<div>= About this Document =<br />
This document ist part of the VACC Austria [[Study Guide]], intended to assist VACC controllers in learning their "hob" (actually: their hobby). This page is an addition to the [[Study Guide:OBS]] and covers the rules and procedures on '''how to speak on the radio'''. We assume that you have read and understood the [[Study Guide:OBS]] before. The information is based on the [[http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/CAP413.PDF CAP413 Radio Telephony Manual]] of the British CAA, which is a very thorough (260pages!) document. This page is more like a tutorial: step-by-step, and only covers the basics.<br />
<br />
= Why is this? =<br />
Talking on the air is (sometimes) stressy. Voice quality may be bad or broken, but yet: it is the '''only link''' between ATC and aircraft, and therefore: '''highly security sensitive'''. You want to make sure that...<br />
<br />
* Communication is short<br />
* Communication is unambiguous ''("what did he mean?")''<br />
* Communication is fail-proof in three respects: right person, right message, right meaning.<br />
<br />
To achieve this, there are some rules which you should follow.<br />
<br />
Talking on the air is (sometimes) stressy. Voice quality may be bad or broken, but yet: it is the '''only link''' between ATC and aircraft, and therefore: '''highly security sensitive'''. <br />
<br />
* Communication is short<br />
* Communication is unambiguous ''("what did he mean?")''<br />
* Communication is fail-proof (lost and misunderstood messages are detected and corrected).<br />
<br />
To achieve this, people have invented something, called '''phraseology'''. Almost 99% of all radio communication is standard messages. If all the standard messages are predefined, then both sides instantly know, what they are talking about, and the non-standard communication (in "normal words") is down to an absolute minimum. Therefore, we learn this phraseology.<br />
<br />
''(Example: ATC orders "Austrian 251, turn left 40 degrees". Then it is vital that...<br />
<br />
* the person is right: Austrian 251 turns, not Austrian 215.<br />
* the message is right: It's 40 degrees, not 14.<br />
* the meaning is right: It's the compass degree (abouth northwest), not the relative angle.<br />
<br />
= Basic Rules =<br />
<br />
In order to achieve the goals set above the following rules important: <br />
<br />
== Listen before you talk ==<br />
<br />
If two people talk on the radio at the same time, they don't hear each other, and all others only hear a nasty squeak. Therefore it's important that every station monitors the frequency for about 5 seconds before transmitting, to make sure there’s no ongoing radio traffic. If you hear an ongoing conversation, wait until the conversation is over before you begin to transmit. Don’t start your communication if there is a read-back expected on the last transmission even if there is a short pause. <br />
<br />
== Think before you talk ==<br />
<br />
The radio traffic flow should be as smooth as possible. To achieve this it's vital to "think first" before transmitting so that a clear, concise and uninterrupted message can be sent.<br />
<br />
== Letters and numbers are spelled ==<br />
<br />
* On the Radio, it is impossible to distinguish a "B" from a "D". Therefore, letter combinations (like callsigns, see below) are spelled. In the air, we use the NATO alphabet: [[Buchstabiertabelle]]. <br />
<br />
* Same is with numbers. It is difficult to distinguish "60" from "16", so numbers are read out as single digits: "six-zero" and "one-six".<br />
<br />
*: "9" is "niner" to distinguish it from "five". <br />
<br />
*: Decimal reads "decimal".<br />
<br />
*: For "00" you should say "hundred" (but not for compass headings: you spell out "zero-zero")<br />
<br />
*: For "000" you say "thousand".<br />
<br />
*: There are very few exceptions for abbreviations which are used frequently, like VFR, IFR, VOR, NDB, ILS, RVR or VMC. An example:<br />
<br />
ATC to A-HBU: Alpha Hotel Bravo Uniform, Radar identified at five thousand feet. Climb and maintain flight level one two zero. <br />
ATC to A-HBU: Alpha Hotel Bravo Uniform, direct Lima November Zulu NDB, contact Wien Radar one three four decimal three five, bye!<br />
<br />
== Stations have callsigns ==<br />
<br />
You want to make sure everyone is well identified. Therefore, every participant on the network has his own Callsign. Controller Positions are identified by their location and their Function (e.g. Wien Radar, Graz Tower), Aircraft either ...<br />
<br />
* by their Registration (e.g. OE-ALB) <br />
* or an Airline Callsign followed by a combination of numbers and letters (e.g. AUA25LM, SWR387). The airline is called by its real name (i.e. "Austrian" for AUA).<br />
* Some letters at the end of an airline callsign mean something: "H" stands for "heavy" - an airplane from the "H" class, like the B747 or the MD81. "S" means for "super": currently only the A380. You read this class out: AUA251H is "Austrian two five one heavy". You can crosscheck these codes in the Euroscope tag, where a "/H" or "/S" is added.<br />
<br />
Callsigns are vital, because you have to say them every time you transmit something to make sure, it is '''from''' and '''for''' the right guy.<br />
<br />
== Readback ==<br />
<br />
When a controller (or aircraft) transmits a message to a station it is crucial that the receiving station acknowledge the message. But saying "roger" is only in movies - what are you "roger"ing? The called station understood something, but what? The solution is simple: The called station ''reads back the information in relevant parts''. If the receiving station does not read back, the transmitting station must transmit again.<br />
<br />
*Items that '''must always be read back''' in full are all clearances (including altitudes, headings, speeds, radials etc), runway in use, altimeter setting (QNH or QFE) and transition level, and all frequencies. <br />
<br />
*There are also items that '''should not be read''' back to reduce unnesessary radio transmissions. In short, this includes everything not mentioned above, but a few examples are: wind, temperature and other weather information (except altimeter settings) and traffic information in detail.<br />
<br />
'''LOWW_APP:''' AUA251, turn left heading 290, descend Altitude 5000 feet, QNH 1019.<br />
'''AUA251:''' Turn left heading 290, descending altitude 5000 feet QNH 1019, AUA251 <br />
<br />
