VATSIM United Kingdom invites you to spend the evening with the Heathrow Air Traffic Controllers, on the evening of Friday 24th February starting at 1900 GMT and finishing no later than 2100 GMT. This is open to every pilot, of every division and virtual airline.
The reason why we are holding this evening is to help pilots understand what is going on behind the scenes at VATSIM’s busiest airport. We hope to provide considerable insight into our operation and explain the reason behind some of the more obscure requests that we regularly ask of pilots.
We are not intending to teach anybody how to control, instead inform, educate and hopefully entertain those who wish to learn a little more about the airport that VATSIM’s pilots fly from most regularly.
This evening will involve a presentation, hosted and delivered on our Team Speak 3 server.
Hosted by Samuel James, Heathrow RTS Manager and Tom Bewick, Heathrow RTS Instructor, there will be plenty of opportunities to ask those questions that you’ve always wanted to know the answer to.
There is no need to RSVP your attendance, please just connect to the VATUK Team Speak 3 server around 1845 GMT and find your own way to the room, “Meet the controllers: Heathrow”.
VATUK utilises sophisticated teamspeak access software which connects to your VATSIM CID and password. Please get yourself set up with VATUK’s teamspeak well in advance to avoid disappointment due to technical difficulties. This can be done here: http://www.vatsim-uk.co.uk/website/teamspeak/
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to get in contact with me. pilot.training@vatsim-uk.co.uk
Get ready for one of the biggest VA-Events on VATSIM! The original VA-Meeting will be back at March 3rd, 2012. vACC Switzerland invites all VAs for a trip from/to Zurich. Together with various vACCs, we offer high quality ATC service between the heart of Europe and our partner airports.
All sort of traffic is warmly welcomed, IFR and VFR, Pistons, Props, Jets and Helicopters. We will find for all of you a parking at Switzerland’s busiest airport. Even if this event is specially made for VA’s, you can of course also fly without being a member of a VA. For IFR-flights please use the booking system to reserve your slot.
A special challenge for VAs is to bring as many pilots as possible to Zurich. We will paint one of the aircrafts of next year’s flyer in the colours of your VA! If you are a VA pilot, please ensure that your VA already has been registered in order to assign you correctly and count your flight for your VA.
So, start your engines and we’ll see you in Zurich at March 3rd !
