UK Controller Plugin / natTRAK integration

[VATSIM UK Operations]

This post is to highlight the integration between the UK Controller Plugin and natTRAK, the clearance tool for Oceanic. (Note: At the time of writing, natTRAK is down for maintenance, but it will be used on 2nd April for CTP Westbound 2022.)

Particularly of use for Scottish controllers, the integration enables users to confirm that pilots have a) been cleared, and b) whether any of the clearance differs from the aircraft's current level/speed.

Configuring the List/Tag Items

Two columns have been added to the Sector Exit List in the 2022/03 release of the UK Controller Pack on Area profiles. They can be toggled on using the 'F' settings in the top left of the list.

• OCI - Oceanic Clearance Indicator
• OFL - Oceanic Flight Level

Or, you can do this yourself:

 

Checking Clearances

The data in the list is colour coded according to whether the issued clearance matches or differs from the requested clearance.

Here is an example of an aircraft who has received a clearance that matches the requested clearance:

Really great to see these sort of things implemented.
