AUTOMATIC CLEARANCE SOFTWARE

Hey folks,

Is there a software that we can have that we use to contact clearance delivery so it's basically done in a second? (close) instead of waiting for a controller to respond? I talked with one controller last year in JFK during CTP westbound and he talked to me about it and now I forgot what it is? I think its for ground as well?

 

Thanks,

Nick

you mean ACARS? its not automatic. no such automatic program exists with live controllers.

 

what you may be confusing it with is pre departure clearances. in this case, the clearance is given ahead of time, online usually by email or event notice/registration, all you do is check in and you are given your squawk

No not ACARS (maybe?), well to explain a bit better, I was waiting for my clearance last fall, it was way past my TOT, so i checked this one frequency and asked for clearance since there were multiple, and the controller said i needed this one software thing. it sends it right away and he clicks and then i receive it back and off i go, basically.

 

a bit better?

controllers that use it will indicate ACARS is available in their controller info