'''LOWW_TWR:''' AUA251, traffic information: Cessna on rwy 16 downwind, report in sight.<br />
'''AUA251:''' Traffic in sight, AUA251.<br />
<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
'''LOWW_GND:''' OE-DLT, taxi to Holding Point Runway 29 via Exit 12, M and A1, QNH 1019, give way<br />
to Speedbird Airbus A320 crossing you right to left on M.<br />
'''OE-DLT:''' Taxiing to H/P Rwy 29 via Exit 12, M and A1, giving way on M, QNH 1019, OE-DLT.<br />
<br />
== A note on being polite ==<br />
In real life, ATC conversation is as dry as it could be - manuals say "avoid excessive courtesy". However, VATSIM is a hobby - it really depends on the circumstances. These are some guidelines:<br />
<br />
* It is always nice to be polite. You might say "hello" on contact and "bye" on handover. You might say "thanks for cooperation" or "sorry for the delay" if a pilot has to wait or hold or something. Some experienced controllers have found their way to be funny and make jokes in a very short manner, even if it is not VATSIM standard and should not be - VATSIM is as-real-as-it-gets compared to IVAO ''(xxx_APP: Lepizig Air 2134, direct UNKUL, sorry, the name was not my idea")''<br />
<br />
* Adapt to the traffic. If you have 20 aircraft to track and the radio is full of messages, be short.<br />
<br />
* Don't just swallow it, if a pilot swears on you - under no circumstances he/she should. Instead of swearing back, remind him to stop and be polite, and ...<br />
<br />
* Don't be angry on the radio - it's not the right medium to swear, whatever a pilot (or a controller) screws up. If you really have a problem, then post a .wallop note to call for a supervisor. If you want to tell something to a pilot to explain a situation, then do so after the storm is cleared, in a private note. Even there, stay polite - you don't know why the pilot did it - maybe he can't, maybe his kid hammered on his keyboard, the joystick is faulty, the cat grabbed the chart, whatever.<br />
<br />
== Contact - messages - handover ==<br />
<br />
All conversation follows the following pattern:<br />
# Contact<br />
# ... messages (there may be pauses, and other messages to other stations)<br />
# handoff/handover.<br />
<br />
=== Contact ===<br />
Radio communication is like talking to each other in a dark room: You have to say hello, who you are, and that you are here now. As ATC is always there, but pilots fly in and out, it is pilots who say hello. To initiate the contact between two stations an initial call has to be made. Example - Austrian 251 is calling Wien Tower:<br />
<br />
'''AUA251:''' Wien Delivery, Austrian 251, Radiocheck .<br />
'''LOWW_DEL:''' Austrian 251, Wien Delivery, read you 5 by 5.<br />
<br />
So the syntax for contact is:<br />
Syntax = Pilot: <ATC station>, <myself>, <message><br />
Syntax = ATC station: <pilot>, <myself>, <message><br />
<br />
Contact has standard phraseology depending on the circumstances - see the sections of the controller positions.<br />
<br />
=== Messages===<br />
Once contact is established, you stay in contact, even if you don't talk to each other. This means: You know that the other station listens and will pick up conversation any time. Contact is not one-to-one: ATC has contact with all aircraft in his area, whether he talks to them or not.<br />
<br />
In ongoing conversation, three rules apply:<br />
<br />
* Pilots who address ATC, say their callsign first, then the message (ATC knows: if a callsign comes up, he is meant and he knows, by whom.)<br />
<br />
AUA251: Austrian251 requesting descent.<br />
Syntax = Pilot: <myself>, <message><br />
<br />
* ATC always addresses the called station first, and then the message (ATC only talks to pilots, so whenever an aircraft's callsign comes up, there is only one guy who could be meant).<br />
<br />
ATC: Austrian 251, descend FL 120.<br />
Syntax = Controller: <pilot>, <message><br />
<br />
* Pilots who read back an ATC instruction, put their callsign at the end. This makes sure that the right person has understood the instruction. ATC knows: if the callsign is at the end, it was a readback - he/she just checks if it is correct and the reader is correct (imagine the wrong plane descends!). ATC interferes, if it is faulty, and a new readback should follow.<br />
<br />
AUA251: Descending FL 130, Austrian 251.<br />
ATC: Negative, Austrian 251, descend flight level 120.<br />
AUA251: Descending FL 120, Austrian 251.<br />
Syntax = Pilot: <message>, <myself><br />
<br />
=== Handover / Handoff ===<br />
<br />
As said before, radio conversation is like a dark room. Like pilots enter the room and say hello, it is ATC's responsibility to let him/her go. When an aircraft leaves an ATC station's responsibility, it is handed over - noone just fades away. This is vital to ensure that no plane gets lost. It's like saying goodbye and telling the pilot, where to go next. This is called "handover".<br />
<br />
LOWW_TWR: Austrian 251, contact Wien Radar 128.2, bye<br />
AUA251: Contacting Wien Radar 128.2, bye.<br />
<br />
Both partners to the conversation do something after handover: ATC klicks a flag to transfer the plane in Euroscope - the next controller sees the plane popping up in his/her responsibility. The pilot switches frequency and makes the next contact to the next controller (don't worry about the details they talk about - it comes later in the tutorial. Look, if you find the syntax):<br />
<br />
AUA251: Wien Radar, AUA251, SITNI4C, 4000ft climbing 5000ft<br />
LOWW_APP: AUA251, Wien Radar, identified, climb flight level 125.<br />
AUA251: Climbing flight level 125, AUA251.<br />
<br />
Sometimes at VATSIM, there is no controller online. Then the pilot is not handed over, but '''handed off''' - released in his/her own responsibility:<br />
<br />
LOWW_TWR: Austrian 251, radar service terminated, monitor UNICOM 122.8, bye!<br />
AUA251: Unicom 122.8, [thanks for the service], bye!<br />
<br />
It is pilots' responsibility to look out for ATC while they fly. Sometimes, they forget, and controllers send them a "contactme" message via Euroscope on private message (there is a command for this). In real life, this won't happen - pilots who forget to register, are fined!<br />
<br />
== Reserved words ==<br />
Some words are reserved and should only be used, if they are meant (and NOT, if they are not):<br />
<br />
* '''mayday''' and '''Pan-pan''': Only use it, when you declare it.<br />
