Why it's in the directory
VATSIM sits in ATC, Comms & Simulation — Listen in, fly online, and build the home cockpit. It earns a place here because it is a primary, actively maintained source rather than a rehost of someone else's data, and because it stays useful whether you are an enthusiast, a student or working the line.
