Hello Hello folks!
Tonight we continue our ATC course with Lesson 3. This is for both PC and Xbox Pilots
Lesson 3: Practice makes Permanent
Overview:
Tonight we put what we have learned from Lesson 2 into action.
We will work on Stages 1 - 4 at Shannon Airport. The idea here is to take a slow approach to the practical side of communicating with ATC, taking notes, planning our route and keeping control of our aircraft.
Stage 1 – Obtain the ATIS
We complete our pre-flight checks and turn on the battery and radios. Using the inbuilt ATC in MSFS – we will tune into Shannon Airports ATIS on 130.955. Take note of the Information letter, weather, active runway and the QNH along with other instructions.
Stage 2 – Contact ATC
We tune to Shannon Ground on 121.800 and request clearance for circuits and engine start
Stage 3 – Startup and Request Taxi
We start up our engine and check our temperatures and pressures. When ready to taxi we call up ATC
Stage 4 – Taxi
With our instruction noted, we check our charts and start our taxi to the runway. We complete a run-up check and once we arrive at the Hold Short line - we complete the lesson by contacting ATC.
Objective:
To communicate our intentions to ATC, receive and readback instructions, carry out the requested tasks and maintain control of our aircraft. This will all be deployed using our Discord Voice Channels.
