Have you made a VATSIM account, but feel intimidated every time you try to speak on the frequency? Or have you yet to make an account in fear that you haven't got what it takes yet? Then this is the event for you!


At busy airports, or events, it can be a little tricky to learn and get used to the pace. To help overcome that VATSIM created the First Wings events, dedicated to helping pilots get used to the phraseology, the procedures, and what is expected of them.


For this edition, we will be flying in Europe. Two citypairs are available for you to choose from. Fly between Riga (EVRA) and Copenhagen (EKCH), departing either airport from 14 to 16 UTC; or fly between Kyiv (UKBB) and Warsaw (EPWA), with departures going from 16 until 18 UTC.


Both before and during the event experienced and patient controllers and pilots will be on the VATSIM Discord to help answer any questions you have. You may join the discord through https://community.vatsim.net/. If you do not use Discord, VATSIM Supervisors will be on hand during the events, and can at any time be reached via a .wallop.


These events will now be held on a regular basis, with one edition occurring on the start of each month. To allow everyone to participate, regardless of their timezone, the location of the event rotates every month, passing through all corners of the World.
