Question to ATC how close is Vatsim of the real job ?
Post Body

Hello,

I’m in the late stage of the selection for the training to become ATC, and I wanted to try some ATC simulator to know what it take to be a good one before taking my decision. I searched a bit and the best one from the rating is vatsim but in the r/ATC they say it’s in fact a bad one (few opinions).

So It’s lead to my question, I want to have some more inputs, again it’s not really to train but more to have an experience of the real deal.

Comments

To be honest as a CFI sure maybe you can kind of come close to simulating bare bone operations if the pilots are competent real world pilots who are genuinely trying to simulate real world procedures, but even then so much still lacks, on top of that, there are so many times in vatsim where you will experience a pilot deviation but since everyone’s learning, from what I see, controllers just kind of adapt and work with the deviation where in real life that would absolutely be a number to copy. So I’d have to guess pretty far away from what you actually get as an ATC
