Man, I've always been amazed by the multitasking skills that most ATC posses. Thanks for the showcase from a controller's POV! It's really cool to see how things work from this angle.

Thanks! We get used to be able to multitask, just getting into a flow of it

EGKK is my favorite airport. ATC here always polite for beginner pilots, English with no accent of speech and easy to understand. Nice job, keep it up.

I've always enjoyed departing and arriving in EGKK when I used to fly in the sim. Great ATC, very polite and easy to understand.

I’m always super interested in this stuff for some reason. This was fun to listen to in the background. I had some game awhile ago that put you into an airport and it could use voice commands to direct ai aircraft from a controller POV. I wish I knew how to even remotely do this stuff because it seems like so much fun

I used to have that game too - Tower3D Pro? It's stressful but fun as well lol

Excellent controlling. But my goodness, that VATSIM layout graphic looks like it was made for a 1980s pre-windows computer. Surely VATSIM can update its airport diagrams to be better than a 640-480 commodore display with yellow blobs for aircraft and almost unreadable taxiway markings!

@thevatsimcontroller Жыл бұрын

Aren’t really meant to be readable markings, we’re meant to memorise them. This is similar to what an IRL ground controller would see also.

Unfortunately we cant hear each other no. We can talk to other on TeamSpeak but that controller wasn't on there. Hopefully I'll see you around!

@@thevatsimcontroller hopefully to get a clearance from you someday whenever I fly in Europe again. I usually fly in America that's why. That is very unfortunate that the Tower did not want to go "TeamSpeak" but then again he didn't seem very energetic mostly very focused, he was a good Tower though!

Hi there, good job on controlling gatwick! its a busy area and it tends to get quite intense so well done. Just a suggestion for your viewers on youtube and twitch is to put on some music in the background. It's very audible to hear what you are doing in your room. Thanks again for controlling 👍

@thevatsimcontroller Жыл бұрын

Thank you for the suggestion. Agreed - should be able to sort something out for next time!

@wings4passion Жыл бұрын

Thanks for sharing! Why do some of the graphics on your map look a little "comic-y?" Like the aircraft icons for example, and some of the gate markers seems not very straight. Just wondering.

@thevatsimcontroller Жыл бұрын

Aircraft icons are what would be seen IRL as well as everything on the screen. The gates are also drawn from IRL, where they are not uniform to be able to accommodate varying types of A/C :)

I think it was 5-7 months around that time followed by 2 months of training. Then about 10 hours of experience to start to train for EGKK and then training for the EGKK endorsement took 2 months.

I like to play on vatsim but I am too shy to play on that Network. Do anyone have some Tips for beginners?

@thevatsimcontroller Жыл бұрын

Watch some videos and learn the phraseology. Start at small airports with not much traffic. We were all in that situation and trust me, you won’t regret pushing that push to talk, but you’ll regret it by not pushing that button! So much fun!

@Emilijanandre08 Жыл бұрын

Is it hard to be a controller? been thinking of trying it out. Ofc start on smaller airports

@thevatsimcontroller Жыл бұрын

Depends. You get trained up pretty well but takes a while. It took me 2 months to train for Gatwick and many sessions. It’s difficult with traffic like this, but we like a challenge!
