Making my first full flight in Vatsim from Gatwick (EGKK) to Manchester (EGCC) in the Fenix Airbus A320.
A nerve wracking experience to say the least. There were a few moments where I dropped the ball, and much learnt for the next time. Hopefully we can start to introduce VATSIM into the streams once I’m a bit more familiar with things.
I use the “Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition” joystick when I fly Airbus and the "Thrustmaster TCA Yoke Boeing Editing" when I'm flying Boeing, or anything that uses a yoke, along with the “Thrustmaster TCA QUADRANT AIRBUS Edition” throttle quadrant with a set of Logitech Flight Rudder Pedals.

I was the ground controller at Gatwick! I seem to remember your callsign for no particular reason but I’m glad you enjoyed the coverage.

@AirNOTT 9 месяцев назад

Ah fantastic! Thanks for your patience, still kicking myself with the APU 😅 I’m not why I chose that call sign, I just panicked and made up a random three digit number. I usually fly with my own livery on the channel, would you happen to know if I canjust make up a call sign should I want to fly as “AirNOTT” on VatSim? Providing I don’t inadvertently use a real world one?

A small piece of advice: While short flights are very attractive, as you don't spend a lot of time "doing nothing", it's also nice to have slightly longer flights for your first few flights online, so you can actually properly prepare. Short hops are very, very demanding. You look very confident for a first flight by the way!

Hey dude, as a Tower controller I can say you did really well, you were not scared to ask for clearification so you know exactly what you need to do. Next to that you had charts and everything prepared! I would be happy with pilots like you, instead of people who just do whatever. And if you are unsure if you should read something back, read everything back that you have recieved, can not go wrong with that.

You did way better than I ever managed before deciding Vatsim wasn't for me. When you've had a German dude give you a serve then disconnect you it's enough to make you see red. I came so close to reconnecting and giving him a blast but decided against it. All because I landed long and overshot the taxiway at which he wanted to vacate the runway causing an aircraft in his sequence to have a missed approach. Must have really wrecked his day.

@Chris_M-fn6yk 9 месяцев назад

I took part in my first VATSIM flight a few days ago, our flights were VERY similar in the tiny mistakes made aswell as stress from trying to do things right. At one point during my ascent, the AP just went completely haywire, so i had to fly my SID by hand whilst trying to manage ATC communications on my first flight. Safe to say, it was one of the most stressful times I've ever had playing any game/simulator. Absolutely worth it though, was a blast!

This was the same as my first go on Vatsim. The nerves before that first radio call were so high. I can manage ground, take off, departure, and landing. But arriving, or being vectored completely threw me. So I'd recommend practicing those. The best thing I found was to be aware of what the ATC might tell you, so it's not a surprise when you get told something you weren't expecting.

@homasas4837 9 месяцев назад

Hi, you were correct to repeat the taxiways, its mandatory. Also, when the instruction is "BEHIND aircaft line up BEHIND", you usually have to repeat "behind xx line up and wait behind" to acknoledge that you understood the critical instruction to let the other airplane land first. Then it was very good for a first time. Always pilot and naviguate first, then communicate. After a while, you will always know in advance what the ATC is gonna tell you. Finally, try to not overcommunicate on UNICOM. Go straight to the point and dont announce every single step of your flight. Be aware of the traffic around you. Use Vatspy, VSR or whatever you like to know how many planes will be on your path. According to that, communicate accordingly.

@AirNOTT 9 месяцев назад

@DukeDudeston 7 месяцев назад

I would love to do this, but my confidence just isnt there yet. I love flight sim, and I know this would increases my enjoyment so much more than the dodgy AI ATC that keeps bouncing me between 2 frequencies for some reason. And of course more realistic. I will have to put some serious hours in, researching vatsim and this video is a good start, from a first time experience.

@theupstateniko 5 месяцев назад

It’s really not that bad mate. A lot of controllers on Vatsim are understanding, especially if you tell them it’s your first few times connecting. They’ll speak slow, repeat info need be, and help you get through. I never used Vatsim myself until I started my flight training a few years ago since that was my only form of real radio exposure and that’s where I learnt the jargon and phraseology. I have 115 hours now (real time) so radios are a zero stress issue for me and Vatsim has actually prepared me more than I could have ever imagined for my instrument rating since flight plans on Airbuses and Boeings always fall under IFR. My advice to you is to start by watching Vatsim tutorial videos on RU-vid, listen to ATC videos on RU-vid as well and familiarize yourself with the procedure and phraseology, and even practice by yourself, everything else will come with time. Start your flying in Vatsim with local VFR flights, fly a Cessna around a local airport so that you’re not juggling the 6,000 things you need to do to configure a transport category aircraft for landing as well as managing coms, get comfortable making calls on Unicom. Vatsim is a fantastic learning tool that will help you with both your coms and procedures in the real airplane should that ever be something you decide to dive into. Good luck!!