* '''takeoff''' and '''landing''': Only use it, when you clear (or read back) for takeoff or to land. If you inform a pilot to wait "two minutes to t... no: you tell him/her "two minutes to departure". If you inform a pilot about "late l...", no: You inform him about "late clearance".<br />
* '''Affirm(ative)''' means "yes". '''Negative''' means "no". '''Unable''' means that the pilot can't do what the ATC just instructed.<br />
<br />
== What?? Who?? Aaahm?? ==<br />
<br />
* '''Say again''' is the only message you can pass all the time - if you did not understand, or if you did not understand if it was for you or not (and you MUST say it if you missed something!) For ATC there are three variants: Did you miss, WHO? Did you miss WHAT? Did you miss BOTH?<br />
<br />
ATC: Last station, callsign? (WHO?)<br />
ATC: Austrian 251, say again? (WHAT?)<br />
ATC: Last station, say again? (WHO AND WHAT?)<br />
<br />
<br />
= Phraseology at different stations =<br />
<br />
(work in progress - stay tuned!)<br />
<br />
Phraseology is vast. To learn them step by step, the most frequently used phraseology is collected here, grouped to stations:<br />
<br />
[[Study Guide:Radio Telephony:DEL]] is for delivery stations<br />
<br />
[[Study Guide:Radio Telephony:GND]] is for Ground stations<br />
<br />
[[Study Guide:Radio Telephony:TWR]] is for Tower stations<br />

<div>== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
This Study Guide has been designed to give you all the information needed to start controlling as a Clearance/Delivery controller on the VATSIM network. <br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
== Radio Communication - Basics ==<br />
<br />
Because communication is crucially important for Air Traffic Control a fixed format and syntax is used, in order to minimize the risk of misunderstandings and to keep messages short. Worldwide English is the primary language in use, however in most countries you are also allowed to use the local language. In Austria VFR flights can choose their language whereas IFR flights are mostly conducted in English. Link: [[Buchstabiertabelle]] <br />
<br />
=== Basic Rules ===<br />
<br />
In order to achieve the goals set above the following rules important: <br />
<br />
#''Listen before you talk'' <br />
#:It's impossible for two radio stations to transmit on the same frequency at the same time. If this is done, the radio signal will be blocked and this will result in a nasty noise on the frequency. Therefore it's important that every station monitors the frequency for about 5 seconds before transmitting, to make sure there’s no ongoing radio traffic. If you hear an ongoing conversation, wait until the conversation is over before you begin to transmit. Don’t start your communication if there is a read-back expected on the last transmission even if there is a short pause. <br />
#''Think before you talk'' <br />
#:The radio traffic flow should be as smooth as possible. To achieve this it's vital to "think first" before transmitting so that a clear, concise and uninterrupted message can be sent. <br />
#''As far as possible use standard phraseology and syntax'' <br />
#:To prevent misunderstandings and to maintain the radio traffic as effective as possible, stick to standardized phraseology and skip slang and of course private messages.<br />
<br />
=== Callsigns and Initial Contact ===<br />
<br />
Every participant on the network has his own Callsign. Controller Positions are identified by their location and their Function (e.g. Wien Radar, Graz Tower), Aircraft either by their Registration (e.g. OE-ALB) or an Airline Callsign followed by a combination of numbers and letters (e.g. AUA25LM, SWR387). To pronounce these letters and digits the ICAO-Alphabet is used. To initiate the contact between two stations an initial call has to be made. This call has the following structure: <br />
<br />
'''Station 1:''' Station 2, Station 1, Message <br />
'''Station 2:''' Station 1, Station 2, Message<br />
<br />
''Example - Austrian 251 is calling Wien Tower:'' <br />
<br />
'''AUA251:''' Wien Delivery, Austrian 251, Radiocheck <br />
'''LOWW_DEL:''' Austrian 251, Wien Delivery, read you 5 by 5<br />
<br />
In Subsequent calls the calling station part can be ommited. <br> When a controller (or aircraft) transmits a message to a station it is very important that the receiving station acknowledge the message and reads back any required parts.. If the receiving station does not acknowledge, the transmitted message is considered as a lost transmission and the sender should resend the message or check if the receiving station got the message. Items that must always be read back in full are all clearances (including altitudes, headings, speeds, radials etc), runway in use, altimeter setting (QNH or QFE) and transition level, and all frequencies. For a controller, this is extremely important to remember, since if a pilot's readback is incorrect, the controller has to ask for confirmation, i.e a new readback. There are also items that should not be read back to reduce unnesessary radio transmissions. In short, this includes everything not mentioned above, but a few examples are: wind, temperature and other weather information (except altimeter settings) and traffic information in detail. When giving an instruction the Callsign is stated at the beginning, when reading back you usually add it at the end of your transmission (although you are allowed to do it at the beginning too). <br><br> ''Examples''''':''' <br />
<br />
'''LOWW_APP:''' AUA251, turn left heading 290, descend Altitude 5000 feet, QNH 1019.<br />
'''AUA251:''' Turn left heading 290, descending altitude 5000 feet QNH 1019, AUA251 <br />
<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
'''LOWW_GND:''' OE-DLT, taxi to Holding Point Runway 29 via Exit 12, M and A1, QNH 1019, give way<br />
to Speedbird Airbus A320 crossing you right to left on M.<br />
'''OE-DLT:''' Taxiing to H/P Rwy 29 via Exit 12, M and A1, giving way to Speedbird<br />
Airbus A320 on M, OE-DLT.<br />
<br />

== METAR and TAF ==<br />
<br />
References for detailed information: [[METAR]], [[TAF]]&nbsp; <br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
== How is an Aerodrome organized ==<br />
<br />
As airports grew bigger over time also the workload for the Air Traffic Controller handling the traffic got bigger. Soon it was necessary to distribute this workload onto more than one controller in order to be able to cope with the traffic. <br />
<br />
So the Tower Position got divided into thre basic types with different areas of responsibility. <br />
<br />
