Only the following ATC Callsign suffixes are authorized for ATC: DEL, GND, TWR, APP, DEP, CTR and FSS.
- _CTR suffix is either "Control", "Radar", "Centre" or "Control Radar"
- _OBS suffix must be used by ALL members connecting as OBServers who do not provide ATC
- _FSS suffix must be used for VATSEA UIR sectors and Oceanic sectors, and any other station as specified below
- _SUP suffix is for VATSIM Supervisors on Supervisory duty, and
- "VATSEA#" or "VATxxx#" prefixes are for Divisional authorized staff only.
VATSIM decided and encouraged that all controllers should use voice as their primary mode of control.
All controllers are now expected to use voice by default. It is unnecessary and redundant to use the _V_ indicator. |
