Philip Conduin Posted July 30, 2022 at 08:44 AM Posted July 30, 2022 at 08:44 AM Hi All, I'm about to take my first vatsim flight and would like to fly circuts. I've been looking at the map to see where I can do them from. Do I need to stay away from certain airports or can I fly from anywhere? Are there any other stipulations? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filippo Genoni Posted July 30, 2022 at 08:55 AM Posted July 30, 2022 at 08:55 AM Well, Welcome to VATSIM first of all! In general, at the beginning, avoid airports such as LHR, FRA, ATL, BOS, JFK etc. For circuits every small-medium airport should be fine. I suggest doing circuits with a TWR controller online so you practice well the phraseology also 🙂 Hope this helps, Filippo, 1 FILIPPO GENONI S2 - Morocco vACC (VATMENA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