#Clearance delivery (DEL), responsible for checking flightplans and issuing IFR clearances to departing aircraft. <br />
#Ground (GND), responsible for all traffic on the apron and the taxiways. <br />
#Tower (TWR), responsible for movements on the runway and within its associated Control Zone.<br />
<br />
Because Tower and Ground controllers rely very strongly on what they see out of their window, these are the positions which are situated within the airports control tower. <br />
<br />
Apart from that there are the controllers who manage the traffic once it has left the control zone. They are again divided into: <br />
<br />
#APP Positions, managing the traffic within the airports vicinity (the so called TMA, Terminal Area). In Austria they are situated directly at the airports. <br />
#ACC (Area Control Center, on VATSIM the abbreviation CTR is used) positions, which are responsible for enroute traffic. They reside in Vienna.<br />
<br />
*Since they all use their radar to control air traffic, they are also called Radar positions.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
== Working Delivery Positions ==<br />
<br />
Clearance Delivery is responsible for checking and correcting flightplans of departing aircraft and issue routing clearances to them. <br />
<br />
=== Flightplan Structure ===<br />
<br />
'''Flight plans''' are documents filed by pilots with the local Civil Aviation Authority prior to departure. They generally include basic information such as departure and arrival points, estimated time en route, alternate airports in case of bad weather, type of flight (whether instrument flight rules or visual flight rules), pilot's name and number of people on board.<br> For IFR flights, flight plans are used by air traffic control to initiate tracking and routing services. For VFR flights, their only purpose is to provide needed information should search and rescue operations be required. <br />
<br />
Aircraft routing types used in flight planning are: Airway, Navaid and Direct. A route may be composed of segments of different routing types. <br />
<br />
#'''Airway:''' Airway routing occurs along pre-defined pathways called Airways. Mostly aircraft are required to fly airways between the departure and destination airports. The rules cover altitude, airspeed, and requirements for entering and leaving the airway (SIDs and STARs). <br />
#'''Navaid:''' Navaid routing occurs between Navaids (short for Navigational Aids) which are not always connected by airways. Navaid routing is typically only allowed in the continental U.S. If a flight plan specifies Navaid routing between two Navaids which are connected via an airway, the rules for that particular airway must be followed as if the aircraft was flying Airway routing between those two Navaids. Allowable altitudes are covered in Flight Levels. <br />
#'''Direct:''' Direct routing occurs when one or both of the route segment endpoints are at a latitude/longitude which is not located at a Navaid. This is a routing from Vienna<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
== Issuing IFR Routing Clearances ==<br />
<br />
DEL gives routing clearances to all departing aircraft with the following information:<br> <br />
<br />
'''Destination of flight'''<br />
'''SID''' (= Standard instrument departure) Normally the filed SID is given<br />
Initial climb altitude after departure (5000ft)<br />
'''Squawk''' (Squawk assignments for LOWW are 4600 to 4620)<br />
'''QNH''' (Local QNH of airport according to latest METAR) = given with taxi clearance<br />
CTOT (= Calculated take-off time) Slot time (Normally not used on the VATSIM network)<br />
<br />
The '''bold''' marked points are mandatory, all other points are optional.<br> <br> Normal construction of a routing clearance: <br />
<br />
Callsign, cleared to XXXX via XXXXX XX departure, (initial climb 5000ft), Squawk 46XX<br />
<br />
Example: <br />
<br />
Austrian 125, cleared to Frankfurt via LUGIM 1C departure, initial climb 5000ft,<br />
Squawk 4601.<br />
<br />
Some Aircraft are not able to follow SIDs for various reasons, most of the time due to missing equipment. In these cases you should issue a so called vectored departure. A vectored departure clearance includes the same components as a normal clearance but instead of the SID you issue instructions to be carried out after departure. In this case the initial climb altitude is mandatory. <br />
<br />
Callsign,cleared to XXXX, after departure RWY XX, XXXXXXX, initial climb 5000ft,<br />
Squawk 46XX<br />
<br />
Example: <br />
<br />
Austrian 125, cleared to Frankfurt, after departure Runway 29, turn left heading 240<br />
expect vectors to LUGIM, initial climb 5000 ft, Squawk 4601.<br />
<br />
You can find the instructions for each Airport within the [[Study Guide:Airport Details]] If the pilot responds with a correct readback you should answer with the following phrase: <br />
<br />
Callsign, readback correct. Austrian 125, readback correct /(readback was correct)<br />
<br />
Afterwards you either hand the pilot over to GND or wait for his startup request, depending on local procedures. <br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
== Special Situations (High Traffic, Slots, ...) ==<br />
<br />
==== Slots ====<br />
<br />
In order to guarantee a safe flow of traffic and to minimize delays in the air so called slots are being used. A slot is a timeframe of five minutes before to ten minutes after the CTOT mentioned before. The aircraft has to depart within this timeframe from its departure airport. On the VATSIM network this system is only used on special occasions. <br />
<br />
==== Behavior in situations with increased traffic ====<br />
<br />
Sometimes one of your neighboring sectors has to stop accepting traffic. In these cases you should delay an aircrafts start-up clearance. <br />
<br />
If possible you should inform the pilot about the expected delay: <br />
<br />
Austrian 125, readback correct, expect startup in 10 minutes.<br />
Austrian 125, startup approved, expect departure in 10 minutes.<br />

<hr />
<div>= Preperation =<br />
<br />
The Training Department welcomes you to the virtual ATC world of VATSIM.<br />
Your training contains much theoretical and practical lessons. <br />
<br />
== Software ==<br />
But before we start with your training you have to download some necessary software.<br />
<br />
To communicate with your mentor we use [[Teamspeak]].<br />
<br />
<br />
Thereafter we need an ATC client. There are a couple of clients available on VATSIM, but the VACC-Austria use only Euroscope. <br />
