Graham Woodley Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Hi, I was flying out of LL this morning, under the superb control of LON_CTR (Fraser, I think it was), I think I heard him make a broadcast on frequency about automatic clearances are available .....EGTT..... I didn't get it all, but I wondered what it is? An alternative to calling for clearance? Interested to know, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Wong Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 PDC maybe? A pre-departure clearance which doesn't requires voice communication to obtain 1 Do you want your Virtual Airline to become an official partner on VATSIM or to participate in the VAA Program?

Koen Meier Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 clearance would be PDC through the Hoppie network and perhaps also CPDLC services through Hoppie for aircraft above the minimum level to operate cpdlc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Woodley Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) OK thanks, if it's a Hoppie thing, that's something I don't use. Edited October 5, 2020 by Graham Woodley 1072813 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Woodley Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 Thanks Andreas, that is something I will have to look into, certainly useful at a busy Heathrow when poor LON_CTR is doing everything! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Christie Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Doesnt nessacerlly have to be via Hoppies, if you have an alias file you can PDC via PM with a dot command. This is what VATSYS does, really handy when running enroute with a couple of clicks I can send a PDC as soon as the pilot files a flight plan.
