Lewis Haldenby 974268 Posted November 10, 2006 at 04:30 PM Posted November 10, 2006 at 04:30 PM First of all, I wondered if you can listen to any frequency on VatSim from anywhere? Eg, could I listen to LAX if I'm at London City? Secondly, anyone doing any IFR flights this weekend around the UK? The reason I ask is because I wanted to listen to someone doing an IFR so I can build up my confidence on the radio when flying IFR, and get a better feel for it. So, it kind of relates to my first question, so if I started at an airfield, could I listen to someone flying IFR as they change frequency?

Nigel Spink 811859 Posted November 11, 2006 at 06:05 PM Posted November 11, 2006 at 06:05 PM Hi Lewis, I would suggest that the best way to observe aircraft and their interaction with ATC is to connect as an observer using an ATC client. Have a look here http://www.vatsim-uk.org/training/index.php for information on connecting using either ASRC or VRC. By connecting in this way, you can listen to multiple frequencies, and actually observe the 'blip' of an aircraft as they respond to ATC instructions. Hope this helps, Nigel EGTT RTS Manager ATCO London Area Control Centre (Swanwick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
