ATC Collaberation Feature

1

Hello guys. I wanted to post this in features, but because of my trust level, I am unable to. So if someone can please move this post over I would greatly appreciate it.

Anyways, I seem to constantly run into the problem of not being able to work together with other ATC’s at the same airport. For instance:

I want to use runway 31L for landings and 31R for takeoff. But because me and the ground cannot communicate, he/she ends up sending the aircraft that want to take off to the wrong runway. This same type of situation can be observed with Approach as well.

So what I propose is an optional voice chat for ATC to use when controlling in order to communicate with other ATC at the same airport.

Here is what I imagine it would look like. (See right side)

What do you guys think of this idea? Any feedback or additions to this would be fantastic!

Voice chat is not something that is not going to come soon or is being looked into. It would be very hard to moderate and is just a bit unpractical at this time. An alternative solution would be to add more ATC commands to better communicate your intentions.

If you are a member of IFATC, we do provide communication via Slack.
