Ahmed Hasan 958620 Posted May 2, 2009 at 05:38 PM Posted May 2, 2009 at 05:38 PM Hello I've been at the VATME Online night event at Cairo Approach Facility and the CTR was online we got traffic callsign : AFR154 On 2nd May 2009 the pilot was at FL70 And Climbing when he suddenly showed FL370 And Climbing I checked with the pilot and he said he is at FL70 and Climbing I asked a fellow controller who was on HECC_CTR And he confirmed what the pilot said I took screenshot from what the a/c data tag showed at my scope and CTR's scope a few seconds later the CTR Confirmed that the pilot jumped to FL500 and Climbing I think there is 20,000 FT of difference between radar indication and real one !! So can someone clarify !? Ahmed H[Mod - Happy Thoughts]an Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Phillips 947617 Posted May 5, 2009 at 11:18 AM Posted May 5, 2009 at 11:18 AM This may be a flight sim issue, and not control client issue. The altitude may be received incorrectly from flight sim, thus seems to be incorrect on the scope. Was this happening with other aircraft, or just this one?

Craig Thanks for the reply It was only this a/c I think its a VRC issue because it is displaying 2 different altitudes on 2 different scopes at the same time but the same pilot I identified him at FL370 While my colleague got him at FL070 Ahmed H[Mod - Happy Thoughts]an Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted May 5, 2009 at 03:57 PM Posted May 5, 2009 at 03:57 PM Since it only happened with that one aircraft, it's hard to imagine how this could be a problem with VRC, especially since it's never been reported before in the years that VRC has been in use. I can't rule anything out, though. Is this a problem that you see consistently, or was it just this one time?

Thanks Ross for your kind reply This have been the first time for ME to see it but if i remember correctly I think that the pilot advised that he used to have that problem before reported by other ATCs so maybe something is wrong with the Pilots PC Ahmed H[Mod - Happy Thoughts]an Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
