The Control Room Floor / "Descend Via"
« on: November 06, 2013, 06:39:18 PM »
I've interpreted it as you can only issue the "descend via" instructions if the STAR has hard altitudes, (line above and below) otherwise you descend them manually. As for the OP. If the TRACON is staffed below, I don't see how Center can issue a "decend via" as it would bust the TRACON airspace, unless of course there is an SOP to that effect

General Discussion / VATFLY - must read

Chris, no offense, but the above statements are a gross and total misrepresentation of the weather systems encountered within the State of Florida. Even just within ZMA, the former site VATFLY utilized, KFLL, is a routine site for weather system development off of the Florida Everglades resulting with wind gusts of 60+mph to occur on a daily basis with severe thunderstorm warnings routine for over 1/2 the year. This of course doesn't even account for tropical systems, fronts and more. The simple number of CWAs and SIGMETs we encounter the majority of the year is breathtaking. Never mind the northern parts of the state is already preparing for the time of year we feature dramatic temperature shifts (for example, lows in the 20s followed by a high of 88). Actually already started. Makes it interesting for those 1/4 mile visibility encounters on the Gulf Coast.
Obviously the State of Florida Tourism Office is doing a much better job than I realized getting people to visit our state! However, I did want to ensure there were no false impressions about the diversity of experiences pilots encounter visiting the two Florida ARTCCs.
You forgot to mention the fact that it rains everyday at 1600 local

The Control Room Floor / Reality vs. Accomodating VATSIMisms

So the following would be incorrect?
"DAL123 Atlanta Center radar contact, climb and maintain FL380 direct LAX VOR"
Seriously though I typically say when asked for a shortcut, " IND_CTR offline so I am sure he won't care, direct IIU approved"

General Discussion / Vatsim website, others down?

I cannot tell you how bad the last week at VATSIM has sucked! Sifting through endless server logs from the various webpages and the FSD network, looking for the person that destroyed the the forums and a few other things. On the phone with 3 different law enforcement agencies. On the phone and email with the worm that did all this; listening to how he was "setup" to make it look like he did it all.
Then get everything back together and the damn second hard drive on the core server fails! Ughhh....
I can't even imagine. Thanks Richard and everyone at the top for all the hard work, time, and money you devote so that will all can enjoy this hobby.

It was really cool to have been apart of that last night, my traffic in ZTL was kind of light, but it was nice to see VATUSA show up like we did
