Neat Workaround Found For VFR Flights To Non-Towered Fields

Recommended Posts

The reason I put Advanced mode in quotes, was that you just have to go off script. Switch to the local FSS, or Utopia Radio 122.2 if the local frequency doesn’t work. It’s “Advanced” because you won’t have prompts, but if you can remember what to say, you can close your flight plan.

Oh, lol, I thought you meant to actually enter expert mode...DUH.  Maybe we should call it Mad_Mac Mode 😁

I also noticed that the '0. Report clear of runway' prompt won't go away.

I'm gonna try that tip next time, if I can actually remember to close my flight plan that is 🤔

I use ADE all the time, but by just adding a tower frequency all you are doing is converting a non-towered airport into a towered airport (as far as VoxATC is concerned).  Kind of ruins any sense of realism of flying into an uncontrolled field.

Thanks Kevin, maybe it'll get fixed in the next release.  I did report this to Tegwyn 2 years ago...

I thought about this !

But in a non towered airfiled, nobody will answer to you except other pilots in the real life, if presents, but not in voxatc.  So, you can say the items of the pattern, without any help from voxatc. Why would you that voxatc prompt those message for you ?

Yeah I thought about this too and just assumed that people were expecting a prompt not from ATC but out of convenience. But VOXATC 7 does reproduce real world behavior at a nontowered airport.

sure and it would be amazing if there was a prompt and the message did something on trafic...

by the way, when I'm on a non towered airfield, voxatc prompt  completing setup all the time. I can wait a long time, it does'nt change... What  can I  do ?

What are you asking Unicom? If you request landing, for example, Unicom is not a tower, and literally is unable to provide clearance. In the real world, this is an unusual request, but in VoxATC you can request Airport information. The only reason for contacting them at all is to “wake up” the airport, which will then populate with AI traffic, and you can try to fit yourself into the pattern, by listening to their radio calls and figuring out where they are, just like you would in the real world. By the way, If you use this approach, you will not receive any prompts other than to tune back to the last frequency you were talking to, but you can self announce your position and your landing intentions. If you really do need airport information, you can tune to the nearest AWOS, ASOS, or ATIS. Just curious, when Unicom responds, “Unable at this time” does AI traffic appear?

 

If if you are requesting RNAV approach, you should be talking to Approach, not Unicom, and you need to be flying under an IFR flight plan.

make sense...

traffic appears before I ask unicom.