<br />
You can find it at the [http://www.euroscope.hu euroscope homepage] or you use the full configured VACC-Austria edition from our [http://www.vacc-austria.org//index.php?page=content/static&id=SOFTWARE_ATC homepage].<br />
<br />
== Rules & Regulations ==<br />
<br />
For sure, the priority of our hobby is having fun. But don´t forget we want to provide professional service to our pilots and this contains a handful of rules which we don´t have to ignore.<br />
<br />
The ''holy bible'' is the [http://www.vatsim.net/network/docs/coc/ Code of Conduct]. This regulation is valid for everyone on VATSIM. <br />
<br />
Additionally every VACC has Rules&Regulations regarding internal topics. Have a look into our [http://www.vacc-austria.org//index.php?page=content/static&id=RULES Rules and Regulations].<br />
<br />
== Gentleman Agreement ==<br />
<br />
Not everything is written down in a document. The VACC-Austria stands for an excellent relationship among ourselves, courtesy and their reliabilty. If you want to receive these qualities, give it to each other.<br />
<br />
=== Booking your station ===<br />
If you want to control on a specific date and time you have to book your station on our homepage. Choose your station and the time you want to make ATC. If you´ve booked your station everyone, specially the pilots, will see when they can expect ATC service and plan their flight to or from your station. If you won´t be able to control on your booked time, please delete your booking. It´s not nice if pilots fly to the airport according to your booking and no ATC is online.

== Software ==<br />
But before we start with your training you have to download some necessary software.<br />
<br />
To communicate with your mentor we use [[Teamspeak]].<br />
<br />
<br />
Thereafter we need an ATC client. There are a couple of clients available on VATSIM, but the VACC-Austria use only Euroscope. <br />
<br />
You can find it at the [http://www.euroscope.hu euroscope homepage] or you use the full configured VACC-Austria edition from our [http://www.vacc-austria.org//index.php?page=content/static&id=SOFTWARE_ATC homepage].<br />
<br />
== Rules & Regulations ==<br />
<br />
For sure, the priority of our hobby is having fun. But don´t forget we want to provide professional service to our pilots and this contains a handful of rules which we don´t have to ignore.<br />
<br />
The ''holy bible'' is the [http://www.vatsim.net/network/docs/coc/ Code of Conduct]. This regulation is valid for everyone on VATSIM. <br />
<br />
Additionally every VACC has Rules&Regulations regarding internal topics. Have a look into our [http://www.vacc-austria.org//index.php?page=content/static&id=RULES Rules and Regulations].<br />

== Innsbruck Kranebitten ([[LOWI]]) ==<br />
<br />
The airport was opened 1925 and is located on the west side of Innsbruck near the river Inn just about 3.5km away from the centre. Innsbruck became famous of his difficult west approach and was a long time one of the five most dangerous airports in the world. Since 29 February 1964, when an Bristol Brittania 312 (British Eagle Airlines) crashed into a southern mountain Glungezer (2610m), only special trained pilots are allowed to land in Innsbruck.<br />
<br />
Also specialities in Innsbruck are the 2 LOC/DME approaches. The OEV locator from the east has a 5 degrees offset to the runway, compared to the OEJ locator from the west which is leading the aircraft north over the airport. Both instrument approaches end latest at AB (Absam NDB) where the visual part begins.<br />
<br />
Innsbruck is the base of Tyrolean Airways (100% daughter of Austrian Airlines - Brand Name:Austrian Arrows), Tyrolean Jet Services, Tyrol Air Ambulance and Welcome Air. Additionally Air Alps has its technical base in Innsbruck. In the year 2005 the airport handled 40.389 movements and 738.296 passengers. That’s an increase of 2.57% for movements and 1.40% for passengers compared to the year 2004.<br />
<br />
In winter time the traffic is increasing significantly (more than 100 movements/day), mostly on Saturdays, as a result of the charter flights from Europe and Russia to the great ski region Tyrol in the middle of the Alps in Austria.<br />

== Klagenfurt Alpe-Adria Airport ([[LOWK]]) ==<br />
<br />
Klagenfurt Airport is located a couple of miles NE of Lake Wörthersee right in the heart of Carinthia in Austria. Like many other major airports in Austria in the 1950s, Klagenfurt had only one grass runway. In 1958 the concrete runway was built. During the Seventies, years with a strong economy, Carinthia became a more important holiday destination, thought flying wasn’t the first choice of travel of people then. Nevertheless it became necessary to build the first passenger terminal, in 1981 the runway was extended to its current length and in 2003 a CAT II/III landing system was added.<br />
<br />
At the beginning Klagenfurt was only serviced by Austrias home carrier Austrian Airlines. Today Klagenfurt/Alpe-Adria-Airport, as it is called, is the destination of many low-cost carriers such as Ryanair, Hapag Lloyd Express and Thomsonfly.<br />
<br />
South of the airport the Karawanken mountains are located which give the airport a unique location. Klagenfurt is also home of a lot of General Aviation companies as well as flying schools and Parachuters Clubs since the old grass runway still exists.<br />
<br />
During the European Volleyball Championships in summer Klagenfurt is also a seasonal destination of well known airlines from all over Europe.<br />

== Salzburg W.A. Mozart ([[LOWS]]) ==<br />
<br />
Welcome to Salzburg. Salzburg – W.A. Mozart has become Austria´s second largest airport since the days when there was only a grass runway and some wooden barracks around 1926; the airport is named after the famous composer. The airport, located in the Maxglan district is nowadays not only a great destination for low-cost carriers, but also a destination for some well known companies from all over the world. Salzburg is having its peak time during the winter-charter season. <br />
<br />
The technical equipment of the airport is state of the art and the arrival as well as the departure procedures can be quite challenging for some pilots. Salzburg has a CAT I ILS DME approach procedure. Because of its unique proximity to Mount Untersberg, runway 34 offers the possibility for a circling approach. <br />
<br />
