Which VATSIM advise would you give to me?

[@teslotto]

great info, thank you!

[@kayta6141]

Rly useful video! I am gonna do my first vatsim flight soon and I am glad I watched this video. I haven´t thought about the fuel or callsign tips!

[@flightandfind]

Thanks!

Delta one... Lima one... Lima, Mike and November. I remember the taxi instructions you were struggling with XD

[@flightandfind]

Yeah

[@peppr-ovc]

Also at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="322">5:22</a> it was ATIS G, not metar G. Metar is a weather report independent of ATC. The controller gives ATIS which not only contains weather info but runways in operation etc.

[@flightandfind]

Ah, oops

[@peppr-ovc]

Don't worry, you'll learn too ;)

[@andreastz1190]

For the delta 1819 part, you can also simply say ''delta one eight one niner''

[@flightandfind]

Yeah, but US controllers will say 18 19 anyway 😂💀

Did my first flight and only had a few minor mistakes

[@flightandfind]

Good for you, lol

[@SFAviationn]

Also for more realism most of us vatsimmers fly real life flights with their callsigns so we cant ‘come up’ with callsign and it adds realism

[@flightandfind]

Yeah, but I said how I do it

[@petrullmann4892]

where can I find the questions and answers for ATC

[@flightandfind]

Idk

[@petrullmann4892]

@@flightandfind I mean the question and answer table for atc

[@flightandfind]

@@petrullmann4892 Yeah, I understand. Try VATSIM Discord or their forum

[@SmithWill-ox5qv]

Did you ever find out? I need this to

[@flightandfind]

@@SmithWill-ox5qv Actually, I found. These are the most ideal conversations (I don't say quite a bit of things from here to the ATC) forums.vatsim.net/topic/19867-made-a-list-of-what-to-say-to-atc-on-vatsim-for-beginners/
