Saw two planes basically cross over each other earlier today (Surrey so quite relevant!) and thought about your videos, and whaddyaknow, you've uploaded a new one :)
hi Adam, so today I was flying on vatsim from EGKK, i was SAS804 departing from runway 08L and i caused a runway incursion while on TWR 124.225 the controller’s name was James something, if by any chance you know him please let him know that I apologise, it was very busy at the moment of the incursion and i could have caused a lot of problems. let him know that i’m new to vatsim and I’m still learning. thank you very much 🙏
but i have to admit that in gatwick it’s something that happens very often. yesterday i had to perform 2 go around a in a row , the first one because i was unstable on final because of bad vectoring by the approach controller and the second one because of a runway incursion
VFR circuits in a cessna at EGKK 😂😂😂😂😂😂 what a menace lol. Whenever I fly out of gatwick theres always at least one clueless person for entertainment, someone asked for IFR clearance to Gatwick... while on the ramp at Gatwick. They then promptly disconnected. Fun times.
13:45 Good intel. 4 birds, 1 stand. Funny. Don't worry. When you need to "honk the goose," you do it. Better than getting into sneezing fits. 1:15:23 Boast much? LOL I'm going to have to remember the /R //T formats for my pilot notes. A whole lot easier to use and read. (End) Handled that one like a boss. Superb job.
Fascinating live stream, played back. Never flown Vatsim but known of it for twenty plus years (since my Simviation Pete Daley era). Quite captivating watching you manage. Good show, well done. Maybe one day I might have a go in VS. Respect and thanks for posting, new subscriber. 👍
Appreciate the advice but I was more referring to how the pilot has made his voice come across ‘more fighter- pilot like’ anyways, looking forward to what’s coming next
Have there been proposals for requiring approval to connect to VATSIM - like you propose to connect at EGKK stand 21, and the controller covering clearance (top-down, so might be ground, twr, etc) can deny your connection as the stand is occupied. or you propose to connect on the 26L threshold and are denied, or you propose joining in a C172 in the middle of an event and are denied... if there's no controller then connections automatically accept as they do now?
I absolutely love vatsim think it amazing but i think there should be slots for atc because In real life they don't just go off when they want to it make it bit unrealistic but other then that i think it amazing
Why does Gatwick only use a single runway instead of dividing some if not all departures to 26R? I understand some aircraft can’t use shorter runways. Do most aircraft need 26L, so it is easier to not use 26R at all?
Can’t use the two runways simultaneously either. If an aircraft landed on 26L it would have to hold on the runway until the 26R aircraft had taken off. This would be way to slow for gatwick
That other person has an unusual voice (to me). Must be a regional thing (I am from germany). That voice sounded very british. Why does Vatsim name its admins/leaders 'board of directors' anyway? Old men trying to seem like corporation CEOs? Is there a tutorial video that explains specific airports and their runways and such? I always find it very confusing when it is about the taxiways and where to go, so I haven't yet dared to step into Vatsim. It is too intimidating.
He sounds British because we are British and controlling in UK airspace. 95% of UK controllers are British, hence the accent 😆 As for your second question, it’s because they are the board of directors. They are in charge of hundreds of controllers, hundreds of training controllers, and thousands of pilots. VATSIM needs an organised structure in order to operate. And no there is no video. All information can be found on charts. Keep practicing and watching RUclips videos.
Why don’t you all use CPDLC? I was on yesterday and could not get through to the controller on Ground. My ifr clearence, couldn’t get through without being rude. I logged off and just flew offline.
The Vatsim community is truly incredible to watch and hear you all getting thru these tasks and duties serving the pilots.
My first VATSIM youtube view. Loved it. Watched the whole lot!!!
Thanks
Thanks for the ATC today, you’re awesome
Cheers! Means a lot my friend ✌️
Great stream today Adam 👍🏻 Enjoy your holiday!
Thank you! Glad to see you here again
Doing my S1 at the moment, watching these streams has been great for drilling the phraseology down!
Glad it could be helpful and hope you learnt some things :)
Really enjoyable to watch, did not expect to watch until the end but you're calmness and organisational skills are something to behold. Bravo!
Thanks for sticking round to the end, especially with a long video!

@@nitram2145 no it was a ryanair 737 and it just landed in front of me like i wasn’t there and the runway was 08L
but i have to admit that in gatwick it’s something that happens very often. yesterday i had to perform 2 go around a in a row , the first one because i was unstable on final because of bad vectoring by the approach controller and the second one because of a runway incursion
if ATC is online then a runway incursion is almost always 100% the pilots fault
@@samiturk5975 yeah indeed it was my fault
As one of these replies said, if ATC is online the incursion is 100% their fault, unless you have ignored their instructions. 08L barely ever used.

