ATC Tools

Flight Strips

ATC software used by controllers to view the flightplans of pilots in the FSOpen server. You can view the page about this software here.

UK Charts

A full and comprehensive set of charts for the UK airports can be found on the NATS AIP website. Click Here for a list of Aerodrome charts for the UK.

ATCA

ATCA is a useful piece of software used by Vatsim controllers, that is handy for use in FSOpen. You can find and install it from the ATCA Website.

Tower Upgrade

The standard control tower in FSX is not great for UK ATC. We've put together a new version which I strongly advise you install. This has been downloaded about 5,000 times so far so must be doing something right!

The upgrade can be found here.

Skype

All of the ATC Mentors, and most Air Traffic Controllers on FSOpen use skype when they are online. While this is not a requirement, you will find it so much easier to get mentoring, and communicate via private message whilst on skype rather than on TeamSpeak.

You can find skype here.
