I am putting together another CVA training session geared specificaly to the many new faces out there who may be a little nervous about flying online, or who need some guidance on who to call, when to call and what to do when someone calls you...
I am planning to hold this event in a nice quiet area, with (I hope) CVA pilots manning the scopes and providing ATC services during the training event. This way, we keep all our embarrassing "brain-farts" within the family! I'm planning on doing this on a Saturday or Sunday.
What I need from you guys, is a "yes I'm interested" email, and what days would be best for you to attend. No sense in doing it if no one is around to fly, is there? Please send an email to
cva51@cablerocket.com and let me know if you'd be interested...
Now, if anyone is having trouble connecting to Vatsim, or you simply don't know how, send this information to me as well and I'll do my damndest to help get you connected and ready to go online.
I also want to use voice comms for this event. It's just way easier that way, rather then trying to type everything. If you don't have a microphone, that's ok. You can still download AVC (Available at VATSIM.net) and use it in receive only mode, meaning you'll still be able to hear everyone, you'll just have to type to us is all. Again, if you're having any trouble with AVC, or don't know how to use it, let me know in your email and I'll help you out before the event takes place.
A quick, one hour session will be all it takes to get the basics down-pat! You'll all be flying the virtual sky's like pros!
Please note: I will not be giving instruction on landing techniques. I'm still dealing with the law-suits from the last time I tried that... :biggrin:
