Welcome!

VATSIM UK is the place to be for any members who regularly fly or wish to control on the VATSIM Network in the United Kingdom. We are known across the virtual globe for the quality of our ATC training, and our airports consistently rank amongst the busiest of those on the Network. We have developed a close-knit community of flight simulation enthusiasts - whether you are a student longing for a career in aviation, a retired professional looking for a new hobby or simply someone who loves flying and wants to meet other like-minded individuals, I am sure you will feel at home within our Division.

I would encourage all members, particularly those at the beginning of their VATSIM journey, to join our Discord server and take advantage of the wealth of knowledge within our community. We also offer a bespoke ‘Flying Programme’ as a natural successor to the P0 rating, where newer members are able to receive one-on-one, live training with our experienced flight instructors. For members interested in becoming a virtual air traffic controller, our website contains a useful guide to help you understand the training process and requirements.

Joining VATSIM UK has given me everything from new friends and memorable trips, to career advice and flying tips. I hope that everyone is able to benefit from our incredible community just as much as I have and I can guarantee that, regardless of your reason for joining VATSIM UK, you will be met with a warm welcome.