With the beginning of the year 2000, besides many other GA companies, Red Bull bought the eastern part of the airfield and built two huge hangars - made entirely of glass – for its own airplanes. These hangars are better known today as hangars 7+8 – the aircrafts and the hangar parked there are not only a visitor attraction but they’re also the home of Red Bulls air race group showing jets, choppers and long gone oldtimers. <br />

<div>'''<span style="color:#ff0000;">This study guide is still work in progress. Stay tuned for further chapters.</span>'''<br />
<br />
==Introduction==<br />
This Study Guide has been designed to give you all the information needed to start controlling as a Clearance/Delivery controller on the VATSIM network.<br />
<br />
==Radio Communication - Basics==<br />
Because communication is crucially important for Air Traffic Control a fixed format and syntax is used, in order to minimize the risk of misunderstandings and to keep messages short. Worldwide English is the primary language in use, however in most countries you are also allowed to use the local language. In Austria VFR flights can choose their language whereas IFR flights are mostly conducted in English. Link: [[Buchstabiertabelle]]<br />
===Basic Rules===<br />
In order to achieve the goals set above the following rules important:<br />
#''Listen before you talk''<br />
#: It's impossible for two radio stations to transmit on the same frequency at the same time. If this is done, the radio signal will be blocked and this will result in a nasty noise on the frequency. Therefore it's important that every station monitors the frequency for about 5 seconds before transmitting, to make sure there’s no ongoing radio traffic. If you hear an ongoing conversation, wait until the conversation is over before you begin to transmit. Don’t start your communication if there is a read-back expected on the last transmission even if there is a short pause.<br />
#''Think before you talk''<br />
#: The radio traffic flow should be as smooth as possible. To achieve this it's vital to "think first" before transmitting so that a clear, concise and uninterrupted message can be sent.<br />
#''As far as possible use standard phraseology and syntax''<br />
#: To prevent misunderstandings and to maintain the radio traffic as effective as possible, stick to standardized phraseology and skip slang and of course private messages.<br />
<br />
===Callsigns and Initial Contact===<br />
Every participant on the network has his own Callsign. Controller Positions are identified by their location and their Function (e.g. Wien Radar, Graz Tower), Aircraft either by their Registration (e.g. OE-ALB) or an Airline Callsign followed by a combination of numbers and letters (e.g. AUA25LM, SWR387).<br />
To pronounce these letters and digits the ICAO-Alphabet is used.<br />
''<br />
To initiate the contact between two stations an initial call has to be made. This call has the following structure:''<br />
'''Station 1:''' Station 2, Station 1, Message <br />
'''Station 2:''' Station 1, Station 2, Message<br />
''Example - Austrian 251 is calling Wien Tower:''<br />
'''AUA251:''' Wien Delivery, Austrian 251, Radiocheck <br />
'''LOWW_DEL:''' Austrian 251, Wien Delivery, read you 5 by 5<br />
In Subsequent calls the calling station part can be ommited. <br><br />
When a controller (or aircraft) transmits a message to a station it is very important that the receiving station acknowledge the message and reads back any required parts.. If the receiving station does not acknowledge, the transmitted message is considered as a lost transmission and the sender should resend the message or check if the receiving station got the message.<br />
Items that must always be read back in full are all clearances (including altitudes, headings, speeds, radials etc), runway in use, altimeter setting (QNH or QFE) and transition level, and all frequencies. For a controller, this is extremely important to remember, since if a pilot's readback is incorrect, the controller has to ask for confirmation, i.e a new readback. There are also items that should not be read back to reduce unnesessary radio transmissions. In short, this includes everything not mentioned above, but a few examples are: wind, temperature and other weather information (except altimeter settings) and traffic information in detail.<br />
When giving an instruction the Callsign is stated at the beginning, when reading back you usually add it at the end of your transmission (although you are allowed to do it at the beginning too). <br><br><br />
'''Examples:'''<br />
'''LOWW_APP:''' AUA251, turn left heading 290, descend Altitude 5000 feet, QNH 1019.<br />
'''AUA251:''' Turn left heading 290, descending altitude 5000 feet QNH 1019, AUA251 <br />
<br> <br />
'''LOWW_GND:''' OE-DLT, taxi to Holding Point Runway 29 via Exit 12, M and A1, QNH 1019, give way<br />
to Speedbird Airbus A320 crossing you right to left on M.<br />
'''OE-DLT:''' Taxiing to H/P Rwy 29 via Exit 12, M and A1, giving way to Speedbird<br />
Airbus A320 on M, OE-DLT.<br />
<br> <br />
'''LOWW_TWR:''' NLY2678, wind 330 degrees, 6 knots, Rwy 29, cleared for takeoff.<br />
'''NLY2678:''' Rwy 29, cleared for takeoff, NLY2678.<br />
<br />
==METAR and TAF==<br />
References for detailed information: [[METAR]], [[TAF]]<br />
<br />
==How is an Aerodrome organized==<br />
As airports grew bigger over time also the workload for the Air Traffic Controller handling the traffic got bigger. Soon it was necessary to distribute this workload onto more than one controller in order to be able to cope with the traffic.<br />
<br />
So the Tower Position got divided into thre basic types with different areas of responsibility.<br />
<br />
* Clearance delivery (DEL), responsible for checking flightplans and issuing IFR clearances to departing aircraft.<br />
* Ground (GND), responsible for all traffic on the apron and the taxiways.<br />
* Tower (TWR), responsible for movements on the runway and within its associated Control Zone.<br />
Because Tower and Ground controllers rely very strongly on what they see out of their window, these are the positions which are situated within the airports control tower.<br />
<br />
Apart from that there are the controllers who manage the traffic once it has left the control zone. They are again divided into:<br />
* APP Positions, managing the traffic within the airports vicinity (the so called TMA, Terminal Area). In Austria they are situated directly at the airports.<br />
* ACC (Area Control Center, on VATSIM the abbreviation CTR is used) positions, which are responsible for enroute traffic. They reside in Vienna.<br />
