1) VATSIM Pilot Academy - http://academy.vatsim.net - is now operational, offering a P1 pilot rating course to help with the high demand that our Authorized Training Organizations (ATOs) are facing. A new (P9) CFI rating will also be offered and taught only by the academy. For more information regarding the Academy and the P9 rating, contact Max Lye (VATSIM Pilot Academy Director) at [email protected]. In order to log in into the academy you have to use your VATSIM CID and p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word.

 

2) The new Pilot Training Department (PTD) Web Application - http://ptd.vatsim.net - the one stop shopping place for everything related to pilot training including an ATO roster, statistics and a backend interface for all ATOs to handle the promotion process.

 

3) P6-P7-P8 rating development, will soon begin in parallel in the forums, with an ETA of October 2014. By that time all the rating requirements will be complete and available for the ATOs.

 

4) The PTD is actively seeking people to create an ATO audit/quality [Mod - Happy Thoughts]urance evaluation team responsible for the certification of ATOs and the yearly reevaluation of their programs.
