Flight Plans and Traffic Control
What it covers
- Flight plans
- ATC and landing clearance
- Assigned flight paths
- Holding patterns
- Launch and docking requests
Overview
Flight plans and ATC create order around stations and lawful systems. Ships can declare routes, receive approach paths, wait in holding patterns, and request launch or docking clearance.
Why it matters
Navigation becomes social and legal. Following procedure builds trust; ignoring it can attract scans, delays or suspicion.
