VATeir 'Green Card Scheme'

July 20th, 2010 09:34

VATeir is excited to announce the launch of our new Green Card Scheme, which will take effect from August 1st.

Green Card Scheme - What Is It?

VATeir’s new Green Card Scheme is a new initiative to allow controllers from any division control certain airports/positions in Ireland corresponding to the rating they hold, without the need for visiting status or to receive approval from VATeir. With this new initiative, VATeir aims to:

• Provide a means for ALL VATSIM controllers holding at least an S2 rating to experience ATC in a different country other than their own.
• Build on the progress made by VATEUD through the Open Sky project with a fresh initiative.

What Do I Need?

To control in Ireland all you need is the following:

• A willingness to learn, and experience something new.
• An S2 rating or higher.
• Procedures Document for the airport in question – Click Here
• Charts for the airport in question - Click Here
• EuroScope – The primary ATC client used in Europe.


• The VATeir EuroScope Sector and ESE files - Click Here

What Airports/Positions Are Covered?

For the initial trial period the following airports are covered:

• Cork (EICK) APP/TWR/GND
