Your Personal VATSIM Controller Notification App

Imagine you're halfway through your 4-hour online flight from LGAV to EGLL. There has been no ATC available, so you decide to step away for a quick snack. The moment you leave your cockpit, an ATC controller comes online. They send you a private message, but you aren't there to reply. When you finally return to your cockpit, you see the message and try to contact the controller. "I called you 25 minutes ago; you are now leaving my airspace."

Prevent this from ever happening again! With this simple app, you just provide your callsign and receive notifications as soon as you enter an ATC-controlled area or when you are approaching one. You can specify the distance from the controlled area at which you want to be alerted (the default is 20nm). The application integrates directly with VATSIM data servers.

VatAlert is an essential tool for every VATSIM pilot who wants to stay informed with the latest controller updates. With VatAlert, you’ll get instant alerts when a VATSIM controller comes online in the airspace you're flying in—or as you approach a controlled area. This ensures you never miss an opportunity to interact with a controller and enjoy a more authentic flight simulation experience.

ATC Tracking

Feel like flying today but want to depart from your favorite airport with online ATC? No more manually checking for controller availability. Just enter the ATC station you want to track, and we'll notify you as soon as it comes online. Alternatively, enter the first few letters of the ICAO code, and you’ll receive notifications for all matching stations as they become active (e.g., entering LG matches LGAV_APP, LGAV_TWR, LGGG_CTR, LGTS_APP, etc.).

Please note: The VATSIM Code of Conduct allows pilots to be absent from the cockpit for up to 30 minutes if there is a valid reason. It is each pilot's responsibility to comply with VATSIM regulations.
