Where is my next ATC contact?

Featured Replies

This would particularly help on flights across areas such as the Atlantic, where there may be hours of radio silence - I was wondering whether there is any way to determine when ATC will hand me over to another frequency, is there any way of measuring distance to the next ATC center?

Might be some good info in this article.  I didn't watch the 26 minute video tutorial!

Just going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱
Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!

Basically, Gander ACC (ZQX) ACC controls the western half of the Atlantic eastward to 30 deg West; Shanwick ACC controls east of 30 deg West. The FIRs (Flight Information Regions) are depicted on North Atlantic plotting charts and probably a number of other places. South of 45 North is generally controlled by New York (ZNY) and Santa Maria (I forget the code). These are just the basics; it gets more complicated than this with ongoing tech improvements with Datalink and Enhanced Surveillance initiatives. 

You can see the airspace boundaries on the FSX map It's the button to the right of the button with a J on it (For Jetways). The boundaries will appear as blue lines on the map. You should get freq changes as you cross them.

Thanks
