Imagine you're halfway through a four-hour online flight from LGAV to EGLL with no ATC coverage. You step away briefly for a snack, only to return and discover an ATC controller came online while you were gone. They sent a private message, but without a timely response, they inform you, "I contacted you 25 minutes ago—you're now leaving my airspace."
Prevent this from happening again! With this straightforward app, just enter your callsign, and you'll receive alerts when you enter or approach an ATC-controlled area. Customize the notification radius based on your preference—default is 20 nautical miles. The app integrates directly with VATSIM data servers.
