Kevin McBrady Posted July 3, 2022 at 03:29 AM Posted July 3, 2022 at 03:29 AM What do these terms, with Quebec or with Echo mean... Ive also seen Alpha ??? Just started and had my first 2 flights today, but kinda bungled them both, but the ATC at both Boston and Vancouver, were great, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Christie Posted July 3, 2022 at 03:38 AM Posted July 3, 2022 at 03:38 AM (edited) It means the pilot has obtained the ATIS for that airport. The phonetic letter Alpha, Echo ect is the ATIS Identifier. Each ATIS has a letter that identifies which is current and changes to the next letter in the sequence for each update, for example if a pilot calls up and says they have Echo, but Foxtrot is now current, then the controller advises them that the ATIS they have is out of date. The ATIS will change with the weather change.https://my.vatsim.net/learn/aviation-knowledge/section/122 will help you.

Alistair Thomson Posted July 3, 2022 at 03:28 PM Posted July 3, 2022 at 03:28 PM The identification letter of the ATIS broadcast is given at the beginning of the broadcast, eg. "Stansted information Quebec" indicates that this ATIS broadcast for Stansted airfield has the ident Q. 1 Alistair Thomson === Definition: a gentleman is a flying instructor in a Piper Cherokee who can change tanks without getting his face slapped.
