New to VATSIM? Not sure how to handle ATC? No problem - this event is for you!
First Wings is all about giving new pilots the confidence to fly online with full ATC support. Whether it’s your very first flight or you just want more practice with controllers, this is the perfect chance to learn in a low-pressure, beginner-friendly environment. ATC will be there to guide you through every step - clearance, taxi, departure, en-route, approach, and landing.
This edition takes off on Thursday the 28th of August, starting at 2200 UTC. You’ll be flying from Billings-Logan International Airport - KBIL to Boise Airport - KBOI. The route is designed to be easy to follow, so you can focus on enjoying the experience and getting comfortable with ATC.
To ensure a smooth experience for both pilots and controllers, slot booking is mandatory. Make sure to reserve your departure time here (https://booking.vatsim.net/) in advance so you can participate.
