Sebastien Bartosz Posted August 19, 2009 at 08:37 AM Posted August 19, 2009 at 08:37 AM Here is my famous response to people that say "No ATC is online" when there is in fact ATC online (the Netherlands included): You must be blind...

Sebastien Bartosz Posted August 19, 2009 at 09:53 AM Posted August 19, 2009 at 09:53 AM Try download programs such as: ServInfo VATSpy If you already have those programs, maybe you're just looking at the wrong time.

tom van der elst Posted August 19, 2009 at 10:14 AM Posted August 19, 2009 at 10:14 AM Hallo Peter, check out http://www.dutchvacc.nl for the booked times of dutch atc, they have quite a strong presence between 20.00 and 22.00 many evenings. You can check the bookings in vroute as well I believe. Also,don't forget it's high summer so most controllers are outside as are most of the pilots. cheers Tom.

Freek Vandeursen 1101105 Posted August 19, 2009 at 08:31 PM Posted August 19, 2009 at 08:31 PM As Tom said above Peter, you have most chance of finding ATC online between 20:00 and 22:00 local time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freek Vandeursen 1101105 Posted August 20, 2009 at 09:49 AM Posted August 20, 2009 at 09:49 AM Peter: on dutchvacc.nl click on "Amsterdam info" in the menu. There you will find if any ATC has booked for the current day. Just keep an eye on it during the day, often controllers book somewhere in the afternoon. Looking forward to see you on Schiphol.

Wycliffe Barrett Posted August 20, 2009 at 12:07 PM Posted August 20, 2009 at 12:07 PM Peter You don't only have to fly in the netherlands. You can fly anywhere in the world as VATSIM is a connected network. The UK only being a short hop away you could quite easily fly from any of th eairports in the UK over to Amsterdam, or vice versa.

Sebastien Bartosz Posted August 20, 2009 at 06:29 PM Posted August 20, 2009 at 06:29 PM Spot on Peter. Usually in their ATIS they say which airports they're covering. Mostly the major airports too. Remember: If you see Centre's online but not in EHAA, and if you're at an airport in the EHAA FIR, they can't give you service.

Jonas Eberle Posted August 23, 2009 at 02:53 PM Posted August 23, 2009 at 02:53 PM That might have been EURM_CTR. Especially for this: read the Controller Info to see what he is controlling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey De Graaf 1120687 Posted August 31, 2009 at 09:32 AM Posted August 31, 2009 at 09:32 AM you can also use Vroute.net you can see where and when ATC is online, how many pilots are flying and you can make and book a flightplan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
