ATC Communications Layout - Gate to Gate. ATC Communications Layout of VATSIM. I put this together for those that are new to VATSIM or for those that have wanted to try VATSIM for some time but may have been a bit apprehensive about getting started. This could be due to the termonology/comminication aspects of VATSIM and not so much the flying itself. Having to interact with controllers can be somewhat daunting. I hope this small two page approach breaking down the various phases of communication between yourself and VATSIM controllers will help you understand just how easy and enjoyable VATSIM can be. I hope you find this helpful. By Michael Swannick.