Awesome! You did great. I am EZY crew at Gatwick IRL and being honest I think making calls on VatSim is more daunting and scary than with real ATC - so well done to you, your first calls sounded well experienced. I find for VatSim LGW; using PDC helps to avoid the radio clearance call - I find clearance the worst call because of having to scribble stuff down super quick, the Fenix is great for doing a digital clearance through the MCDU and also has the CPDLC functions when airborne too, If you get the PDC all you have to do is call delivery with a ready message :) Anyways, again great vid!

@tecnamsam5354 9 месяцев назад

@@AirNOTT I think I find VatSim can be a little bit too serious at times and I think (for me) that adds a lot of pressure on getting everything right first time which in turn makes it daunting and scary. I think IRL it helps having a second crew member with you to help on the radios where as VatSim its single pilot ops mostly which throws the workload up. But even IRL we mess up on radio calls at least once per flight, calling wrong frequencies, wrong readbacks, missing calls etc, everyone has to start somewhere with ATC and I think VatSim is a fantastic tool for immersion and a good leap into realistic ATC, the Gatwick controllers are spot on!

Excellent Job, Hope you continue your journey to come. You will get Atc that are Annoyed and Angry, so just don't worry about them. Recommend that you practice the route before hoping on, but well done. Some times also they will say things fast so if you don't understand just ask. Hope to see you around in everywhere on vatsim!

Thanks! Yeah I did a few observer mode flights leading up to this one. Such a handy feature! Maybe bump into you soon!

love from pakistan mate! you absolutely nailed it

@DaveMeister70 9 месяцев назад

Reminds me so much of my first flight on Vatsim after spending hours and hours in observer mode listening and getting courage. The only thing different is that you were a lot better at your fist go than me. Now its just all 2nd nature.

@AirNOTT 9 месяцев назад

I think it was more luck than judgement on my part!

You did really well for your first time on VatSim. Asking for clarification and most of your calls and read backs were correct. I’m a GND controller and often control Manchester and I’ve never heard use of Bravo Ramp… I’d have said “taxi stand 7 via Bravo, Juliet-Echo”

Oh cool, yeah it threw me a bit, hopefully catch you online soon 👍

Thanks! Yeah it’s an intense experience, that’s for sure. Rewarding though.

Whilst in the army we were trained to speak into our radio comms, clearly, and with pauses, and the correct speed. There is no point rabbiting away trying to impress if the recipient of your message can’t understand or keep up with what you are saying. Time is then wasted when they are asked to repeat what they are saying. This happens a lot when people leave messages on my telephone answering machine leaving me their telephone number to phone back. I must replay the message several times to work out and understand the number they have given.

fair play dude, did my 1st vatsim flight yesterday and it was terrying enough without recording it lol

@SplitNotion 9 месяцев назад

Don't forget when told to do something near a runway (e.g line up or cleared to land) you should mention the name of the runway in your readback transmission (e.g Cleared to land Runway 26R)

Good point! Thanks!

@PaulMenden5659 9 месяцев назад

You did an amazing job. I used to control on VATSIM in Munich Germany EDDM Tower and below and can confidently say your coms were exactly what we want to hear. Also, yes taxi instructions need to be read back, just like all instructions. This is important for the controler to know nothing got lost or misunderstood.

@AirNOTT 9 месяцев назад

Thank you Paul, and I appreciate the guidance, thanks! Here’s to round two!

@StuRacer78 8 месяцев назад

Hi Paul, whats required to be a controller on VATSIM? Are the controllers generally controllers in real life? Watching this video they seem to be pretty close to the real thing, infact one of the controllers sounded exactly like one of the controllers at Gatwick.

@IIparkyII 9 месяцев назад

Bravo Ramp😂 It's actually Juliet Echo taxiway on that side of B Pier

@IslandSimPilot 8 месяцев назад

@2:25 Yep, read back all taxi instructions. Also the takeoff clearance at @6:40. You don’t have to read back the winds, but you do have to read back the clearance, eg “Cleared for takeoff runway X, Easy 123” etc.

@GameJacko 9 месяцев назад

Wow! Amazing you’ve started doing VATSIM! Will you be doing it in all your flights or only some? Great job ❤

@AirNOTT 9 месяцев назад

Thanks Jalice! Unsure at this point. I think once I’ve got a few more under my belt and I’m more familiar, I’ll start introducing into the streams as a regular thing. Thing is, when I stream during the day, often there isn’t much ATC online, so it’ll be a lot of Unicom

@@AirNOTT Wasn't too bad, Just a short rotation to Dublin, I remember my first time on VATSIM now I am approaching my 700 hour mark time flies, no pun intended.
