Title: Back to the Future?
Post by: Don Desfosse on May 22, 2015, 03:03:53 PM

And for all of you, like me, that REALLY prefer /v/ pilots over /t/ pilots, looks like the FAA is working on bringing /t/ to the RW....  Does that mean, once again, we're leading the FAA?  You be the judge! ;)

I think we could completely move to this:

DEL voice and CPDL

GND Voice and CPDL

TWR Voice

APP/DEP voice

ENROUTE CPDL

It's basically PDC clearances. They tried datalink for domestic flights and it's a ton of work in its current stage.

A lot of ARTCCs now have some version of PDC clearances, so I think we are pretty close to RW at this point.
