NATS ATC Simulation

Nerdier members of the board may be interested to see that NATS have published a very nice interactive simulation of the flight of BA1370 LHR-MAN, including all the radio calls made throughout the journey. Fascinating to see how much communication is involved even in such a short flight.

Very neat.

What's missing, of course, is the multitude of other transmission involving numerous other aircraft - and the various controllers landline calls associated with Shuttle 2 Lima, and all their button-pushing. It all sounds FAR too peaceful!!

Very neat.

What's missing, of course, is the multitude of other RT involving numerous other ground stations - and the various cabin calls associated with Shuttle 2 Lima, and all their button-pushing and knob twiddling (and wearing a uniform that's so sharp it's got a degree from Cambridge) - and making it all sound cool!!

Sounds so nice compared to newyork or chicago. I guess cause its missing 98% of the other stuff on the radio.

it's interesting how much effort NATS puts in to material such as this. Not sure whether it's subtle recruiting or just [needless?] PR.

Must be quite old as they go on a WOBUN not an UMLAT but very cool that NATS go to the effort to make this sort of thing.

Both?
As evidenced by the obvious regendering. The notes say it’s all been rerecorded, but many of the ‘explanations’ refer to ‘his’ instructions (referring to controllers) but it’s a woman’s voice...

2017, according to the notes on the page.

Well analysed, Confus ^

I confess I found the lady captain’s transmissions a bit ‘sweet’ and rather scripted

Having a Private Pilots Licence I find this super interesting.

I have a really good understanding of how things work but I always want to know more and this gives that extra detail.

Cannot be that sharp if the degree comes from Cambridge!

Nowadays, with electronic strips and standing agreements, it’s quite possible/indeed likely there’s no landline calls required at all.
