Air Wagner

CPDLC and we love it, but Washington screwed the pooch and can’t send route updates- so we hate them.

Insert, accept, activate. It’s awesome.

I hate Washington.

CPDLC should be a game changer at all those remote airports. But the entire system is lagging with the procedures to make it effective.
 
That's about a 065 heading from Teb to Massaholessettes. Not much to hit in between except the alpine tower. Sendit!
We used to fly VFR out of TEB a lot when I started at Airnet back in '05. Turn north to the GWB, 1000' to the Alpine Tower then 2500' to the Tappan Zee and turn right to HFD/BDL. That was back when the Dalton and the VOR-A were still things there also.

I wouldn't try that in a biz jet, and my last job had us doing MMU-HPN/LGA and back to start and end trips.

Sucks that it’s center only at this point.. but, 1/2 a beer is better than no beers. So I’ll take what I can get, but push for full implementation as much as I can..
