Handling the Virtual Jets is a weekly podcast about flying flight simulators well, especially online on VATSIM. The show focuses on thinking like a pilot -- understanding how the aviation system works, how pilots and ATC fit together, and how good judgement and workload management make flying calmer and more immersive. With real-world insight, everyday training anecdotes, aviation news and moments overheard on the frequency, it’s about understanding the system, not memorising scripts.
