James Larkin did a flight last night using Qf7879, hence Brodie doing BN-FSS.

In Reference to this post; https://forums.vatsim.net/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=79970
Does this mean, by using multiple frequencies we maybe impact on others joining the server?
-
Please forgive me for asking, but.....
The last couple of nights I’ve gone to connect, and realised by substantial investigation that the neighbouring sector was extending already.
So I gather the steps for logging on a Sector are;
logon as OBS, and PM the controller asking what they are covering?
-
I maybe am jumping on to early. I had a play last night, using the vATIS add on and I may possibly have it now, but using SERVInfo I can’t see any controller info.
-
I think the issue is that we can’t have text comments any longer Nick. I’m trying to find a way, so that 1. Pilots don’t have to step through 4 frequencies to see if they are active, and 2. CTR don’t have to be glued to ever target to see if they move, and/or send them contact me on xxx.xx.
I’m sure something can be sorted out, and I don’t believe I’m being negative, it is just a small thing that I think needs a fix. If I’m on as Tabletop, and a pilot wants to depart TL as IFR what frequency should he use first? Maybe better still if I’m extending from Downs.

I guess I’m coming from a pilots perspective, and my limited knowledge.
If a pilot joins the server on the ground at YBCS, I totally agree it would be great to be able to tune to SMC, then TWR, then APP, then TBD, then DOS. However if I do that will someone respond to me and say, “no one using the freq please try again” as I step up the chain of control.
As a fully trained “most realistic” pilot I could be very busy trying to find a freq that an ATC is active on???
So William, yes let’s go as real as possible...... but please don’t make it so real that it doesn’t work and pilots have no idea which frequency has an active controller on it.
Hence this post on 03 Oct. A pilot on the ground outside a primary sector won’t know until he gets a contact me.

Hey Callum, I’ve tryed but I can’t get any text to appear in controller info using VRC. The thing I’m trying to do, is comply with the requirement to show that I’m top-down.
any ideas?
-
A friend who flys in VATUSA reckons ENR is asking pilots to change to APP, and then TWR yet the pilot can’t see either position. So it is making things slightly confusing, although IRW we don’t have a list of frequencies displayed for us.
-
If this is real, it should be amazing.

Excellent. I won’t rush into ES then. Good work Jake.

Am I missing something. I thought that no matter what frequency the controller is using, pilot will only ever see the primary frequency. Why use several other frequencies that no-one can see.
it would be fantastic, if I could extend to an adjoining sector, or top down, and by doing so they appear as ‘live” to pilots. But, unless I’ve read it wrong this isn’t the case.

Is VRC supported?
-
Is there anywhere a member can get assistance in ES?

I guess like any professional training organisation we should set some pre-requisites for some courses, that is if we are expecting people to be at a certain level before starting the course. I can’t enrol in some cert iii level courses unless i’ve completed a cert ii in some cases. Even now the LLN screening mandated by ASQA means there is a pre-requisite for any course, namely writing, comprehension and math.
if we don’t want to teach people proficiency in Radar clients, do we say that? So we point them in a direction to achieve that?
i know i’ve tryed several times to get into ES, but without help i’m sorry it ain’t going to happen. So I’m sitting in VRC for the rest of my life.
I do think we have to be careful, that as clients develop, we don’t make the first step so big no-one can get on the train.

Doesn’t sweatbox do this in an offline environment. I know when I was briefly is VATUSA they used to test using sweatbox when they wanted to cover lots of aspects.

With reference to the above NOTAM, the US has deployed three seperate fleets for the exercise.
MC aircraft are Marine Corp
CN aircraft are Navy
CG aircraft are Coast Guard
A Marine Corp fleet is positioned roughly with a start point of CG03015 and terminates vic CG17020, with the fleet when moving travelling on a BRC of 170.
A Naval fleet is positioned roughly with a start point of BN08050 and terminates vic CG15040, with the fleet BRC of 150.
The COast Guard is positioned vic SU02015.
I have provided this image to them, so that the pilots are aware of our Class C airspace. They will mostly be operating VFR.

What? It’s in the calendar.

Did this event get cancelled, or do I have the wrong date/time?
Be handy if we posted a cancellation if it was pulled.
This Week (03/08/2019) from 0800z - 1000z:

Is the YBTL update compatible with ORBX AUSv2?

I laugh that NovaWings is a major sponsor. Sent him three email over about four years not one response.

Peter, I think Tristan is your best man here for FAA. I have never got past secondary airfields as it does my head. I do have the HCF training docs, as I’m sure Tristan has also.
couple of majors from my experience;
they clear aircraft into AND out of airspace,
‘point’ instead of ‘decimal’
their CRAFT includes ‘expect FLxxx one zero minutes after departure’ as an extension of ‘maintain xxxx’
provide Altimeter with initial taxi instructions

ATIS - how to access
in General
Posted
This is going to be a really stupid question, so no need to tell me.
How does a pilot get access to a controllers ATIS? I’m sitting at YBBN and for the life of me can’t find any atis although it shows as being live.
