Hello, welcome to the community

To be a IFATC you must know what you are doing and go thru two test. Ground Control, and Tower control. Theirs also a optional test. You can learn basic towers command by going on YouTube and find the Official Infinite Flight Youtube Channel. A lot of ATC tutorial there.

If you want your test, contact a ATC manager…

Someone like @Joe can get you started in ATC

Thanks Carson! I don’t want to bother you further however, when I click on the ATC button the app i get stuck. I’m not sure how to access it. I don’t suppose you know where I can find instructions?

Any help would be gratefully received, thanks.

Thanks for your help.#

I will watch the YouTube videos as your suggest and get some practice in on Playground mode before I contact Joe.

I just need to figure out how to access Playground mode.

Thanks,

Christian

You should be able to hit the air traffic control button instead of live or solo, then just select the playground and what you want to control.

I think @Mark_Denton would be better suited to help guide you through this process. He can definitely get you logged onto the Playground. He prefers to be messaged both on the forum AND on Facebook. If he doesn’t answer you right away, be sure to send him a few reminders, he’s forgetful.

Good Luck!

Ah great thanks! I have managed to work how to get on the playground mode now thanks for your help. I am now just trying to work out how to communicate with the aircraft. I am loaded onto South Cali and the view I have is from the control tower. I can see all the aircraft.

I can’t seem to find the option to send advisories.

On the left hand side of my screen i have a options to view “Status” or “Tower”. I can only pan the view around on the tower mode and status mode shows me an overview of activity over each airport.

Do you know how I can send advisories to aircraft?

Thanks so much for your help!!
