Air Traffic Control Event
Air Traffic Control Group Flight!
20th of May Starting at 2030z (2130 UK, 1530 Eastern) on Steam.
ALL PILOTS AND CONTROLLERS ARE VERY WELCOME.
The more controllers that can attend, the more Airports can be open.
But there's no point having lots of controllers if we have nothing to control.
So..
Lots of pilots are also needed both experienced and not so experienced or even no experience.
The type of service you receive will depend on how well you know Air Traffic procedures so don't be scared to contact ATC.
We Controllers are friendly folk so if your unsure what to say just tell us in plain English what you would like to do.
And if your unsure of what we have asked you to do, again just ask us what we mean in plain English.
The Session...
I'm planning this as a UK session with hopefully airports in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. (Controllers dependent).
As more controllers join more Airports will open.
There will be no Ground or Radar controllers (unless an airport gets very busy) and Tower will control everything around their airspace.
If 2 airports are fairly close then the 2 towers will negotiate what bits are theirs.
Comms/Radio:
Comms will be using the MSFlights Teamspeak 3 server only (no FSX Comms).
All Teamspeak Air traffic Control Channels will have the frequency of the controller within its name.
When asked to contact the next controller either find the frequency you were given (or the name of the controller) in Teamspeak and switch channels.
Anybody with the SIMCOM Plugin will be able to use it in this session for a more realistic ATC Experience.
But SIMCOM is not needed and those without will be able to switch channels as normal.
I hope to see (well hear) as many people as possible on the day.
Any Pilots looking to use a realistic Callsign can get a callsign list from this post.
Remember this session is open to pilots and ATC of ALL ability, so if you don't understand something don't worry you don't NEED to.
You just ask the controller to explain what they want you to do.
I have no contact with any of the other groups so if another Admin would like to invite them that would be appreciated.
