VATSIM ATC Controlling | MASSIVE AFTERNOON RUSH! | EGKK_GND

[@toffifeemannen]

So good learning listening to this and to understand what to expect when online. Just started flying online, after 4 years of building a full size 737 sim. We hade two trips most was on unicom. But we hade one trip with tower online. Never been so nervous 😂 was calmer when I took my driving licence..

[@ItsCDB]

Mate just had the exact same thing done 2 flight previously most on Unicom then coming into Luton with tower online was scary 😅

[@SBragg88]

This is awesome. My mum did ATC many decades ago.

[@thevatsimcontroller]

Ah nice. Hope this is somewhat near IRL!

[@Bram_van_Munster]

I have watched only a few videos to see what you VatSim guys are seeing... I got a whole new appreciation! Let it be clear you guys have to be absolutely mental for doing this kind of job! Who on earth - except VatSim controllers - is able to do this, and succeed daily?? It is not curtious to curse, but DAMNNN you guys got a tough job.... Let's all cheer 'm on with a Holy Well Done!!! Thank you for existing Sir, I'll gladly fly into EGKK, knowing all the work that is being done when the radio is not transmitting... Signed: PH-BVL, currently doing a trip around the world in a C172, I'll be there in a couple of weeks....

[@thevatsimcontroller]

Appreciate the kind words ❤️

[@cpallot1]

BAW983 here, you have been online controlling quite a lot when I've been flying; you always do a fantastic job! This was certainly busy, I would love to be a controller, but it can be very demanding sometimes from what I've seen!

[@thevatsimcontroller]

Thank you! Glad you enjoy my controlling!

[@gizmo104drives7]

I came here seeking to learn atc commands and the order in which its given and try to pick out the information in what seems a huge jumble of letters and numbers. I had massive admiration for pilots who can keep an ear on the radio and pick out the data useful to them amongs flying the plane and navigating Now i have an even bigger admiration for the controllers who bring it all together. It seems never ending fast paced and extremely streasful but its an amazing watch

[@thevatsimcontroller]

Thank you! It takes practice though. We do it because we love it too!

[@khrenaud]

Interesting video giving a feel for what it's like to control a busy airport with a mix of seasoned and inexperienced Vatsimmers.

[@ABRouleauville]

Love the oppsie moment EZY104 did at 51:00 - did you just shake your head at seeing that?

[@thevatsimcontroller]

I did indeed. Common occurrence though lol

[@badsneakers917]

You did a really good job. I’ve never tried this but I would have struggled a bit because some of the pilots really don’t speak clearly (not referring to accents but the mumbling). Very interesting to watch!

[@thevatsimcontroller]

You get used to it. Just part of the job!

[@Lionbillyluco]

Wow!, I didn't know it was that complicated!

[@matte_rasso]

Nice, can’t wait to watch it

[@stachu1027]

love ur videos m8 good to binge watch

[@thevatsimcontroller]

Thank you!

[@toddgilbey3979]

You may well be controlling me sometime. I regularly fly out of here. Just started watching & I don’t think I’m here but I’m sure we’ll ‘bump’ into one another 👌

[@omarrajamanar7255]

How can I start as a VATSIM controller? I have worked as an ATC but dropped to continue my studies abroad and I don’t want to forget what I learned

[@OneLabToRuleThemAll]

What does the "GO AROUND" button do?

[@boahneelassmal]

when vacating 08r via CR is a turn right on AN hold short P acceptable before contacting gnd? I always feel very uncomfortable holding on CR short of 26R...

[@thevatsimcontroller]

As long as you clear the runway exit its fine. Usually the tower controller will tell you an initial taxi before you contact ground

[@boahneelassmal]

@@thevatsimcontroller that was always the case on 26 operation (J short of S, or R, depending on the controller) but with 08 operations, I never got a initial taxi. i just don't wanna bock rapid exit CR especially when spacing is at a minimum. :/ In general, doesn't matter where I fly to, I hate stopping on the immediate exit taxiway...

[@TheAcousticCitizen]

1:17:16 getting spicy with the numbers

[@RhapsodyOTS]

Jesus what is going on with these pilots🤣

[@maximonkey0622]

Hey! Do you also stream? I am a tower controller at EHAM but I love to watch streams of vatsim controllers whenever I dont have time to control myself. Wish you the best in your VATSIM controlling career

[@maximonkey0622]

I just found your twitch ':D

[@superjet1007]

Pleases the eye and ears =)

[@A380_Aviator]

Bro can you tell me how to become an Air Traffic Controller on the VATSIM network ? I have tried so many times to do it, but there is no one to help me. I tried to do it first in VATMENA because I live in Kuwait, then I tried in VATWA because India is my hometown. But nothing worked. And there is no option for ATC training in both of these vACC's websites

[@thevatsimcontroller]

Not part of that VACC so I'm not sure how they do it. Try following the instructions here: vatsim.me/new-members. If this fails, I would send a message to the helpdesk :) Hope this helps!

[@TheAviationYoutuber]

just a small question, i have never tried vatsim and have one question that might get me into it, do you have to talk or can you communicate via a chat with the ATC?

[@thevatsimcontroller]

You can text chat. However voice chat is preferred. If you use by text, you will not be prioritised.

[@TheAviationYoutuber]

@@thevatsimcontroller ah ok thx

[@windyturtle737]

How long was the wait time for ATC (UK)? Website is saying 6-12 months :0

[@thevatsimcontroller]

That’s how long you’ll be waiting then :)

[@RafTsolakidis]

Which client are you using?

[@thevatsimcontroller]

Euroscope

[@finnaira3208]

What atc client is that?

[@thevatsimcontroller]

Euroscope

[@realDaxtrose]

WTF was up with that RIC008

[@AllenPortman]

I am lost out the gate to what you are doing at the beginning of the video??? I need to go read and study!!!

[@thevatsimcontroller]

Just setting up the software :)

[@VetskuGaming]

What happened with the video quality :(

[@thevatsimcontroller]

You can change it in settings. If you are on auto it will be lowest automatically

[@thedoctor4637]

The highest quality is 360p. FYI

[@thevatsimcontroller]

@@thedoctor4637 that means HD is still uploading :)

[@TheMightyHams]

@@thevatsimcontroller 🤞it uploads soon

[@VetskuGaming]

@@thevatsimcontroller Never knew that the youtube upload system worked like that. The more you know.

[@Eric-1000]

can you help me to be a controller?

[@thevatsimcontroller]

What do you need?

[@Soares_-jb4pe]

quality kills me :(

[@nopeimnothere4119]

Yeah but that's youtube's "fault"

[@thevatsimcontroller]

HD is still uploading. Takes a while since it is a long video :)
