Virtual Air Traffic Simulation Network

The Virtual Air Traffic Simulation Network (VATSIM) is an online platform where aviation enthusiasts and professionals simulate and practice air traffic control and piloting using realistic digital tools. Participants connect via the internet to create a shared virtual airspace, enabling realistic communication and coordination just like real-world aviation. It helps improve skills, understanding, and coordination among pilots and controllers worldwide, providing a safe and educational environment for aviation training and entertainment. Essentially, VATSIM offers a global, interactive air traffic environment for those interested in aviation, without leaving their homes.