<br />
Since they all use their radar to control air traffic, they are also called Radar positions.<br />
<br />
==Working Delivery Positions==<br />
Clearance Delivery is responsible for checking and correcting flightplans of departing aircraft and issue routing clearances to them. <br />
===Flightplan Structure===<br />
'''Flight plans''' are documents filed by pilots with the local Civil Aviation Authority prior to departure. They generally include basic information such as departure and arrival points, estimated time en route, alternate airports in case of bad weather, type of flight (whether instrument flight rules or visual flight rules), pilot's name and number of people on board.<br><br />
For IFR flights, flight plans are used by air traffic control to initiate tracking and routing services. For VFR flights, their only purpose is to provide needed information should search and rescue operations be required.<br />
<br />
Aircraft routing types used in flight planning are: Airway, Navaid and Direct. A route may be composed of segments of different routing types.<br />
*'''Airway:''' Airway routing occurs along pre-defined pathways called Airways. Mostly aircraft are required to fly airways between the departure and destination airports. The rules cover altitude, airspeed, and requirements for entering and leaving the airway (SIDs and STARs).<br />
*'''Navaid:''' Navaid routing occurs between Navaids (short for Navigational Aids) which are not always connected by airways. Navaid routing is typically only allowed in the continental U.S. If a flight plan specifies Navaid routing between two Navaids which are connected via an airway, the rules for that particular airway must be followed as if the aircraft was flying Airway routing between those two Navaids. Allowable altitudes are covered in Flight Levels.<br />
*'''Direct:''' Direct routing occurs when one or both of the route segment endpoints are at a latitude/longitude which is not located at a Navaid. This is a routing from Vienna<br />
<br />
<br />
===Issuing IFR Routing Clearances===<br />
DEL gives routing clearances to all departing aircraft with the following information:<br><br />
'''Destination of flight'''<br />
'''SID''' (= Standard instrument departure) Normally the filed SID is given<br />
Initial climb altitude after departure (5000ft)<br />
'''Squawk''' (Squawk assignments for LOWW are 4600 to 4620)<br />
'''QNH''' (Local QNH of airport according to latest METAR) = given with taxi clearance<br />
CTOT (= Calculated take-off time) Slot time (Normally not used on the VATSIM network)<br />
<br />
The '''bold''' marked points are mandatory, all other points are optional.<br><br />
<br><br />
Normal construction of a routing clearance:<br />
Callsign, cleared to XXXX via XXXXX XX departure, (initial climb 5000ft), Squawk 46XX<br />
Example:<br />
Austrian 125, cleared to Frankfurt via LUGIM 1C departure, initial climb 5000ft,<br />
Squawk 4601.<br />
Some Aircraft are not able to follow SIDs for various reasons, most of the time due to missing equipment. In these cases you should issue a so called vectored departure. A vectored departure clearance includes the same components as a normal clearance but instead of the SID you issue instructions to be carried out after departure. In this case the initial climb altitude is mandatory.<br />
Callsign,cleared to XXXX, after departure RWY XX, XXXXXXX, initial climb 5000ft,<br />
Squawk 46XX<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
Austrian 125, cleared to Frankfurt, after departure Runway 29, turn left heading 240<br />
expect vectors to LUGIM, initial climb 5000 ft, Squawk 4601.<br />
You can find the instructions for each Airport within the [[Study Guide:Airport Details]]<br />
If the pilot responds with a correct readback you should answer with the following phrase:<br />
Callsign, readback correct. Austrian 125, readback correct /(readback was correct)<br />
Afterwards you either hand the pilot over to GND or wait for his startup request, depending on local procedures.<br />
<br />
===Special Situations (High Traffic, Slots, ...)===<br />
====Slots====<br />
In order to guarantee a safe flow of traffic and to minimize delays in the air so called slots are being used. A slot is a timeframe of five minutes before to ten minutes after the CTOT mentioned before. The aircraft has to depart within this timeframe from its departure airport.<br />
On the VATSIM network this system is only used on special occasions.<br />
<br />
==== Behavior in situations with increased traffic ====<br />
Sometimes one of your neighboring sectors has to stop accepting traffic. In these cases you should delay an aircrafts start-up clearance.<br />
<br />
If possible you should inform the pilot about the expected delay:<br />
Austrian 125, readback correct, expect startup in 10 minutes.<br />
Austrian 125, startup approved, expect departure in 10 minutes.<br />
<br />
===Determination of active Runways===<br />
Pilots normally prefer to takeoff and land the aircraft with the nose into the wind because it shortens the Rwy length required to safely operate the aircraft. The wind direction given in the METAR is the direction the wind is coming from, so it is easy to compare this wind to your given runways. <br><br />
'''Example:'''<br />
{| class="prettytable"<br />
|-<br />
|You are the Tower controller at Salzburg Airport. The only runway at Salzburg is runway 16-34 so you have two directions available (roughly 160° and 340°.) The wind is coming from 180° at 5 knots. So the usual Runway in use would be rwy 16 for takeoff and landing.''<br />
|}<br />
However, at most airports a preferred runway configuration is defined (Find them here: [[Study Guide:Airport Details]]) which should be used if traffic situation and weather permits. Aircraft have certain limitations they can operate in, so normally the tailwind component should not exceed 5-10 knots (again depending on airport). Also the allowed crosswind is limited (This depends very much on the aircraft).<br><br />
Be aware that it is the pilots responsibility to accept a certain wind component and that this decision is often based on performance issues, so one pilot might accept the next one refuses to take a certain runway.<br />
<br />
So back to our example above:<br />
{| class="prettytable"<br />
|-<br />
|At Salzburg, due to the terrain in the vicinity and city of Salzburg around the airport, runway 34 is preferred for departures and rwy 16 for landing. So the indicated configuration would be DEP 34, ARR 16.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
