Denver ARTCC Recruiting

In the past few months the Denver ARTCC has undergone some changes. We are now in the luxury position of having a large training staff. We are therefore looking for motivated student controllers.

What does the Denver ARTCC have to offer?

● A mature and dedicated training staff that includes real-world pilots (both private and commercial) and a graduated air traffic controller.

● Very well written study guides and training videos to help you attain your VATSIM controller ratings and increase your overall knowledge of air traffic procedures.

● Highly organized and well documented procedures for all our controlled airports and TRACONs.

● The most diverse terrain in VATUSA. Most of the Rocky Mountains are within our airspace. As a result, vectoring aircraft into and out of many of our airports can be a real challenge.

● Arrangements with several Virtual Airlines to provide regular traffic for our student training and testing.

● Some amazing airports including the most modern and organized international airport in the US, the highest airport in the US and the most dangerous airport in North America.

What does the Denver ARTCC expect from it’s students?

● Come prepared to your training sessions. We have a wealth of material available to our students and we expect that a student studies the subjects that will be covered before the training session commences. This makes training a fun experience where instructor and student can focus on practical implementation of knowledge through simulated, or live traffic scenarios.

● Be available for training. Especially in the early stages of training it is important to train at regular intervals (ideally once or more per week in about two hour blocks).

● Have a mature and responsible attitude. We provide a service to others in our online community. The key to becoming a good controller is willingness to help out pilots and we look for that in our student controllers.
