VATSIM (Virtual Air Traffic Simulation Network)

VATSIM (Virtual Air Traffic Simulation Network) is an online platform where flight enthusiasts and professional pilots connect to simulate real-world aviation. Participants use realistic software to fly aircraft or manage air traffic, communicating via voice and data links just like real controllers and pilots. This network enhances training, realism, and community engagement in aviation, allowing users worldwide to experience and practice the procedures of flying and controlling aircraft in a virtual environment that closely mimics real-world air traffic operations.
