![]() ATC will have this same button to hold down onto. Pilots using LVC will hold down the headset button in the bottom left corner to turn on their mic and speak. That signals the pilot to speak to the ATC and say whatever they need to say. Once the controller goes down the list of priority and selects the pilot’s name and callsign strip, the controller will then say “Delta 1236, say intentions”. ![]() Once the pilot chooses the type of communication they want, they will be put into the queue above in the selected priority. Once they click it, the pilot will select the type of communication they want to use (For example with tower: The pilot will have a selection of Landing, Departing, or Runway Crossing). Instead, once clicking on the headset button, there will be a button to request to speak to ATC. Pilots using LVC will no longer have the CATC menu to select from. The same way the menu for CATC is right now will be present. If ATC is using CATC, the queue system above won’t be there. (The only difference in the pilot strips is ATC has the ability to move the pilot strips between the different categories of priority using the 3 lines) (This is a Tower Frequency using LVC If they use CATC, the current menu will be there) If what the pilot did wrong is too much to explain in a short time for ATC, ATC could say, “Check the user guide on the home-screen on how to properly call inbound into tower”. This will make using “Check User Guide” less confusing. For example if a pilot is cleared for an ILS approach, but they contact tower reporting their position instead of calling inbound, the ATC could easily let the pilot know that they always need to call inbound when first contacting tower for landing. LVC will make it easier to help educate pilots on the proper use of ATC instructions. ![]() The first communication with a pilot on a new frequency, when using LVC, ATC must say the name of the frequency. The biggest thing pilots need to remember when using LVC is to use less words at all times, and to always repeat ATC instructions in its entirety. Whenever ATC turns on their mic, all pilots mics are silenced immediately until the ATC turns off their mic. If ATC does not enable LVC in any frequency, pilots will not be able to use LVC. Using LVC will always be at the discretion of ATC. ATC using Tower and Ground, pilots on Tower frequency will always have speaking priorities over pilots on the ground frequency for obvious reasons. The idea of LVC would work best if there are multiple frequencies open. In this situation, ATC must use the standard terminology when dealing with pilots using CATC so the pilots understand. So if ATC wants to use LVC and CATC on Tower and only CATC on ground, that is an option since it will be hard trying to communicate over Tower and Ground using LVC in a busy airspace.ĪTC will also be able use LVC while the pilot uses CATC. These options can also be set for certain frequencies. ATC will get to choose whether to do both LVC and CATC or only use CATC but there will never be an option to use LVC only. !!! → ( Live Voice Communication: “LVC” | Current ATC Communication: “CATC”) ← !!!Įnabling LVC for pilots and ATC does not replace CATC. In this post I will be using KATL as an example airport for ATC communication. Below is all the different roadblocks I thought about when having Live ATC voice controlling and how I suggest to work around them. This would be way easier to control in busy airspaces as well as have a more unlimited set of commands tailored to the specific operations of different airports who may run things differently. FDS has always pushed the limits of what a mobile flight simulator should look like and I think we are more than capable of creating a system of using our real voices when doing ATC controlling. ![]() Having Live ATC in Infinite Flight is one of the most realistic systems we can have in a mobile flight simulator.
