FGATC
Development status Project Initiation (2010-)

FGATC is a Web Application created for FlightGear, used to assist ATC controllers to manage traffic around airports they are responsible for.

Scope

  • FGATC is not an ATC scope replacement
  • To be used by airlines, pilots and ATC controllers
  • Web based system for users
  • Support REST style interface for other applications to use
  • Guide novice pilots to create flight plans
  • Assist ATC controllers by providing as much information in one place about the controller airport
  • Support both GA and Scheduled Air Transport flight plans

Background

Currently ATC controllers must have several screen and different applications open to properly manage the airspace around airports they are controlling. There is no place to register a flight plan to assist ATC controllers understand aircraft movements within their controlled airspace.
