General Discussion / VATNA
« on: August 01, 2013, 11:58:11 AM »
VATNA website appears to be down at the moment, any ideas when it will be back up?
Edit, never mind I thought it was http://www.vatna.org/ but http://www.vatna.net/ works perfect

The Classroom (Controller Tips) / Do you know what this topic is about?
« on: July 13, 2013, 04:36:09 AM »
I have noticed a good few controllers have some sort of psychic ability,
Just a friendly tip, when an aircraft on the ground calls you with a request don't just assume that the pilot is requesting clearance
Wait for the pilot to specifically request clearance before issuing it

The Control Room Floor / How do you read?
« on: May 31, 2013, 09:47:47 AM »
It is a phrase that I hear almost as often as "Traffic Traffic Decend decend" but is it an acceptable phrase for controllers to use?
Normally when I fly I do be Voice receive and 7 out of every 10 controllers starts the conversation asking "How do I read"
I googled "How do I read 7110.65" hoping the phrase would show up, but it probably wasn't my brightest idea
But in all seriousness, is this just one of those "Vatsimisms" Would their be a better way to ask pilots? and where do Controllers get the phrase from???

General Discussion / Lost Comms 7600
« on: May 09, 2013, 05:52:45 AM »
What is VATSIM's Current view on Pilots who squawk 7600?
on our training page It states that in the COC ( 2003 ) that "PILOTS ARE NOT PERMITTED TO SIMULATE A RADIO FAILUREĀ CONDITION BY ENTERING A TRANSPONDER CODE OF 7600"
http://www.vatusa.net/training/tiki-index...._to_Emergencies
In the current COC It no longer states that simulating a Radio faulure is prohibited http://www.vatsim.net/network/docs/coc/
I know that the COC has changed over the past 10 years,, but Im just wondering where VATSIM Currently stands?

I had a fun day on ATL approach,
A vfr aircraft spawned, and called me for taxi,
I asked him what his intentions where,
he told me they were to taxi to the active

Flying on Unicom can prove to be intresting
