"On Wednesday, February 28, 2024, at 03:10 (UTC), I had the pleasure of flying out of Vancouver and Brad was our ATC for centre. Mr. Brad Crockett was amazing, as always, his communications are clear and speed is perfect to assist all with their communications. Brad is what Vatsim is all about and is amazing at his job. I want to thank all the ATCs from CZVR as its nice to have ATC in the area of the world. Truly appreciate Brad tonight and his amazing communications. Your centre is one of the great ones here on Vatsim and a big thank you to all. Keep up the great work Brad, you are a valuable team member here and I enjoyed my flight out of Vancouver because of your services. Toodaloo Vatsim family have a great rest of youre week. -Marc Bracco"

"Basille was serving as Vancouver Center on January 12th 2024, i was part of a FlyUVA group flight from Seattle to Ketchitkan when i entered his airspace and was cleared to FL380. Passing through FL300 I suffered an engine failure and began to lose speed and altitude. I notified Vancouver Center and Basile was accommodating in giving me a block of altitude to work my checklists and attempt to salvage the situation. When that was not enough i requested a diversion to Vancouver, basile vectored me in through an unknown airpsace i had not flown through and helped me get my plane safely on the ground. This has been my best experience ever on VATSIM in my 10 years on the network. I wish every controller would aspire to have the grace and humility he displayed that night. Great job Basile!!"
"Very patient and accommodating when I performed a missed approach into a visual circuit into Kelowna."
"Mr. Papillon controlled in a very professional and courteous manner."
"Hello, my flight plan was CYVR to CYYC on December 10th, 2023 as QFA21 SUPER. I believe there was an event going on at CYVR. Although i am a TEXT ONLY pilot which can be frustrating to some controllers, Rocky offered the utmost professionalism and precise communication on the ground at CYVR and once i was airborne - keep up the great work!!"
"Hello, my flight plan was CYVR to CYYC on December 10th, 2023 as QFA21 SUPER. I believe there was an event going on at CYVR.

"Always a pleasure flying in Vancouver airspace. Brad is always polite and professional."

"Brad was great on my flight today and did a great job managing all the planes in the airspace with an upbeat and fun demeanor. Nice job!"
"Some quick feedback regarding the Trip To The Mountains event last night (not specific to one controller). First, a very big thank you to the Vancouver FIR and each of the controllers that participated in the event. All of you did a great job! I flew VFR as Harbour Air from Kelowna to Vancouver. Although VFR services are “lighter” than those of IFR, I appreciated the traffic callouts, altimeter settings, arrival preparation, etc. But, the best part of my flight was hearing friendly and professional controller voices on frequency, from engine startup to shutdown. This type of positive controller atmosphere is what motivates me to continue flying in the area."
"Very friendly controller, with lots of patience and professional!"
"Alexander is doing fantastic, I'm very impressed in his ability on his solo cert. Even with some network bugs going on, he's on point. He's concise, clear, and very helpful when needed. Nothing but good things to say about his work, I think he's ready for a checkout and a c1!"
"Best of the best! Great communication, skill and a organised controller! Good Job josh"
"Was very helpful and even made sure I received my taxi instructions right before he disconnected as I was pushing back at that time. I appreciated it a lot, 10/10 controller :)"
"Super awesome guy, and willing to help a newbie"
"Thanks for controlling this morning and adding to my experience. I continue to enjoy the controllers in YVR airspace and will be back again. Rocky was professional, clear and got me into CYLW smoothly!"
"Great service and an amazing job. Super helpful with weather updates and assistance. Definitely want to fly when he is controlling had a great time!"
"Matthew did a great job handling aircraft and guiding me in to my airport. He was patient, professional and a pleasure to fly under. Thanks for taking time to control!"
"Great service! Thank you!"
"Had a very nice flight into Victoria courtesy of Devin. Professional and personable. Thanks for making it enjoyable! N8MR"
"Had an amazing time flying cycd and Cyvr tonight. Super busy traffic, lots of Atc. My tower controller showed some cool skills keeping me sequenced on final by giving s turns and traffic pointouts and speed instructions. Thanks for the service to everybody tonight."
"Extremely helpful and friendly, goes out of his way to help new pilots and explains if somebody did something wrong and what to do next time in a helpful and friendly manor. An absolute credit to vatsim."
"Brad was very friendly and patient. 10/10 would fly through Vancouver Centre again."
"Feedback from my flight last night (Apr 30, 0100Z). Basile was working the CYVR tower position during the West Coast Wednesday event and did a great job handling traffic. Basil was professional and friendly on the radio, assisting pilots and working my departure from the CAM9 seaplane base. I appreciate the coordinated VFR departure amongst all the airline traffic taking off and landing. Thank you for the accommodation and the great ATC support last night!"
"I would like to leave positive feedback for controller Matt Leon. Last night I flew during the West Coast Wednesday event (Apr 30 / 0130z) VFR from CAM9 to CYBL in a floatplane. He provided great VFR flight following in the Vancouver area. Matt was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable during my flight. A very nice experience! Thanks for your great service in the VATSIM community, it's appreciated."
"Observant, friendly and courteous, even though I was only in contact briefly. I don't normally fly in / near Canada much anymore, but if I do Vancouver area seems the way to go. Great job!"
"Very patient / kind controller as I was having a big of an off night. Thanks!"
"I had my first vatsim flight in years last week. I was trying out my new home cockpit setup and the traffic was not much at the time. The approach controller at yyj assisted me with verifying my physical transponder functioned as I expected so that Atc would get the right info from my system. The whole hour session in the pattern following was so immersive and fun and the Atc was very professional. Thanks so much czvr!"
"Amazing atc from both tower and center after I had taken a short vfr trip from the Vancouver area. Willing to stay on a bit later to help as well as keep everything fun."
