ServInfo

WestWind Online Operations is devoted to flying online, using a massive network called VATSIM, a free organization with over 100,000 members and 9 servers. At any time during the day, there can be anywhere from 100-700 people online, with an average of 200-350.

These people are scattered throughout the world, either manning ATC positions or flying. Thanks to some free software programs such as SquawkBox, FSInn, and Advanced Simulated Radar Client (ASRC), the ATC can see the pilots, and communicate with them either on text, or on voice. The procedures are very realistic, so it will benefit your real flying/ATC experience, if you have any or ever want to get some.

Even if you are just an interested virtual pilot, it will help you achieve realism far beyond what MSFS ATC is capable of providing. Although the traffic volumes are not too often high enough, holds are not unheard-of, and you will sometimes get route changes during your flying, as per ATC instructions. If you are a heavy full of fuel, you can improve fuel economy by doing a step climb, just like they do in the real world. When the Oceanic Control is online, you can practice Oceanic reporting procedures on your oceanic flights.

Upcoming Online Events

West Coast Flyin LAX-SFO

Date: Saturday May 3rd 2008

Time: 2300z-0200z (7-10pm East Coast, 4-7pm Pacific)

WestWind is taking this opportunity to have a long-needed flyin on our West Coast. Air Traffic Control will be online at the times specified in both LAX and SLC. Enroute ATC is also available during the flight. You are greatly encouraged and welcomed to fly a return leg or a continued leg to another airport if you wish.

A route to sign out on Flight Dispatch can be found here

The forum thread about the fly-in can be found here

Any RJ or 737 series would be the best for the flight, but you can fly in any aircraft that you want, as long as your rated in it.

New to VATSIM? No problem, many participating WestWind pilots would be more than glad to help you get ready on your first flight. Sign up at the VATSIM Homepage and you can get some valuable, "before you fly info," at the VATSIM Pilot Resource Center

Let's make this one to remember and help our name grow in the VATSIM Community!

Hope to see you there!

WestWind VATSIM Callsign Policy: Our registered call-sign is "WWAxxxx" for all flights, which by coincidence is also your WestWind pilot ID number. If flying cargo, please just mention this in your flight plan. It is also helpful to the VATSIM controllers to put "WESTWIND AIRLINES" in your flight plan comments.

Please visit the Online Operations section of the WestWind Discussion Forum for further announcements and discussions of online operations.
