===ATC Simulation=== | |||
Dave (D-79 on the forum) has been acting as Berlin Tegel Airport (EDDT) ATC for a couple of hours over the last couple of weekends using [[FGCom]] and MPChat. | |||
Your correspondent took part on a recent Saturday and spent a very enjoyable couple of hours under ATC along with a variety of other sim pilots. Dave did a sterling job keeping everything under control, in particular providing excellent vectors to the ILS. | |||
I'd highly recommend those wanting to do a bit more practise under ATC to look out for the next event, or any other advertised ATC. Note that using [[FGCom]] makes things a lot easier, and more realistic. | |||
Details of the next event can be found on [http://www.flightgear.org/calendar.html the calendar]. | |||
