BVA is one possible way that a pilot may choose to connect to VATSIM see below for more information about VATSIM. BVA’s rigorously trained and certified online controllers, including several retired and current FAA controllers, work together with talented pilots to provide what they consider to be the most immersive, realistic flight simulation experience available online.īVA operates on the VATSIM network, and thus members can connect using any flight simulator platform (including FSX, FSX: Steam Edition, Prepar3D, and X-Plane). While more than 60% of BVA members are rated or student pilots, the community is welcoming of members from all skill levels.Īnd above all, BVA members are always happy to help and welcome aviation enthusiasts. The community offers an extensive library of online materials as well as an active Virtual FBO, through which live, in-aircraft coaching is available for new members.

Pilots are free to fly anywhere in the world, but feel most at home in the 165,000 square miles of airspace in the northeast corner of the United States. BVA is an integrated community of pilots and controllers that operates Boston Center, or ZBW, on the VATSIM network.

Boston Virtual ARTCC (BVA) is a free aviation community that provides live, realistic, and professional virtual air traffic control in a truly communal environment where everyone is willing to learn and happy to help.
