Study Guide:Basic Lesson

Starting your ATC career

The Training Department welcomes you to the virtual ATC world of VATSIM. Your training contains much theoretical and practical lessons.

Software

But before we start with your training you have to download some necessary software.

To communicate with your mentor we use Teamspeak.

Thereafter we need an ATC client. There are a couple of clients available on VATSIM, but the VACC-Austria use only Euroscope.

You can find it at the euroscope homepage or you use the full configured VACC-Austria edition from our homepage.

Rules & Regulations

For sure, the priority of our hobby is having fun. But don´t forget we want to provide professional service to our pilots and this contains a handful of rules which we don´t have to ignore.

The holy bible is the Code of Conduct. This regulation is valid for everyone on VATSIM.

Additionally every VACC has Rules&Regulations regarding internal topics. Have a look at our Rules and Regulations.

Gentleman Agreement

Not everything is written down in a document. The VACC-Austria stands for an excellent relationship among ourselves, courtesy and their reliabilty. If you want to receive these qualities, give it to each other.
