On January 14, 2012, the vSTARS ATC client was approved for use on the VATSIM network. [43] Also created by Ross Carlson, the client aims to replicate the real-world STARS system used in many US TRACON facilities. On February 27, 2016, the vERAM ATC client was approved for use on the VATSIM network. [44]
International Virtual Aviation Organisation VZW (IVAO) is a non-profit association which operates a free-of-charge online flight-simulation network. [4] Following free registration users can connect to the IVAO Network (IVAN) either as a virtual air traffic controller or as a virtual pilot and engage and interact with each other in a massively multiplayer environment utilising real-world ...
CRAFT stands for: Clearance limit, the end point of the clearance (usually, but not always, the destination airport); Route, the route that the flight is to follow as part of the clearance (often the route originally filed, although ATC may change this)
Aircraft not in contact with an ATC facility while enroute to/from or within the designated fire fighting area(s). [3] [11] 1273–1275 US: Calibration Performance Monitoring Equipment (CPME) "Parrot" transponders. [3] 1276 US: Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) penetration when unable to establish communication with ATC or aeronautical ...
Automatic terminal information service, or ATIS, is a continuous broadcast of recorded aeronautical information in busier terminal areas.ATIS broadcasts contain essential information, such as current weather information, active runways, available approaches, and any other information required by the pilots, such as important NOTAMs.
Commercial aircraft on hold will generally fly slow, racetrack-shaped patterns which differ considerably from the airfield traffic pattern that will be commenced once the approval has been given to land. Although an aircraft in a holding pattern may similarly circle the airport, ATC may designate a distant location in which to circle.
FlightGear started as an online proposal in 1996 by David Murr, living in the United States. He was dissatisfied with proprietary, available, simulators like the Microsoft Flight Simulator, citing motivations of companies not aligning with the simulators' players ("simmers"), and proposed a new flight simulator developed by volunteers over the Internet.
Regardless of the form used, air traffic controllers (ATC) issue clearances based on filed equipment codes, therefore it is important for pilots to use the appropriate coding. For example, if a desired route requires GPS , then the pilot should file /G, even if the aircraft also qualifies for other suffixes (this may be moot due to new RNAV ...
