Any ARTCC who wants it can have it, just shoot me an email, and i'll gladly provide the source. Although the TRC is my priority right now, I do plan on doing some upgrades and fixes to it. If anyone wants to see it, its at http://www.vzidartcc.org/IDS/. It is by no means spectacular but it does get the job done.

Wesley,

When an instructor submits a promotion, it usually takes between 12-36 hours to process. It should go through by this time tomorrow at the very latest (but most likely by the morning)

General Discussion / New TRC S1/S2 Rating Guides
« on: August 16, 2009, 05:03:58 PM »
I have put out the new S1/S2 study guides on the VATUSA Training Resource Center. These guides are not perfect, as I'm sure there are mistakes, but they are a good start in the right direction.

I appreciate your input and suggestions. Keep in mind that this material is designed to be continually updated throughout the future.

A HUGE thanks to Ken Hammond of ZKC, Harold Rutila of ZDV and Charles Rizzi of ZMA for all their hard work in helping me get this material released!

When you see these guys tell them thanks!.

Well, it just went from bad to worse.  I just went back to the application page, and it wanted to make me take the exam again.  I blew through it thinking that I've already done this before, and it said that I failed, so now I can't even get back in to try and apply for a domain.  Why would I have to take this exam if I've already been well past this part before?   It's getting confusing again.  Do I have to wait til' Aug 3 to really take that test again, or is there a way that this can be overrode since I've already done it before?  If I'd have known that I would have stopped and actually guessed at the questions, but didn't think it was mandatory if I've already completed it once.  Any thoughts??

I'll look into it and let you know shortly.

Nick,

You are not currently assigned to an ARTCC. Do you have one in mind that you would like to join? If so, you will need to go to http://www.vatusa.net/www/public.php?mod=request_transfer and transfer into the ARTCC of your choice.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask!

These are very superb videos and I show the non-precision approach, radar identification, and communications videos to all of my new radar students. I'd highly recommend these for people who may have trouble grasping minor yet important details of air traffic control. For example, the difference between primary and secondary identification is very well spelled out with many examples in the video.

Good post, Karl.

Justin

Yes they are and I can guarantee most of the videos will be in the new VATUSA Training Resource Center as a way of visually teaching some of the more 'complex" aspects of the radar environment. I'm a big fan of pictures and video.

One of the things I remember trying to figure out in the beginning was which radar client to use. When I was first wanting to get into ATC I went and got both clients (VRC,ASRC) and tried to pick my way through things. I don't really remember all the little things I went through to figure out that VRC was easier (couple years ago now), but I think a little quick blurb like "VRC is the more common client and it is more simple to use than ASRC" would help out with that.

Thats the first little thing that pops into my mind. From what I can think of most of the questions I had would be in the actual controlling side of things, and those questions would be directed to an ARTCC TA/Instructor etc. Not sure if this is what you are looking for! Just a cent or two =)

Nope thats exactly the kind of thing i'm looking for. I appreciate the input!

Members,


As the recently selected VATUSA Training Services Administrator, one of my tasks will be to update the VATUSA Training Material. As I sit and check my e-mail every night, I often receive many questions from our members (Which is great! Keep them coming!) which are similar in nature. So one of the items of the new "Training Resource Center" will be a Frequently Asked Question section.

So here is my question to you. What are some of the questions that you have had when you first joined VATUSA and/or questions that you've seen other members have?

I appreciate any input that you can give.


See you on the scopes!
