Controller works Heathrow Tower on VATSIM! 

Too bad I missed the stream, but lucky I can see the video. Very impressive to see you handle aircrafts so organized. I'm still nervous about flying in vatsim or ivao 😂🙈 Thanks for the great content

I’m very new to Vatsim and did my first flight today EGLL-EGNT! Heathrow was uncontrolled nonetheless 😅 Your videos are so useful to understand the bigger picture, it’s certainly helping to build my confidence with the radiotelephony. Thank you!

Love your streams! Just joined VATSIM and I hope to be a virtual ATC in Munich, so your streams are great to know what to expect. :D

nice

I can't do well two things at the same time so imagine how would my VATSIM experience end? 😂

So thats what Vettel does between his races ;) (Sorry had to. Not meant in any bad way)

Why do all the Sim'ers always use Speedbird or Virgin callsigns? Why not ANA, Quantas, Cactus, ABD666 or "Ed-Force One" (LOL), Shamrock, SleazyJet ;) ;) ;) LOL

For God so loved the world he gave his only Son so that whoever believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life ✝️

I love how you're able to keep track of stories you were telling while being interrupted by comms from planes! Fascinating stuff.

I don't know why this was recommended to me 3 years later but it was fun to watch!

You wait two weeks for a stream then miss it haha

Re GA flying into EGLL, I once (over 25 years ago) witnessed a light aircraft land on 27L. It didn't take long to stop, so it did a U-ey on 27L (!) oblivious to a Saudi 747 that was on short finals. The Saudi had to go around.

Thanks for this, enjoyed watching what atc Tower does!

Have enjoyed watching your video! Great to learn as early stage flight simmer with vatsim. thanks!

So being a tower controller can you actually get a view of the airport and have a look at the landings or do you just have an over view of the airfield?

I would try and get 2 screens with one laying on desk and a second one in front with the actual heathrow with planes

I always respect the London Tower controllers on Vatsim, it gets so busy sometimes!

I created a vatsim account but it asking for a cid what do I put there

I really want to become an ATC. Where and how do I start?

would it be possible to also log into vatsim as a spectator and simulate the tower window like that?

First pilot was a dope

Are folks flying on any sim they want, and so don't see one another?

Are you a real life atc tower aswel?

is it real planes

Clarky could you point me in the right direction to get started in controlling in VATSIM? In the real world I've got most of my private pilot done (helicopter), but in the VATSIM world I'd like to start in the ATC side. I have 4.5 years real world experience as Clearance Delivery at Portland Tower (Oregon, US), and was immersed in the ATC environment there between Tower and Tracon. Although it's been September of 93 since I last spoke on an FAA radio, the tens of thousands of clearances I recited are still burned into memory. Picking that up in VATSIM would be a non-issue, then I'd like to progress to Ground, Tower, and on up. But as I've only discovered VATSIM within the past 36 hours or so, have signed up, but have been unable to determine exactly where to start to get into it. Do I need to test? Speak with the right person? Could you just give me a heading? Or a contact point? Can't make heads or tails of this whole thing.
