Asq?

[IHateDaley]

Anyone know why ASA's 3 letter identifier went from ACY to ASQ?

 

[IFlyFL410]

at first, we were called "Atlantic City" by a couple of controllers!

 

[rausda27]

It was changed for ICAO reasons, conflicting identifiers.

 

[IFlyFL410]

well there ya go.

 

[WWEfan]

Ofcourse we didnt find out about the change until we were queried by ATC.

Center: Acey 123, whats with the new identifier?
Me: Uhhh....what new identifier?

 

[79%N1]

Yeah, same here. All day, controllers didnt know who the heck we were. And here was us, not having any idea what they were talking about. Ooops, must have missed the memo.

Actually the best way to solve that would be for the company to give you a copy of the flight plan they filed for your flight. Then you'd have all kinds of useful information, like what altitude they had you filed, the route, time en-route, things like that.

How do you figure those things out?

Funny, I flew yesterday, and I believe our release still had the note about us changing to ACY still.

I guess I'll have to listen for Alpha Sierra Quebec XXX, when ATC has no dea who we are.

So why aren't the Alert Bullitins on Flica anymore so we can actually read them?

That's the million dollar question, isn't it? As usual, I learn about this stuff here first.

Every release I've seen at ASA has had the actual filed flight plan on it, complete with the three-letter identifyer we were filed under. However, it's easy to miss if you're not explicitly looking for the new one.

It's because gung-ho captains not reading them because it doesn't specifically say that they have to... so they won't. Now they are on myASA under Flight Ops when you're going to log in on CrewTrac... look to the left... kind of hard to miss them!
