Your Essential VATSIM Controller Alert Application
Imagine you're halfway through a four-hour online flight from LGAV to EGLL with no ATC coverage. You step away briefly for a snack, only to return and discover an ATC controller came online while you were gone. They sent a private message, but without a timely response, they inform you, "I contacted you 25 minutes ago—you're now leaving my airspace."
Prevent this from happening again! With this straightforward app, just enter your callsign, and you'll receive alerts when you enter or approach an ATC-controlled area. Customize the notification radius based on your preference—default is 20 nautical miles. The app integrates directly with VATSIM data servers.
VatAlert is a must-have tool for every VATSIM pilot who wants to stay informed about active controllers. Get instant updates when a VATSIM controller logs on in your flight zone—or as you near controlled airspace. Never miss the chance to interact with ATC and enjoy a fully immersive flight simulation experience.

**ATC Tracking**
Feel like flying today from your favorite airport with online ATC? Stop constantly refreshing to see when controllers come online. Just enter the specific ATC station you want alerts for—or type the first few ICAO letters (e.g., "LG" for LGAV\_APP, LGAV\_TWR, LGGG\_CTR, etc.) and receive notifications as matching stations become active.
Please note: The VATSIM Code of Conduct permits up to 30 minutes of absence from the cockpit with valid reason. Each pilot remains responsible for complying with VATSIM regulations.
