	VATSIM-UK ASRC/VRC/SquawkBox/FSInn (80.249.98.88) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Shanwick Oceanic manages the airspace over the Eastern Atlantic between 30°W and landfall with the UK and Ireland, and from 45N to 61N.
		Oceanic will try to accomodate this request, and if this is also not available they will suggest an alternative which is available, it is the pilot's responsibility to check that this is acceptable.
		In RW Oceanic control, due to the large diurnal traffic flow (they all fly west during the day and east at night) all levels will be available during the heaviest traffic flow.

		Methods of obtaining oceanic clearances include: use of VHF clearance delivery frequencies when in coverage; use of HF to the OAC through the appropriate aeradio station (if possible at least 40 min before boundary/entry estimate); request via domestic or other ATC agencies; by datalink which is being introduced at some centres.
		Due to the potential length of time in oceanic airspace, it is strongly recommended that a pilot experiencing communications failure whilst still in domestic airspace does nor enter the Oceanic Control Area but adopts the procedure specified in the appropriate domestic AIP and lands at a suitable airport.
		If such a situation does arise in oceanic airspace it may be possible to contact nearby aircraft on VHF and obtain the read-out of spot wind (or if aircraft are going in the same direction, drift and ground speed) and make use of this information to identify the defective system.

	MyGDC - Datalink Oceanic Clearances - Westbound
		Delivery of oceanic clearances via datalink for the Shanwick Oceanic Control Area (OCA) is available to registered aircraft.
		Shanwick normally responds to the clearance request with a message indicating that the clearance should be received within the next 15 minutes.
		Shanwick then sends the clearance to the aircraft, which contains the aircraft registration, entry point, ETA at the entry point, Mach number, flight level, route, and destination.

	LOCKERBIE ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION
		By synchronising the Shanwick tape and the CVR it was possible to establish that a loud sound was heard on the CVR cockpit area microphone (CAM) channel at 19.02:50 hrs ±1 second.
		As the Shanwick controller continued to transmit Flight PA103's clearance instructions through the initial destruction of the aircraft it would not have been possible for a distress call to be received from N739PA on the Shanwick frequency.
		Since pitch control cables are routed through the upper deck floor beams and the roll control cables through the main deck beams, there is a strong possibility that movement of the beams under explosive forces would have applied inputs to the control cables, thus operating control surfaces in both axes.

		Oceanic airspace outside the published OTS is available for random operations, subject to separation criteria and NOTAM restrictions.
		It is recommended that crews receive training from either a commercially-conducted oceanic procedures course or a course conducted by their flight training department, and not depend solely on the self-study of oceanic procedures.
		Control display units (CDU) should be within the primary visual scan of, and conveniently accessible to, either pilot.

	Shanwick Oceanic Control - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shanwick is the Air Traffic Control (ATC) name given to the area of International Airspace which lies above the northeast part of the North Atlantic.
		ICAO divides such airspace into Flight Information Regions, parts of which may be deemed Controlled Airspace and, where appropriate, classified as an Oceanic Control Area (OCA).
		The flight control (Procedural ATC) aspect is the responsibility of the United Kingdom and is provided by NATS from the Prestwick OACC, while the voice communication aspect is the responsibility of the Republic of Ireland and is provided by the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) from the Ballygirreen Radio Station based Shannon Aeradio.

	Aviation Past-Pan American Flight 103
		At the time, the squawk code (0357) that would last be seen by air traffic control, showed the aircraft at 31,000 feet, heading 316, and a speed of 313 knots.
		Investigators also found that the explosion also rocked the flight controls, causing the nose section to pitch, roll, and yaw, the only thing protecting the instruments from the forward cargo hold, where the bomb was located, was a simple bulkhead.
		The rapid movement of the flight control area, and the fierce vibration caused by this, snapped the reinforcing belt that held the windows on the left side to come apart.

		Generally it is better to contact ATC by voice or text, on their active frequency, unless your question or comment is not regarding ATC services and/or is of a private nature, but please be prepared to wait until the person has suitable time to answer your message.
		Oceanic ATC service is very different from land based ATC services due to the inability to monitor aircraft with radar.
		This controls which radio is used for transmitting, and whether you are actively monitoring the radio you are not transmitting on.

		In cases where this is not possible, the Pilot must immediately obtain a domestic re-clearance, and remain outside the oceanic control area.
		The Oceanic Control centres can request a flight to report any intermediate points, if it is considered necessary, e.g.
		In cases where a controller needs to speak to a Pilot, the ATC will transmit the aircraft's SELCAL, which will activate an alarm in the cockpit (audible and/or visual), indicating to the Pilot that his/her presence is required at the radio.

	An orthodox account of the PANAM 103 tragedy at Locherbie
		At 19:00, PA 103 was picked up by Shanwick Oceanic Control at Prestwick, Scotland, where it needed clearance to begin its flight across the Atlantic Ocean.
		The pressure control and fuel switches were both set for cruise, and the crew had not used their oxygen masks, which would have descended within five seconds of a rapid depressurization of the airplane (Cox and Foster 1992).
		On December 22, 1988, the day after PA 103 was sabotaged, apartheid South Africa was scheduled to sign an agreement handing over control of South-West Africa (Namibia) to the United Nations, a territory that it had been illegally occupying for decades, in defiance of the UN Security Council.

		Because of the realism in PS1 it is easy to fly the Atlantic tracks and because of this we feel we should create some procedures for PS1 pilots.
		Malfunctions must not be set to very high as this will increase the controllers work load (max 1 or 2 per 100 hrs, basic level malfunctions)
		Please note that using your FMC to send the controller the private chat is a very realistic way to obtain your oceanic clearances, this is the real world procedure to send ACARS messages.

		6.58pm The copilot made contact with Shanwick Oceanic Area Control in Ireland, the station that assigns flight corridors to planes flying across the North Atlantic to America in order to minimise the chances of a collision.
		7.02pm and 50 seconds While the air-traffic controller was giving his instructions by radio, the image of the transponder suddenly disappeared from his screen.
		When radar caught up with the position of the plane a few seconds later - at 55 degrees and seven minutes north, 3 degrees and 21 minutes west - the surprised, and then dumbfounded, controller in Shanwick saw many images on his screen: a Boeing jet that was breaking apart.

		This is the case tonight; and, in fact, we are cleared direct to Yahoo, for which we must turn almost 180 degrees to the left, passing close by JFK airport as we do so.
		For the oceanic portion of the flight we will be communicating with Gander and Shanwick via HF radio, in a rigid format known as an Airep.

		The distribution of fin debris between the trails suggests that disintegration of the fin began shortly before the vertical descent was established.
		Little more then remained between stations 560 and 760 (approximately) than the window belts and the cabin sidewall structure immediately above and below the windows, although much of the cargo-hold floor structure appears to have remained briefly attached to the aircraft.
		The main portion of the aircraft simultaneously entered a manoeuvre involving a marked nose down and left roll attitude change, probably as a result of inputs applied to the flying control cables by movement of structure.
