That is all that you have to do, nothing to it. I used to get that, so I started to just go to a major airport and just sit and listen in on the lingo, especially like clearance delivery. I did that at KATL. Yea, listening in is a good idea, I've also done that. Make sure to remark you are a "newbie" in your flight plan comments, ATC is very understanding (99% of them  ). Did anyone participate in the EDDF Frankfurt Real-Ops event yesterday? That was insane!

QUOTE(DeltaBoeing727 @ May 19 2007, 05:42 AM) [snapback]117209[/snapback] I am a HUGE VATSIM goer. I am an ATC at Los Angeles too. I fly daily all around the world to places like EDDF, UUEE, KSFO, PGUM, but i havnt taouched Asia yet, i dunno why not. Im scared of Russia now, bad bad experiences! I am extremely willing to help any FL350 member with any problems with their first flights or first connections or anything. Click "email me" on my profile ad i'll schedule a slot with you. I'm more than willing to help anyone with anything. I know a lot lot lot about VATSIM, and am an S3. Questions? Ask! I do have one question. Is it hard becoming a controller? I've been thinking about it at my home airport LSZH (Zurich) but I dont know if it's worth the trouble.

I've been thinking about it at my home airport LSZH (Zurich) but I dont know if it's worth the trouble. Im not entirely sure about Europe. In the US, it's not hard...it's just time consuming, and i assume it would be over there as well. I have a European firned who is ATC and he said he got promoted in close to no time, but that's just for local control. (TWR, GND, DEL). And he does UK Airspace, not Swiss. If you're looking at becoming LSAS_CTR (Swiss Radar) than you're looking at at least 4 maybe 5 months. But it's a great experience, i love love love it. I definetly think you should go for it. No doubt you'll start off as Ground, but you could propably be Director/Arrival within the next 2 months. Let me know how it goes.

I'd be aiming for LSZH_TWR / LSZH_APP not neccessarily LSAS_CTR  Wow I never thought it was a matter of months!! Glad to hear that its a lot of fun though In Europe you have to pass tests (i'm guessing its the same everywhere). The date of a controller's test gets posted on some forums so that theres sure to be some traffic to keep one busy.

I have to go with VATSIM, because IVAO just seems like a ghosttown all the time, nobody's ever on!!!! I fly in IVAO and I can say there's almost always much more traffic and atc than in VATSIM. At evenings there is around 900-1000 atcs and pilots online. If you view traffic by Servinfo, I recommend to change to Dolomynum on IvAe, 'cause Servinfo do not show anymore IVAO traffic. I recommend you to test IVAO, visit in www.ivao.aero
