I just recently joined a FIR inside of VATCAN to learn about ATC and communication to better improve my skills. I am just about to get my ground certification and I gotta say its great to see other people my age who are interested in these sort of things, props to you man! Goodluck, hope to see you controlling soon. 💪

Good vid mate. Happy that you are interested in becoming an ATC. I am a Vatsim ATC as well at ROvACC, I have an S2 rating, just finishing the training for S3, if evrything is good I`ll be an S3 controller by the end of this month. I want to be an ATC IRL as well, so this Vatsim controlling is really helping me. It took kind of a long time but belive me, it`s worth it. I congratulate you for becoming an S1 ATC and good luck with your S2 training(at first it will seem like it`s hard, but it isn`t).

Wow, this is, wow. As a S1 working on my S2 in Vatsim and also a student pilot this is a lot more than I did. I suggest you finish the academy ASAP as that is what holds you back. Once you finish the academy the learning doesn't stop though because you have to learn the specifics for your ARTCC (Air Route Traffic Control Center). The games help but wont help as much as the academy. Remember that you won't instantly be doing radar scopes. Keep your hopes up you are definitely going to be ready at this pace once you finish the academy.

vatsim atc here, when trying to practice, especially with VATUSA facilities, I personally would recommend viceATC. Its an opensource ATC sim based on vSTARS. I've used it a lot and have made a few scenarios for it myself, and I enjoy it. The one thing I would like to say, is make sure you don't have bad habits when controlling in sims. If you develop bad habits while using a sim, when you get to training, they will stick. I've had that happen to my self. Love the video though, can't wait to see you develop!

as a VATSIM controller and pilot irl, seeing both sides (atc and pilot) has reeeaaallly helped in flying irl. The introduction from VATUSA is super easy and depending on your ARTCC it is really easy to get your S1. When it gets to S2 it is a lot harder, lots of people (including me) say that it the hardest rating to get. Overall it isn't super hard to get your S1. And once you do your S1 exam you are still an observer (OBS), you get training inside ZME to get your S1. S2 is gonna take you awhile because you have to get your minor and major S1 certs...hate to break it to ya. Just remember not to leak the exams or the tests and you will be good :) Keep it up!

I realized that I have to do some farther training on the network to finish up my S1 before making a separate vid for my S2, so I think I am going to make a smaller vid (prob around 5 minutes) with me finishing that! And from what I have heard, the S2 is def the hardest part but, hey! No shame in needing more help if I struggle! Appreciate the support and thanks for watching man!

Im a 4.0 student with all honors and ap classes and several extracurricular activities. Ive got the academic side handled. I am also currently ALREADY working on a ppl and actively take flight lessons. And you are wrong, Flights sims ARE helpful, especially to those who do not have time to fly but could easily hop on a sim for 15 minutes to practice. No disrespect intended with my view, at the end of the day both of us will most likely end up flying airlines anyway, just taking different paths to get there!
