VatAlert

Your Personal VATSIM Controller Notification App

Are you tired of missing out on live air traffic control (ATC) during your VATSIM flights? Imagine being halfway through a four-hour journey from LGAV to EGLL, stepping away for a quick bite, only to return and find out you missed a controller's message because they came online while you were away. With VatAlert, this scenario becomes a thing of the past.

VatAlert is the essential app for all VATSIM pilots who want to stay informed about controller activity in real-time. By simply entering your callsign, VatAlert ensures you receive instant notifications when you enter or approach an ATC-controlled area. You can even customize the notification range (default set at 20 nautical miles) to suit your preferences. The app leverages the VATSIM data servers to deliver timely and accurate information.

Whether you're a seasoned VATSIM pilot or just starting your virtual flying journey, VatAlert enhances your simulation experience by ensuring you never miss an opportunity to engage with a live controller.

ATC Tracking

Planning to fly from your favorite airport with active ATC? No more constant checking required. Simply input the ATC you wish to be notified about, and VatAlert will alert you the moment they go online. You can also enter the initial letters of an ICAO code to receive notifications for all matching stations (e.g., "LG" for LGAV_APP, LGAV_TWR, LGGG_CTR, LGTS_APP, etc.).

Important Note: According to the VATSIM Code of Conduct, pilots are allowed up to 30 minutes absence from the cockpit if justified. It's crucial for all pilots to adhere to these rules.
