“Please view the forum for using ATC instructions”

Hello, I have been playing this game for 6 years, however never been a grinder for info nor XP, and still to this day people keep telling me new information I never even knew, which makes me feel stupid. But my main topic is, is that is there a main post I should check out for ATC instructions before I play expert again? I keep getting the same message and I’m just wondering if anyone can send me a link to that post if there is one? Thanks.

Hi there! Check out this below. This has a bunch of info of how to communicate properly to atc and what commands mean. It should be easy to spot what you are doing wrong with the proper procedures listed below.

Do you get this after a certain command you send?

Such as reporting inbound, or checking into an approach controller?

These handouts are usually given when incorrect procedures or actions are used.

Thanks dude, it should help my question ;)

I’ve got them for many reasons before, but mainly when I request inbound for landing on the tower frequency

[Asher]

Mainly we send this when a pilot is too high or too far. Typically you should contact tower when your below 10,000ft and within 25nm from the airport. Calling inbound is another tutorial available in the link I provided above.

You have to say inbound for landing (Vectors to airport) inbound for ILS/GPS/Visual (if you were cleared by approach to do one of these approaches, thats what you call into Tower. Your not supposed to say “On Final”. Thats not correctly calling inbound for landing.

Maybe read the IFATC manual while you’re at it! You can gain some great insight there.

What this is: With long-haul flights bringing more and more pilots to Expert quicker, a simple list of habits picked up on TS that should be left behind. What this is not: A thread to rehash every nuisance encountered on TS; every picture of a plane passing through another, etc.; a tutorial (those should, however, be read if you’d don’t want your first and second sessions on Expert to be a week apart; as always, this is not a callout thread or a roll call of who ‘does it right’.

Violations will kill you, so keep your speed in check in the air and on the ground. When descending, note that speeds will increase for aircraft like the DC10 below 10000 feet.

Descend to the altitude instructed while in or entering the hold. Do not deviate from the instructions given. 230kts is 230kts indicated airspeed (IAS). Headings must be followed…

Check Help Pages

Please check tutorials on the forum for assistance using ATC instructions…. If you are reading this post, because the IFATC referred you to #tutorials great! I do hope you find your answer. Pilots flying in Expert server, are expected to know how to behave and read and apply the tutorials. If an IFATC sees a pilot making an error, which we don’t expect to see on Expert, she or he will refer the pilot to help pages. And we then hope this pilot actually goes away and does exactly this. This po…
