MivwTaupos Posted December 23, 2024 Posted December 23, 2024 Start from the begining to start up engine, taxi and then take off. As I know like air force pilot they talk to "Ground" to taxi to runway first, then switch to "Tower" when holding short runway then switch to "Departure" after airborn. Do navy carrier is the same, are they separate into 3 frequence? thank you
Phantom711 Posted December 23, 2024 Posted December 23, 2024 Firstly, the types of ATC that you will encounter in real life largely depends on the location and size of the airfield and whether you want to fly IFR or VFR. Small airfields might only have tower who clears you to taxi, gives you the IFR clearance and then also clears you for take-off. Likewise, there might or might not be a dedicated frequency for departure. The flow that you mentioned is not wrong though. However carrier ops is mostly „zip-lip“, so without any/much comms. At least for CASE 1 that is. vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs. Join the vCVW-17 Discord.

Foka Posted December 25, 2024 Posted December 25, 2024 Most of "communication" with ATC is deck crew giving the pilot a hand signals what to do.
