Prospective Controllers

Looking for that sign-up page? We don't have one, and here's why: Fort Worth ARTCC is affiliated with the VATSIM United States Division, commonly known as VATUSA, and our membership is handled through the VATUSA Academy.

To join as a home controller with ZFW, you must:
  1. Change your region to North America and your division to United States, which can be done through the myVATSIM portal
  2. Complete all basic S1 training through the VATUSA Academy
  3. Request assignment to the Fort Worth ARTCC
After your request is approved, you will be given an ATC account and can begin training.
