MISSION: Our mission is to provide a learning environment for virtual controllers who want to improve their abilities to man different controller positions using a radar client software on the VATSIM network.
VALUES: We value friendship, respect, quality and knowledge.
Join VATCAN and be part of this wonderful learning environment !
Alan Taylor - Director, VATCAN
NOTAM to all VATCAN Controllers:
A new Policy has been put into effect with full support of the Management Action Group:
a) Controllers who have been inactive at their FIR (ie: haven't logged onto a position) for 30-90 days may be required to undergo a re-orientation at the discretion of the FIR Chief and/or Chief Instructor.
b) Controllers who have been inactive for 90 days or longer may be required to re-certify at the discretion of their FIR Chief.
An updated and amended VATCAN Policy is being drafted and will be available on the website in the near future for all to see.

I am pleased to announce that the Vancouver and Winnipeg FIRs have agreed to allow CYXS Prince George and CYQR Regina to be classified as training airports and have agreed to allow NTU S2 students to work the tower solo while awaiting Tower Orientation at their new FIRS. Any others??

CZVR ranked FIRST in the VATSIM Iron Mic this past week and was joined in the top 20 by 3 other FIRs. Congratulations to Vancouver, Toronto (6th), Winnipeg (17th) and Montreal (18th.)
Well done to all VATCAN controllers who participated.

When you enter the simulator you will lose 50% of your IQ. Your Instructor will give it back to you piece by piece.
