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.
