The Classroom (Controller Tips) / New in VATUSA

Hey, my friend and I (Asaf Katz) joined lately to VATSUA. we took the test, and unfortunately we didnt pass it.
So first of all-how long we need to wait until we can take the test again? (we took it in October 15th)
Second, is there someone who can help us study for the test?, or can give us some advises or manuals?
Thanks.

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 data server that hosts stats, vatsim.net among others suffered a hard drive failure last night, at 1915Z we will be shutting down this server in order to perform essential maintenance. We expect about a 30-45 minute downtime if all goes smooth. Thanks for your understanding and patience.

General Discussion / which ARTCC is best?
« on: July 13, 2013, 06:19:41 AM »Quote from: Goce Nikolovski
I have no idea about the traffic flow ,, and want to know which one is the busiest one,, because when I log in, I want to control continuously,, not to worry about no traffic in the area. So, what do u think?
Anyway I am new in VATSIM, and just beginning with my training.
Welcome to VATSIM, and Welcome to VATUSA!
to directly answer your question, you will find this link helpful http://stats.vatsim-germany.org/
Just have a look at the "Top 50 World Airports" Its not an official top 50, but its as close as you will find,
unfortunately due to the nature of VATSIM, you will never control continuously
As far as the best ARTCC, their is no way to tell what ARTCC is the best, but what we recommend is you View each ARTCC's website, you review their material, Ask any questions to the ARTCC Staff, and even fly in the airspace to get a feel,
VATUSA has several "Major Airports" the full List can be found here http://www.vatusa.net/major_apt_list.php
Each of these airports will require a bit of additional training after you get certified on a non Major position,
and last but not least, As a new member, you may find Busy airports very intimidating, and most people find it alot more comfortable to control Smaller airports to build the experiance
hope this helps

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
