listening to ATC on United Airlines
I'm not a pilot, just your typical passenger. I don't fly United often,
so I just discovered that they put the ATC on the inflight audio. I was totally fascinated and want to learn some more. Is there a website that has some basic ATC protocols? Not some huge reference manual, just the common phrases that you hear over a commercial flight's radio. A few questions I had while listening: - What happens if 2 people try to talk at the same time? Do you hear both voices or neither? How do they avoid talking over each other? - It seems that there is no authentication/security, the parties just identify themselves. Have there been cases of troublemakers making false impersonations? - They ask pilots their speed, altitude, and heading a lot. Can't the transponder send that information? - Do any other airlines put ATC on the inflight audio? |
