ATC services (USAF_NE)
ATC service is provided with OpenRadar using also Mumble when possible regularly on Wednesday evenings - check Lenny's website for the exact times and dates. For further information about KLSV, use SkyVector and GCMAP. To avoid pilot/ATC misunderstandings see the minimum list of best practices. Don't simulate an emergency or found an excuse to land/take-off from Nellis only because it is controlled in that moment, especially for airliners (e.g. terrorists on board, engine failures, passenger with cardiac arrest, President on board, etc.)
