These are hallmarks of Crew Resource Management/Aircrew Coordination Training - Enhanced (CRM/ACT-E).Ģ. In this case request-clearance-acknowledgement of clearance resolves any question that both the controller and aircraft are clear as to which tail number is cleared to do what. In response to your #1, positive two way communications and challenge-response format is critical to safety. This allows the ground and tower controllers as well Airfield Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) situational awareness in case of a fire or other emergency during the start. Now I do not know if this is a subject not highly researched by the DCS team, but looking at the sim at all other levels, I find it strange that this part holds (as far as I can see) this low standard. If I decide to land anyway I get a "taxi to parking" after landing.Īs mentioned above I'm not too familiar with military ATC communication, so I might be wrong, but it just does not seem right, or "flows naturally" in DCS. Why would two controllers be on the same frequency?Ħ - Quite often I do not get a landing clearance at all. However this is done on the same frequency. "Ready for departure" or something similar seem more appropriate to say.Ĥ - ATC does not hand you over to any other unit after takeoff, nor do they tell you to "go tactical", clears you to leave the frequency etc.ĥ - When you are established on final (and talking to something that might be an approach controller) you are instructed to contact the tower. Once again I do not think (I can't really remember right now) that the word “takeoff” should be used in any communications except in clearances to takeoff from ATC and the pilots response. At least in civilian communication, the word "cleared" shall only be used in clearances to land or take off, not in any other communications between aircraft and ATC, hence the clearance for taxi should be something like "taxi to runway xx" only.ģ - When at the holding you "request takeoff".
Then ATC will tell you "Cleared taxi to runway XX".
#SIMULATED ATC COMMUNICATIONS PROFESSIONAL#
That does not sound very professional as it will be assumed that you will taxi to the runway. All communication loops on the airband should be closed.Ģ - When you request taxi, you "request taxi to runway ".
That is a major error in radio communication. You are cleared to taxi or takeoff, but do not respond to the clearance, etc, etc. For example you request startup, startup clearance is given, but you do not respond with something like "cleared to start". But I do have a fair knowledge about civilian communication with ATC and there are several moments that I find strange in DCS.ġ - Generally there are no closed loops. Now I must admit that I do not have a very good knowledge about military radio communication. I find the ATC communications in DCS A-10C to be a bit strange and "unprofessional".
