Pavan Bapat Posted January 22, 2021 at 04:19 AM Posted January 22, 2021 at 04:19 AM Can I contact CTR control if my towered airport is offline and I want ATC to another airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torben Andersen Posted January 22, 2021 at 08:25 AM Posted January 22, 2021 at 08:25 AM Short answer - yes! On VATSIM we have Topdown controlling, so a controlled airport should be controlled by CTR. However, uncontrolled airports might not. There you monitor and announce your intentions on Unicom. When airborne AND about to enter controlled airpace you contact CTR for clearence to enter controlled airspace. If you remain in uncontrolled airspace (class G) there is no need to contact CTR at all, unless you want flight following. regards 1 Torben Andersen, VACC-SCA Controller (C1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Vanderkam Posted February 7, 2021 at 04:12 AM Posted February 7, 2021 at 04:12 AM Topdown controlling: For any controller you want, if it is not available, check in with the next level up (DEL, then GND, then TWR, then DEP/APP, then CTR). Those poor CTR guys/gals have to do it all when they're alone. Hope that helps.
