Please join me in congratulating Will Smart who has been appointed as the Deputy Director, ATC Administration on the ATC Training Department. Will brings a significant amount of administrative experience and leadership knowledge gained from the real world which he brings into this crucial position on the team. Will has also been a Mentor on the Training Team for a while now and his knowledge of controlling will certainly help him in this role. For those who are requesting Exams or asking us questions, he will be on the other end of the training email responding to all your emails.
On behalf of the entire training team, we look forward to working with Will even more in the future and hope that he will help our community and training department grow.

I still don't like the idea of this. I see too much pain for no gain

I don't think it's appropriate, we are staffed enough as it is. I don't feel comfortable in having people from VATNZ coming over here to Mentor and Assess our students when they might not know our procedures due to there being no training between divisions.
The ATC Training Department for VATPAC says no.

It is with great regret that I inform the community that Cam Tyson has decided to resign as Deputy Director, ATC Administration (VATPAC13) and the training team as a whole. Cam has contributed to the ATC Training Department in so many ways and I cannot thank him enough for being a great number 2 and a great friend to many of us in the ATC Training Department.
Cam will be stepping down from this position due to him now living in the United Kingdom and has taken on a career in teaching. We all wish Cam the best in this position and we know that he will smash it and will do a phenonmenal job like he has done in the VATPAC13 position.
Thank you Cam for all your hardwork since being appointed to the VATPAC13 position and we all wish you the best in your future endeavours and work!

Message: Today I flew in the Kia Ora Hong Kong event from NZAA - VHHH overflying Brisbane Oceanic Airspace. Samuel logged on during the event and I was very happy with his ATC he provided. It was a really relaxing and peaceful flight with him and a nice way to kick off the 11-hour flight. Thanks for making the 5-hour flight in oceanic less painful and allowing me to finish season 2 of The Good Place on netflix

On behalf of the ATC Training Team, I would like to wish all members a Merry Christmas and a safe festive season.
Our ATC Training Team perform an enormously important task and do so entirely with their generously donated time. So it is traditional for us to express our gratitude to them by giving them a couple of weeks off to enjoy family, friends and VATSIM.
ATC Training will be closed from 18 December 2018 and will reopen on 8 January 2019.
During this time, there will be no new theory exams given out, no exam results processed and no additional arrangements will be made for official mentoring or practical assessments (existing arrangements will of course be honoured).
If you feel you are nearing completion of your self-directed study, please consider using these 2 weeks as an opportunity to read over those tricky subjects again and we will be happy to serve you in the new year.

Yeah something like that

Yeah things like that was something that has been tossed around heaps and has been something we’ve wanted to do for a while. What Harrison, Jacob, Liesel and the IT department have been and are working on is very exciting.

Dear Nicolas Tessede and Vatpac,
The air traffic control service I recieved from Sydney Approach was amazing, the vectors were perfectly placed even though weather was difficult to battle. The controller didn't let this faze him and he continued with good ATC.

how so?
Restricting someone to control when they have a rating would be like me downgrading you from a S2 to a pilot/observer

Maybe if you don't attend it you get warning points, and after 5 or so you are banned from bookings
Need to be very careful when saying things like that

Tricky

Don’t you hate that 😂😂 they get you on everything. But they scammed me out of my free ride when I touched on and it took my money 😐

Alternatively, staff members can add warning points to someone's forum account and when they reach a certain amount of points it will suspend them for a period of time on the forums
