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.

This is an opportunity for ALL PILOTS, but especially those from all of Canada's Virtual Airlines to get out the 'small iron' and fill up Toronto FIR's skies with the smaller aircraft that our airlines operate. Beechcraft 1900s, Dash 8s, ERJs, CRJs, and maybe the occasional B737 for our friends at WestJet.
Keep the aircraft small, the routes short, and the legs multiple! CZYZ FIR will be providing full staffing at CYYZ and a minimum of tower staffing at CYOW, CYHM, and CYXU. Other towers around the province may be staffed as personnel availability dictates.
The neighbouring Cleveland, Montreal, and Winnipeg FIRs will be invited to staff their FIRs. Come out and celebrate our newest statutory holiday by taking a flight in CZYZ!
