Italian ATC On-line Day Award 2012

IVAO Italy division is proud to present the ON-LINE DAY ATC Award. Its a small virtual "prize" with the intent of increasing the opening of ATC positions in airports and areas that, usually, are "neglected" by ATCs. Every CH/ACH  has established for each ACC, which are the positions valid to get the award, as well as the days of the week (besides the on-line day) during which the opening of these positions is valid to get points. All the positions must be opened during the following timeframe:

• until March 24th, 2012 inclusive and from October 28th, 2012 from 19:00 UTC till 23:00 UTC  during working days, from 13:00 till 23:00 UTC on saturdays and holidays.
• from March 25th, 2012 until October 27th, 2012 inclusive from 18:00 UTC till 22:00 UTC during working days, from 12:00 till 22:00 UTC on saturdays and holidays.

BANNER CONTEST - IVAO ITALY Website 2012

Italy web department is working to modernize and improve IVAO Italy website. For this reason we are looking for volunteers willing to create a banner for the new home page. You can find all the necessary info reading this topic. 

Training is an integral part of a virtual air traffic controller "career"; without it, it won't be possible to form the Center Controllers (rating ACC or C3), pride of each division on the network.

For this reason and to give more impetus and a boost to those who are reluctant to take exams on IVAO, we decided to make it in a more user-friendly form.
In order to make the training more personal and specific for user needs, this will be handled directly by FIRs CH/ACH closely with the local trainers.

In this way, the user making a training request, will deal always with the same people throughout his training course, enriching his knowledges while receiving tips and explanations from people knowing thoroughly the area involved, thus providing more immediate and comprehensive explanations.

The IT- Division participate to the GCA (Guest Controller Approval) programme requiring, for user belonging to other divisions, an approval before the user itself is allowed to control a FRA restricted position.

All the info can be found at this page in the ATC section of the website.
