Callsign whilst flying on Vatsim?

[Benjamin Scheiner]

What callsign is to be used when flying online via Vatsim? I'd imagine that the 3-letter callsign code is "ACHxxxx", but how does one verbally communicate? With American Airlines, it's, "American xxxx", or British Airways is, "Speedbird xxxx". Would I simply use, "Air Child xxxx"?

Just want to clarify, as I'm sure I'll be flying on Vatsim tomorrow at some point!

What a fantastic VA working for a fantastic cause! Very excited to be here. :hi:

Hello Benjamin,

first of all, Welcome to Air-Child.

Yes, the 3-letter callsign code is "ACHxxxx", and for communicating with ATC you are using "Air Child xxxx"

Best regards
Norbert

Meanwhile the online ATC knows Air-Child in the beginning of Air-Child and nowadays only sometimes I had to spell it - ALPHA CHARLY HOTEL…..
