Hi Scott, and welcome to VATSIM! In addition to the suggestion provided by Tomas and as an initial intro to what's expected, you can check out the Pilot Resource Centre on the VATSIM website at https://www.vatsim.net/pilot-resource-centre. This page covers the basics about flying on the network. You can also log on at an airport with ATC currently online, preferably where there is also some traffic, and just sit on the ramp and listen on frequency to get an idea about what information you should you need to keep available for reference.
There are a few different sites where you can view the Navigation plates/charts for flight planning purposes as well, i.e. Skyvector.com, AirNav.com, vroute.net, just to name a few.
And lastly, sometimes when ATC covering the airport you are at has time available (low traffic volume), they will be glad to offer some assistance when work load permits.
At any rate, glad to have you as a member of the VATSIM family and I hope you find many hours of enjoyment with the hobby.

The Classroom (Controller Tips) / Re: Positive Separation
« on: June 13, 2016, 08:42:26 PM »
I'll chime in and say I have to be with Wes on this one. The controller needs to be 'in control' of his airspace, know what is currently going on, what is coming up, and have a plan formulated as to how he is going to deal with it. Another point I noticed while reading is that although he stated his source for 'visual separation' (7-2-1), he failed to provide his source for the remainder of his position. I am always open to discussion and even constructive criticism, and if I am wrong I'll be the first to admit it, not afraid of a little humble pie. But come prepared to prove your point, state your source not your opinion or the opinion you have been taught. There is local policy and there is published policy.
