[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_airspace Controlled airspace] means aircraft must identify themselves with the designated [[ATC]]. The aircraft will be directed to paths and altitudes to aid separation, prevent collisions and aid in take-off and landing. The pilot must request permission (clearance) from [[ATC]] for each change in course, [[speed]] and [[altitude]]. Most airfields have controlled airspace around them. | [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_airspace Controlled airspace] means aircraft must identify themselves with the designated [[ATC]].

Communication rules within controlled airspaces in FlightGear: | |||
* Use [[FGCOM]] | |||
** FGCOM lets you control your aircraft without reading chat or paying attention reading a chat box. | |||
** FGCOM helps the ATC to control much more aircraft at the same time, because heard and spoken commands are much faster than chat. | |||
* read the [[Communications|Communications-article]] to learn more | |||
* A detailed description of how ATC-procedures should be executed and which different types of controlled airspaces can be managed in FlightGear is shown in the [[ATC Tutorial|ATC-Turorial]]. | |||
===Entering controlled airspaces=== | |||
In Flightgear every pilot has to contact the ATC (if there is any) via [[FGCOM]] or Chat and should obey the following syntax, when he is entering a controlled airspace: | |||
PILOT: '''Callsign''' with you at FL180 for Heathrow. Information Alpha. | |||
Controller: '''Callsign''', Radar Contact 51 miles out, alpha is current. d/m 8,000 and direct OCK please. | |||
The pilot is reporting his altitude, his attentions, and the letter of the actual [[ATIS]] he got on the ATIS-frequency before. In this example, he is at flightlevel 180 (18,000 ft at [[QNH]] and reports that is going to land at London Heathrow Airport. The controller confirms that he has the incoming air-plane on its radar, 51 miles out. He also confirms that ATIS information Alpha is the latest information. Additional he advices the pilot to descend and maintain 8,000 ft. | |||
