[Daniel Faria]

Hey all. I Daniel Faria and I was wondering how to readback an oceanic clearence. I was flying from like eddf to kbos and then eurocontrol hadnded me over to NAT_FSS. I didnt even know I had to request clearence to cross but i had used sim aware and it gave me on my route a bunch of N42-2s all these well  ??? so he is like are you here to request a clearence? Im like uuuh ya. he like ok you are cleared to kbos by 42n 54s 58N s245 N58S 42N 62S 72W 42N and then he ended the transmiton. so I had barely any Idea what he said and i thought it was the route on my FMS so im like... ROGER THANKS and then he is like um sir I need the full readback... 😮😮😮😮😮😮 uuuuh then i am like um can you send oceanic clearence via text? He is like ok stankby. I felt SOOOO bad for him to send that huge clearence via text but ok. so how do you guys do it? do you type is all down really quicky??? Well that time it did not really matter because i was at fl300 on xplane 11 flying on the mouse and you know it went t touch something on the cockpit and EXPLODED sad ending for me. hahahaahha.

Hi Daniel

You need to be a little more prepared for you flight across the pond. You can have a look at https://community.vatsim.uk/files/downloads/file/261-notam-implementation-of-ads-b-over-the-ocean/

and also https://www.virtualnorwegian.net/oceanic/

or head over to Vatsim Scandinavia and have a look at https://vatsim-scandinavia.org/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=2107 as example

All of the above resources suggested by Torben are great sources of information.  You might also want to look at Gander Oceanic's page Oceanic Clearance Generator - Gander Oceanic OCA   This does  not generate your clearance request, but generates what you need to say to ATC.
