Controlling will take a substantial amount of time. Controlling involves a good amount of training (I have been at ZNY for 3 years almost and am still training. Albeit that is not a normal length). It will pay off though if you take the time!

yeah, it's taken me about 4 months to get to training on APP, that's in ATL though/ It will go bye soon though. I went through the academy with a single teacher so I got my own lessons. VATUSA now has whole cl[Mod - Happy Thoughts] sessions. Good luck with your ATC career on VATSIM.

Thanks,

Good deal Josh... Let us know how we can help.... I think that you will find a lot of people in the academy and instructors across VATUSA that are more then available and willing to help you.... There is a great bunch of people here.

David, the Deputy Training Director is the person that does that... I'm sure that he'll be in touch with you soon.

Hi guys,

 

I have also just applied to become a contoller. I currently control Boston Tower and Approach on another network; I'm not sure if I can say the name of it here, so I won't risk it. I'm excited, but a bit confused. I got an email saying that I should take the test, but I don't know where to find it.

 

Thanks,

Sam

Nevermind, I found it. When I copied and pasted the URL, I had the period in there and that's what was messing me up.
