MBI 05-04: Local Controllers add Depart Gate to Scratchpad

[Dudley Whitney]

Local controllers (the first position contacted) shall insert the first three letters of the departure gate in lower case letters in the scratchpad (Insert xxx <asel>) for the aircraft. This will assist the departure controller, who shall clear the scratchpad before handing off to CTR.

[Travis Faudree]

Bringing this one back to everyone's attention. LOWERCASE entries in the scratchpad. If they are uppercase, they appear at first glance to be a destination entry, and may not be cleared (overlooked) by the departure controller prior to handoff to Center.

do we simulate the dc adzi if so we need phraseology and codes specific to those airports within the no fly zone

[Mariano Buitrago]

Ed,

So far we haven't simulated the ADIZ fully, although we normally assign discrete beacon codes prior to "cleared into the Class Bravo". Granted, the ADIZ is bigger than the Class B Airspace.

Ok Thanx for the info there are a few pilots that ask about it

Just to add a comment here, there is no way we could keep up with the procedures. The accuracy of any attempt to simulate the ADIZ could only work against us - imagine:


"But Mr. USSS agent, I simulated this trip on VATSIM before I flew it and everything went ok then."
