** INFO **
In this video I show you how to communicate with ATC and what kind of phraseology (radio telephony) is used for an IFR flight with an airliner flying from A to B. I'm using a flight from Amsterdam to Frankfurt as an example. The phraseology shown in this video is pretty ICAO standard, but do note that there might be small differences in your country or region!

** WHAT IS VATSIM? **
VATSIM is an online flying network where people from all around the world can fly all over the world using their flight simulator. Pilots are guided by people who act as air traffic controllers. Pilots and controllers use real world aviation procedures and phraseology to simulate aviation with a high degree of realism.

First flight at EDDF , a night flight. There was an another aircraft taxiing to rwy. I talked to the controller on VATSIM for the first time!!! . His name was 'JAN' and as soon as I said I'm new, his reply was - "Don't worry, we all started one day!" And that gave me the confidence to move on VATSIM. At that time I had known nothing on phrasologies , he was the one who thought me everything .....

I like flying in and out of EHAM but on the IVAO network. Schipol has very hospitable and accommodating controllers. The one thing I only don't like about the airport is the long taxi to 36L when you're in line for departure hahaha

[@edwinrobert7192]

Hello Captain Evert. I'm currently on my way from KSFO to KSAN on VATSIM. Looking on Vattastic, i see that there is only a ground controller at KSAN. Like you said in the video, Tower can act as ground. But can ground act as tower or anything else? Thanks.

[@faustsmith]

Does ATC to aircraft pilot radio communications vary on the ground of an airport from airport to airport concerning receipt of IFR clearance on designated frequencies such as Clearance Delivery, Ramp, Ground, Apron and Tower? IFR clearances can be obtained from contact with any of these Air Traffic Control units above dependent on the ATC operational procedures in force at that specific airport. Does the pilot of an Airline have to be trained by the Airline as to which ATC unit to contact to obtain the specific clearance required at each airport?

[@samuelbergs9169]

its kinda good but ithink you should do a vidoe with an atc online so everyone could understand it :)

[@flyingwithsafvan3186]

Hi I just had a question if I want to create a route do I just go to maybe skyvector select VOR points and to the destnation but what if the runway changed

This channel is basically a private flight school teacher with no price, i know some people in my country taking a lot of money for just teaching this kind of stuff

[@danieldolezal8541]

Hello. Thank you for such a detailed and easy to learn VATSIM tutorial. I have a question what would be your procedure when the arrival completely differs from that you have programmed in FMC. I mean when the landing is due to radical weather change happening on another runway and approach is completely different. How do you change it in FMC. Is it that you simply select a new ARR in FMC? Or will you ask for vectoring?

[@AviationPro]

Thanks! You simply select a new arrival in the FMC, it will replace the one currently selected. You might have to remove some discontinuities in the LEGS page though. It often happens in the real world, so always keep it in the back of your mind that you might get another runway just before you start the STAR. If you are already on the STAR, ATC is unlikely to give you a new one and will probably give you vectors to the new runway.

[@simonforrest13]

Can you give me some advice please Do you have to programme the mcdu dor a specific runway to find the localiser to assist in an ils landing or donation just press the loc button?

[@horaziohorazio]

Thanks a lot for your videos. Absolutey helps to enter the fantastic world of aviation. Do you know of some kind of KI-software who may help to practise phraseology a little bit before becoming a big disgrace in "real" VATSIM world?

[@AviationPro]

You're welcome! Not sure about that, but don't be afraid to become a 'big disgrace', everyone has to start somewhere. Better yet, just practice by yourself, think about what you would say and just 'dry practice' a flight without actually flying ;)

[@alecmcd552]

What charts are you using that show the taxiways and gates? I've been looking for the right ones but I only find the ones that show the taxiways and runways and not the gates, and it doesn't show correct taxiway direction. You have probably mentioned this before but I didn't catch it.

