Flying with ATCThing
Our controllers provide realistic ATC services for GeoFS. Here is what you need to know to make the most of controlled airspace.
What We Provide
ATCThing controllers operate using VATSIM-style procedures adapted for GeoFS. When a controller is active, you can expect:
What We Expect from Pilots
To keep the experience realistic and enjoyable for everyone, we ask that pilots follow a few guidelines.
Monitor the Frequency
When flying in controlled airspace, tune into the appropriate frequency and listen for ATC instructions.
Follow Instructions
Comply with taxi, takeoff, landing, and approach clearances. Read back instructions to confirm understanding.
File a Flight Plan
For IFR flights, file your flight plan before departure. VFR pilots should still check in with local ATC.
Be Patient
Our controllers are trainees learning real ATC procedures. Please be respectful and patient during sessions.
