Flying on VATSIM or similar online ATC platforms offers opportunities for fun and learning, but challenges arise when controllers sign off, leaving pilots in uncontrolled airspace. Say Intentions is a new system that facilitates communication with online controllers, operating at 122.8 for pilots to relay their intentions until they are picked up by a controller. The process involves disconnecting from VATSIM before using Say Intentions, which provides support primarily during the airborne phase after crossing 3,000 feet. The video illustrates this transition with a flight demonstration from Jersey to Southampton, showing how Say Intentions works effectively in practice.
Say Intentions allows pilots to communicate intentions on 122.8 frequency efficiently.
A practical flight example demonstrates the transition from VATSIM to Say Intentions.
The integration of Say Intentions with VATSIM indicates a significant evolution in aviation communication technologies. By facilitating a seamless transition from controlled to uncontrolled airspace, it enhances the pilot experience and safety. This system showcases how AI can optimize operational efficiency and provide real-time support to pilots. As the industry embraces such innovations, it's vital to ensure robust training and awareness for pilots regarding these transitions to maximize the system's beneficial impact.
Say Intentions takes over communication responsibilities once VATSIM controllers sign off, allowing pilots to inform others nearby.
After controller sign-off, pilots operate in uncontrolled airspace until transitioned to a Say Intentions controller.
VATSIM provides real-time air traffic control for virtual pilots but requires disconnection when switching to Say Intentions for communication.
