What do you suggest?

Show of expected traffic amount in a FIR. This includes all the aiports in the FIR and the overflying traffic to the FIR from filed FPLs. And then the system could show that at a time how much traffic is expected. This can be visualized in e.g 30 min increments that at that time what the expected traffic amount is.
Also if possible a discord bot could be connected to this, alerting ATCs that a set amount of overflights are expected in X amount of time, so it's a good time to log on to do some controlling. This would encourage ATCs to log on.

Why do you need that?

This would be a good and quick tool for CTR controllers to see if it is a good time to log on and control or not. APP, TWR and GND ATCs have this number from the airport view, but CTR controllers need to log on to the network with the ATC client to be able to see this data.

Alternatives

Euroscope with the plugin what we use in vACCHUN has this feature. It's prognosis is quite reliable. But it is inconvenient to log in every time I want to see when I can expect a good amount of overflights in our FIR.

Additional info

I can provide pictures on how this looks like in Euroscope if the feature is considered.

Validation

  • I have searched for other requests and didn't found any alike
  • I have also checked roadmap, and this is not planned
