3TB Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I may be dreaming. As it is right now in xp10, one can file a flight plan and request IFR clearance using a valid radio frequency. The specifics of the flight plan are determined in the ensuing dialogue box in X-Plane. Using this same set-up and the valid frequency for one's airport, what would it take to request a VFR departure (with a destination selected), or a simple traffic pattern for touch-and-go's. Either way, especially for most controlled airports, the steps (and programming ) are the same as currently exists with IFR, just without a radar following, and vectors. For example: 1. Request Clearance. (same)2. Request Taxi. (same)3. Receive Take Off Clearance (same, including a departure heading)4. Hand-off (same)--proceed to destination--5. Request Approach (the possibility could exist within a certain NM range of the declared destination??)6. Request Landing Clearance (same)7. Receive Landing Clearance. (same)8. Receive Taxi instructions (same) Is this possible, or feasible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
