All commands can be found on the official ES site. Please note that not all commands functions propperly with our setup, and some shouldn't be used at all! [Command line reference](https://www.euroscope.hu/wp/command-line-reference/)

DO NOT use the 'Busy mode', major conflicts can happen if a supervisor needs your attention, or other ATC for coordination!
