Abstract
Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer-readable medium for facilitating remote user airspace communication. For instance, the method may include: connecting with a user device associated with and remote from a first vehicle in a shared air traffic control sector; receiving voice communication data from at least one of the user device, a second vehicle in the shared air traffic control sector, and an air traffic control station in the shared air traffic control sector; generating analog data or digital data based on the received voice communication data; determining a recipient for the generated analog data or generated digital data in the shared air traffic control sector; transmitting the generated analog data or generated digital data to the recipient; and terminating the connection with the user device as the first vehicle leaves the shared air traffic control sector.
