IMMAG.com The process to join the Advanced ATC team starts by contacting one of our ten highly qualified volunteer ATC recruiters. The recruiters will verify that the applicant meets the minimum required ATC experience and in-game stats which ensures we’re recruiting the most mature and professional users in the community. After qualifying, the candidate will take a timed knowledge test that must be passed with an 80% or higher mark to continue. Following the knowledge test, users will display the ability to control five aircraft at a standard testing location, exhibiting a sound understanding of everyday Infinite Flight ATC procedures.
