Your Essential VATSIM Controller Alert Application
Imagine you're halfway through your four-hour virtual flight from LGAV to EGLL with no ATC coverage. You step away briefly for a snack, only to return and discover that ATC came online while you were gone. They sent you a private message, but by the time you respond, they inform you, "I tried contacting you 25 minutes ago—you're now leaving my airspace."
Prevent this from ever happening again! With this straightforward app, just enter your callsign and receive instant alerts when you enter or approach an ATC-controlled sector. You can set your preferred notification range from the controlled area—the default is 20 nautical miles. The application integrates seamlessly with VATSIM data servers.
VatAlert is an indispensable tool for every VATSIM pilot seeking timely controller updates. Get immediate notifications when a VATSIM controller logs on in your current flight area, or as you near controlled airspace. Never miss the opportunity to interact with ATC and elevate your simulation realism.

ATC Monitoring
Planning your next flight but waiting for ATC coverage at your favorite airport? Stop manually checking for online controllers. Simply specify the ATC station you want alerts for, or enter the beginning letters of an ICAO code to receive notifications for all matching facilities as they come online (e.g., “LG” matches LGAV_APP, LGAV_TWR, LGGG_CTR, LGTS_APP, etc.).
Please note: The VATSIM Code of Conduct permits pilots to be away from the cockpit for up to 30 minutes with valid reason. Each pilot is responsible for adhering to VATSIM regulations.