I don’t know how you keep calm while doing this I would be panicking and crying lol
Training, training and more training! We do it for fun too, we enjoy the challenges

So professional. Wow good work. Very entertaining. Im starting my aviation career as a pilot and this is good practice. ;)
Thanks! Always try my best to maintain good professionalism :)
Wow this is great. Keep up the good work mate
Fair play definitely spinning the plates. What a shift! 🙌👌
Thanks ❤️
Great to see it from your perspective! Thanks from Easy51RU!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for flying :)
@thevatsimcontroller I nearly said when I heard your voice on ground. Am I gunna be on RUclips 🤣
Fascinating live stream, played back. Never flown Vatsim but known of it for twenty plus years (since my Simviation Pete Daley era).

Maybe one day I might have a go in VS. Respect and thanks for posting, new subscriber. 👍
Thanks for your subscription and hope you enjoy your stay!
Another great video, mate!
Thanks again!
Thanks for the great ATC. see you next time (from EZY301)
Thanks for flying, see you soon!
How did Eazy7AK get his voice to across like that? Sounds awesome! Great ATC coverage sir. Keep the content coming.
Just speak loud and clear!
Appreciate the advice but I was more referring to how the pilot has made his voice come across ‘more fighter- pilot like’ anyways, looking forward to what’s coming next
Great video, how come you don’t use the 2nd runway, all the best ste
The northern runway is no longer used since it’s ILS system has been removed
Your'e awesome, cheers mate!
Cheers!
You were great today, I was EZY31AK 😅 Cheers for the Ground mate
Thanks for flying and nice to speak to you!
Great vid

EZY71XD didn't read the chart - they don't need permission to cross the north runway at FR. should've proceeded onto J, right?
It was great bro... one question, how should I get the certificate? I really want to do this simulator, thank you for your guidance
Check your division’s website
I absolutely love vatsim think it amazing but i think there should be slots for atc because In real life they don't just go off when they want to it make it bit unrealistic but other then that i think it amazing
hey! just wondering, how long did it take to do the training to become a controller? Also, nice stream! I subbed :)
Waiting list: 1.5 years
Training: 5 months
Additional training to be able to control at Gatwick: 4 months
As well as 3 exams.
Thanks for the sub!
@@thevatsimcontroller sheeeeeeesh that’s a while!
happyfishey :))
How did you get yourself on simaware? Do you need to be a good enough streamer to get there?
I’m a SimAware affiliate, there’s a tab on the webpage where you can find out more.
@@thevatsimcontroller Ah, that's cool
Not even a PLN I mean can’t be that busy 😂
Planners are only used for events.
How do you get the circle around an airplane when it is transmitting on your frequency?
Nice video, by the way. It would be interesting to see more.
Mod available on GitHub
Does the other operator have a channel too?
I mean Charlie
No
question, for the people who are in line for departure why not tell them to monitor the tower? does the UK do monitor like in the US?
Because the UK system is better 😉 we keep them on ground because we are the one sequencing them
How did you memorize the taxiways when you were new?
Practice and memorisation. That's about it
Why do the aircraft silhouettes look like ass? Is that to simulate the radar return? I think some randomness might make it look less weird
IRL. Most of the UK ground radar is less modern than the air radar
ive personally had a lot more traffic at boston event but great job!
Why does Gatwick only use a single runway instead of dividing some if not all departures to 26R? I understand some aircraft can’t use shorter runways. Do most aircraft need 26L, so it is easier to not use 26R at all?
IRL, the northern runway is not used because it has no ILS or RNAV capability. It is practically decommissioned in real life.
Can’t use the two runways simultaneously either. If an aircraft landed on 26L it would have to hold on the runway until the 26R aircraft had taken off. This would be way to slow for gatwick
how do you know how to do all this, is there a log you can read?
No, I am a trained controller (8 months + 2 exams)
@@thevatsimcontroller Alr thx
That other person has an unusual voice (to me). Must be a regional thing (I am from germany). That voice sounded very british.

how can i download the plugin and i wonder that plugin how to set just in short
Which one?
@@thevatsimcontroller maybe the name is vsmr plugin
I hope next when you GND I can catch you and get atc-d by you! Cuz Charlie I got but you not :(
No argument about EZY being the best low cost airline.
thevatsimcontroller 🤝 easyjet collab? 🤣
Are you Adam T?
Correct
Why don’t you all use CPDLC? I was on yesterday and could not get through to the controller on Ground. My ifr clearence, couldn’t get through without being rude.
I logged off and just flew offline.
CPDLC is not a requirement, therefore about 60% of controllers don’t use it. Just use voice :)
Luckily in real life just about every airline use cpdlc which makes life in the tower much easier (started at gatwick in May and loving it)
thanks for ATC i was EZY1578!