[@sebastianriofrio3565]

thank you so much for this video, it's very helpful. I have a question, if in the descend the controller changes my ils and runway, what I have to do? I mean, how do I change that in my fmc?

[@AviationPro]

Thanks! Simply select a new STAR and approach, it should replace the old one. Remove any discontinuities on the legs page

[@sdeijio]

What if you’re at an airport and there’s only center do you contact them on ground and takeoff or use Unicom?

[@Jacobdead]

Any tips on anticipating departure procedure in EU? With US flights when I run the FP in simbrief I am given a departure procedure in the FP, but not for EU flights. It makes it hard to get clearance when I am not anticipating what departure they are going to say.

[@alexeypopov3903]

What is the difference between hold short rwy21 and holding point rwy21?

[@killz4money]

What should you do when you're about to start the approach and the controller hits you with "expect fewer track miles than planned"? Just slow down and hope that you can stay on profile in that case? And thank you so much for this guide, it's excellent to know who to contact and when.

[@AviationPro]

You're welcome! If necessary speedbrakes, otherwise just lower the gear a bit earlier than usual if your speed is too high for comfort, and you can also lower the flaps above the indicated flap positions on the speed tape, as long as it stays within the specific flap setting speed limit. In most cases it's a balancing act that you will learn over time :)

[@isaacpek4018]

Great video really helped a lot but do you know anyone who created some sort of checklist for the whole ifr phraseology procedure? If not do you mind making one because I always keep forgetting and have to refer back to this video which takes time to find the specific phrase. Thx a lot for making this video tho!

[@fredinator8164]

The Series is really helpful indeed! But there is something I dont understand: Wouldn't the Delivery Controller give you your initial Altitude? How do you know how high you have to climb after departing? Thanks in advance.

[@AviationPro]

You're welcome! At some airports you do get an initial altitude, but at others you don't. Amsterdam shown here has a standard climb altitude of FL60 on all SIDs, so it's not given with the clearance. You are expected to know about it by reading the charts. At other airports though, you do often get an altitude constraint for departure. The phraseology shown here is just the basic stuff, but there might be small variations wherever you go ;)

[@leohors852]

Hello, you make many good tutorials which are excellent. Hope you don't mind if I tell you "please youse the official lCAO Alphabet and speak only English. I guess many people who are just a beginner level studying from any books they learning the official ATC communication, and just to speak English is hard for them selfs. On the other hand, communicating with ATC is the most difficult thinks for beginners and when you stick Dutch or any other language into your presentation, may be it is confusing. However, you do a great presentation and hope there is no hard feelings after all. Thank you,

[@francescodegregorio3524]

Where I find the Delivery nunmber?

[@ParallaxRS]

Very noob question, but in the Aerosoft Airbus A320, I can only select like 121.790 or 121.815 for radio frequencies, when the ATC would specify 121.800. Anyone know if .815 would suffice, or whether it needs to be exactly .800? (and how do I get the .800 number?)

[@luigicorrado4198]

Hi, can someone tell me how can an atc give you a specific heading and flight level during your flight? When he can find these information? Thanks

[@kurtlovisa891]

Not sure if this answers the question, but ATC has access to radar that shows them altitude, heading, and speed.

[@Cod_-dh3et]

Great video helped alot but in clearance delivery wouldnt you say your aircraft type?

[@AviationPro]

Thank you! It depends a bit on the airport/region, it is more common at UK airports to mention aircraft type. You will get experience with time to see at which airports they like to hear that, other than that it might be mentioned in the ATIS or airport procedures.

[@Cod_-dh3et]

@@AviationPro thanks also one more thing is there a way to practice remembering what atc said because most of time i cant remember what atc say because they talk really fast

[@Uptrend-Goblin]

Hello AviaationPro, How and when to ask the atc to get a VOR/DME Landing instead of an ILS Landing? I would like to practice, but they automatically take the ILS approach every time. Thanks

[@AviationPro]

I would say as soon as you get in touch with the controller that has authority over your airport, so either Center or Approach.
