ATC speed instructions, wind and altimeter indications
ATC never gives me speed instructions in simulation; how common are
they in real life? I presume they know enough about aircraft types to know how fast or slow they can go? Also, don't controllers give wind speed and direction when clearing someone for take-off? I never get that in simulation, but I could swear that I've heard it regularly in real ATC. And another thing: Do controllers provide altimeter settings only in specific circumstances, or what? Apparently after a handoff from one center to another they give altimeter settings, but when otherwise? I don't trust ATC in the simulation much. It provides some practice but there's a lot missing, and even with the little bit of ATC I've listened to in real life (years ago--can't easily do it here), I seem to recall discrepancies. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
