FAA Mobile Clearance

I no longer have to copy from that auctioneer turned controller? Bring it!
 
Good news. Would be nice to have enroute clearances digitally delivered also.
 
My airport is on the map with a "Future" status. So unlikely I'll see it in August, but hopefully soon.
 
They should find a way to make it happen using ADS-B transmissions so that mobile service is unneeded. Could also do enroute clearance delivery that way

Unlikely for a long, long time since most airports do not have ADS-B reception on the ground.

But it's also unlikely with the current status of ADS-B since there is no duplex communications available. So no way in the design of the current ADS-B to request the Clearance, receive it, modify or accept it and the ATC computers confirming the integrity of the data. Now in the future with ADS-B2 I could easily see something like that. At least at airports with approaches, as they come up with whatever technology is going to replace GPS. They could then easily make the future replacement of ADS-B bi-directional and remove the need for WiFi or Cellular data to get our Clearance.

hmm seems something like that was recently requested right here on POA

Something like that, but not exactly. From the AvBrief article:
It is worth being precise about what this is and is not... CPDLC, controller pilot data link communication, is the broader system that includes datalink clearance delivery, along with in-flight messaging. Mobile Clearance Delivery is not that.

I like the new option, but why limit access to already dominating EFB's. Would have been nice if they considered the smaller apps too.
 
I'm in the Houston area, but unfortunately at a non-towered airport that isn't participating in the trial yet. Shame. This is awesome!!

Would have been nicer just to get a text message.
 
I confess to getting irrationally jealous when atc tells another pilot "I just sent it to you by cpdlc" lol
