General Discussion / What ARTCC?
« on: December 16, 2015, 02:38:24 AM »
So i been looking at all ARTCC's website because i would like to join one. I am currently an S3 but have not controlled in years so will be starting from scratch. I, through my organization, keep hearing that some ARTCCs would rather not take any more controllers because how low on controllers they are. I would like to join an ARTCC who it not just looking at adding one more to their Roster but also be able to train a couple of times a month (hopefully more)

Is there any ARTCC out there who knows they are really active and soon enough i can be behind the scope?

Thx

Alex I would like to extend an offer for the Seattle (KSEA)/ Portland (KPDX) area also. We have been really focusing our new controllers on VFR flying and I think that we have some great VFR airspace around here with Seattle area having also Renton (KRNT), Boeing Field (KBFI) and a few other in the Class Bravo. And with KPDX you have Vancover (Pearson Field), Troutdale, and Hillboro in the area. So lots of options.


But also not just Alex group, but I would like to extend my hand out to any ATO. Just send an email to events@seaartcc.net and we will make sure to have people there.

See ya on the scopes.

We will be in contact, thank you.

Alright Brandon

Alex,

I have over 5 years experience in training for flight schools. If you look at AIM 3-4-6. The airspace is just west of KFLL is an Alert Area.

Again, training is very difficult from the virtual aspect for pilots. When your in the left seat of a real airplane, you have control from the situation. With the virtual side, you have other factors that have to be achieve in order to get the exact conditions and movements you want the student to learn. Like the flare. Another difficult subject for example is energy management. The lowest landing rates is not a win for virtual aviation. In fact, this may result in approach-and-landing accidents, such as: loss of control, landing short, hard landing, tail strike, runway excursion; and/or, runway overrun. Which is what we see in VATSIM and VAs daily.

Also, (no offense to ZMA and ZJX) but when it's sunny and 75 with light winds for over 300 days a year in Florida, then yes it's easy and fun. Try different parts of the USA for the experience.

As a side note, if something doesn't work the first time, don't try it again. Basic business principles.

Thank you for the advices.

Well Alex, you could always come back to the South Florida region.  I know we enjoyed having the VATFLY group around and did appreciate their dedication to trying to systematically learn the ropes.

All the best as you look to relaunch the organization.

That's an option. I love flying in Florida so FLL is an option.

Hello Alex,

Congratulations on launching again. ZLA would be more than happy to host your training operations. Feel free to email me at datm@laartcc.org if you are looking to discuss some specifics.

I sure will.

Hello Alex,

Training is a delicate process, for both the pilot and the controller. Using bigger airports for training can easily overwhelm the student and discourage him/her from continuing training. You should use smaller airports in smaller ARTCC (i.e Guam). Also, the so called "Flight Training Areas" are actually called Practice areas and can not be found on any chart. Just by this post, I can easily tell that this is your first time at providing flight training. Why don't you gain experience at a proper ATO and then maybe try giving instruction when your a little more knowledgeable. OR be like most kids on here and try to act like you have multiple licenses to teach. Oh wait, you have to be 18 to get a FAA CFI. I guess that might throw a little curve ball in your plans. Something that might also throw a little curve ball in your plan is the mere fact that having no experience in teaching flying to anyone is a huge lost to your cause. Again, gain the experience before you jump off this bridge again.

I also have most of your former instructors and staff. Sorry

Rant over...

Chris, thank you for your response.

I do appreciate your honesty and straight forward comment. Do allow me to explain and coach you a bit...
I have been doing this for a bit now, this is not my first rodeo, and to add, I am not under aged in any form...

Most importantly... The reason why we pick Class B and C is because is hard to find ATC in smaller airports (yes, I do mean GND, TWR, & APP/DEP), also here is some coaching... Flight Training Areas or Practice Areas are found on charts (look at a sectional chart [a few miles west of KFLL]) I do respect your comment, and your "insult" and do wish you the best in life.

One thing to add. We don't offer any threat to ATOs out there, we will remain unique to our ways and not become a VA at any time.

Hi guys

My names is Alex and I am the founder of the now retired VATFLY. Few months ago we had to close doors because of a malware planted in our servers now I am re opening doors to a new, stronger, modern ATO in VATSIM. With VATFLY we were stationed at KFLL for all our practice flight and acted as our main airport, with that we brought a great amount of traffic to that airport, programs like Fast Track were we selected an ARTCC an would gather as many pilot as we could to certify them all one day. With this new program I want to make it bigger and stronger but again, I want a brand new start.

Before we would select the ARTCC for our main station, I want to hear ideas of airport you think we should make our main station. Whoever we select from here I want to have a strong partnership, one that can be just good communication or in some forms help out each other (nothing complicated)

This is what we look for in the airport;
Class B or C airspace
A Flight Training area designated by the ARTCC or assigned in real life already.
ARTCC must have an active staff.

Reply with ICAO / ARTCC and directions to the Flight Training area that can be found in charts or explain where is this area going to be if not in charts.

Replies can be done here or to my email at alex.caballero@vatstar.com

General Discussion / VATFLY Fast Track for VATSIM
« on: March 18, 2013, 08:25:36 AM »
VATFLY introduces Fast Track

VATFLY is introducing The Fast Track programs for experience pilots in VATSIM. This program allows pilots with over 100 recorded hours in VATSIM to get P2 certified a lot faster. Once a month we coordinate with ARTCCs within the VATUSA airspace and our instructors so in one day we can do the Practical Exam for numerous pilots all at once. This will benefit all of those experiences pilots move ahead without the extended training.

On March 31st, 2013 we are hosting our first Fast Track event happening at our training airport (Fort Lauderdale Intl Airport). At 6:00pm eastern pilots will depart from FLL on a 45-minute flight to Tampa International. Pilots may choose their aircraft of preference as long is a commercial airliner.

The requirements to sign up for the program are:
1.   Over 100 recorded hours in VATSIM as a pilot.
2.   A valid VATSIM ID
3.   Sign up with VATFLY and the Fast Track Program.

Once you complete the flight our instructors will send the link for the written exam and soon after you will be a P2.

Sign up today at www.vatfly.com
