Ok, so as a pilot myself, i've gotten into some pretty crazy situation with ATC and the radios, from stuck mics, to over crowded air waves.
Well, after seeing how amazingly well Digital work for the Entire state of Colorado, I've thought that it might be a solution/idea for aircraft one day.
See, giving the ATC Controller, control over the planes radios, getting stuck mics off the main channel, being able to just talk to one pilot instead of broadcasting over the entire air. Being able to disable radios from talking at the same time, and atc immediately knowing which plane is talking.
Plus the clarity of the entire digital system would eliminate the mis-understood communications.
Of course there are downfalls, loss of packets, losing the entire transmission instead of making it out through the static. The amount of money to even switch over to such a system, but hey if cell phones did it, i think planes can do it too.
But's hey its a idea, what do you guys think?
