now nearly a student ATC!! Just trying to figure out how to use ARSC properly.

G'day Lakhbir,

 

Simply go to www.vatpac.org - in the menu you will see Training | ATC Training | Introduction.

 

From there you will find the things that are required and the method of applying for some mentoring. If you have any difficulties please yell.

Hi Lakhbir,

Welcome to the OCEANIA Region of VATSIM.

You will need to join the VATPAC Division within OCEANIA to be able to provide ATC services or to undergo the training for ATC.

Go to www.vatsim.net |Member Services|Select a Division|Paciific(PAC). This is VATPAC.
