Stats as of September 5, 2010
ZOA is dedicated to becoming one of the most professional ARTCCs in VATUSA, and you will be expected to learn quite a bit. You'll need to be prepared to spend some time getting to know our training material. The payoff is that you will be among some of the finest controllers on VATSIM.
The most important step in starting your training is to become familiar with the contents of this site. Use the Forum to introduce yourself and ask for any help. Don't be shy about asking questions, we are here to help and are a friendly bunch. Pay special attention to recent changes by checking the NOTAMs page and be sure to review the SOP and Policy statements from the SOPs/LOAs page. Reviewing and understanding every SOP that ZOA has to offer is vital to your controlling career at ZOA.
Download the Oakland CTR sector file and any other sectors you might be interested in. Familiarize yourself with the airports, navaids, and geography of the ZOA airspace.
You are required to take the ZOA SOP exam and Clearance Delivery / Ground exam. The Training Administrator or an Instructor will arrange to have it emailed to you, and it will test that you have read through the SOPs and policies and are familiar with basic airport operations. The procedure for taking this test is the same as the VATUSA pilot/observer test that you took prior to joining ZOA ARTCC. You may not control unsupervised until you pass the SOP exam. When you do pass this test, in accordance with our Facility Certification Policy, you may work any Class D Tower. When you pass the Delivery/Ground exam you can work Ground at any Class C airport.
New controllers should begin to work through the Student 1 (S1) Syllabus on the Controller Training page. Extensive practical training information is at your fingertips in this section of the web site.
Student S1 and S2 controllers are primarily trained by the Mentor Team. The Deputy ATM runs the mentor program and can assist you in locating mentors for your initial training. Posting in the discussion forum is the best place to introduce yourself and alert the mentors to your joining the ARTCC.
The Instructor Staff:
Michael Mund-Hoym, Air Traffic Manager
Chuck Barlow, Deputy Air Traffic Manager
Adam Hulse, Training Administrator
David Carman, Staff Instructor
Paul Biderman, Staff Instructor
Email addresses for all staff members can be found on the Staff List.