===Use of the word takeoff===<br />
The word take-off shall only be used in combination with the take-off clearance (cleared for take-off). For other phrases use the word departure (ready for departure – NOT ready for take-off!).<br />

== Linz Hörsching ([[LOWL]]) ==<br />
<br />
Originally, Linz airport was located at the industrial harbour, where today’s gliding airfield is located at. In 1938 the airport was relocated to its present position “Hoersching” due to the construction of “Chemie Linz”, a big chemical industry factory. During world war 2 it was used as air force base. In 1956 the civilian passenger traffic started. Until the terminal building was erected in 1976 all flights from and to Linz airport were handled on the military apron which wasn’t very comfortable.<br />
<br />
Today’s airport equipment is state-of-the-art and offers a 3000 meters long and 60 meters wide asphalt runway which is equipped for an ILS CAT IIIb approach on RWY27 and an ILS CAT I approach on RWY09. Due to this fact, the airport is open and certified for all type of aircrafts. Until 1989 Linz was able to welcome the supersonic aircraft Concorde several times. Furthermore a 600 meters long grass runway is available mostly for general aviation aircrafts.<br />
<br />
In the southern part of the airport the air base “Vogler” is located which is the home base for two Hercules C130 aircraft of the Austrian military. In the year 2006 the airport was used by 762.000 passengers. Cargo plays an important role in Linz as 32.000 tons of cargo was handeld. The yearly number of movements varies between 13.500 and 14.500.<br />
<br />
In the past years Linz was found as an ideal airport for no-frills airlines like Ryanair, Niki, HLX, especially for their holiday flights. The newest route is offered by Air Berlin and Fly Niki and connects Linz to Nuremberg. The network carriers Austrian and Lufthansa also operate out of Linz.<br />

<br />
The airport of the styrian capital Graz, which is located in the south of the city, is operated by Graz public service „Grazer Stadtwerke“ and was used by nearly 893.000 passengers on 18.000 flights. The second-largest city of Austria with a population of about 250.000 is famous as a student city.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, Graz is location for companies like DaimlerChrysler, Infineon, Roche, Siemens, T-Mobile, Heineken, Magna Steyr and many more. Many visitors have also been attracted by the nomination as cultural capital of Europe 2003. As place of birth (Thal near Graz) of the actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, Graz got famous in the USA as well.<br />
<br />
Airlines like Austrian, Lufthansa, Ryanair, InterSky, WelcomeAir and Rheinair connect the airport with other Austrian, as well as German, Swiss and British cities. Additionally Graz can count on many charterflights from all over the world. In the end of the year 2005 the new, light-flooded and modern passenger terminal was opened and offers now a capacity of 1.5 million passengers a year.<br />
<br />
Graz is popular for the general aviation and is homebase for flight-schools as well. The airport offers a 3.000 meters long asphalt runway which is equipped with a CAT III ILS system to offer flight-service during all weather conditions.<br />

== &nbsp; Vienna International Airport ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Air_Transport_Association_airport_code IATA]:&nbsp;VIE, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Civil_Aviation_Organization_airport_code ICAO]: LOWW) ==<br />
<br />
<br />
The airport of the Austrian capital Vienna, is located south-east of the city and is connected by a train (called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_Airport_Train CAT – City Airport Train]) as well as a motorway to the Viennese City Center. The airport is famous as an east-west junction with over 15.9 Million passengers a year. The profitable Eastern Europe routes are provided by the homecarrier [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austrian_Airlines Austrian]. <br />
<br />
In the year 2005 the “[http://www.viennaairport.com/ Flughafen Wien AG]” started to build the so called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna_International_Airport#Terminals SKYLINK], an additional terminal in the eastern part of the airport which offers space for 91 check-in counters as well as 51 additional gates (5 of them are A380-approved). In the year 2006 the new air traffic control tower was opened. With it’s height of 109 meters, it’s the tallest control tower in Europe.

<div>vasFMC ist ein Navigations-Tool sowohl für den Microsoft Flugsimulator als auch für X-Plane, welches die Funktionalität und die Bedienung eines FMCs zu weiten Teilen nachzuahmen versucht. In den neueren Versionen sind auch PFD, ND, ECAM und FCU implementiert, sodass auch Homecockpit-Builder auf dieses Tool zurück greifen können. Eine Gauge Version für den MS Flugsimulator wird in kürze folgen. <br />
<br />
Programmiert wird vasFMC vom VAS Project Team, welches von unserem Mitglied [[Benutzer:Alex wemmer|Alex Wemmer]] ins Leben gerufen wurde. <br />

The airport of the Austrian capital Vienna, is located south-east of the city and is connected by a train (called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_Airport_Train CAT – City Airport Train]) as well as a motorway to the Viennese City Center. The airport is famous as an east-west junction with over 15.9 Million passengers a year. The profitable Eastern Europe routes are provided by the homecarrier [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austrian_Airlines Austrian]. <br />
<br />
In the year 2005 the “[http://www.viennaairport.com/ Flughafen Wien AG]” started to build the so called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna_International_Airport#Terminals SKYLINK], an additional terminal in the eastern part of the airport which offers space for 91 check-in counters as well as 51 additional gates (5 of them are A380-approved). In the year 2006 the new air traffic control tower was opened. With it’s height of 109 meters, it’s the tallest control tower in Europe. It can be seen from far away, so it got a landmark for the airport. <br />
<br />
Terminal 1 offers space for the carriers of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Alliance Star Alliance], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeroflot Aeroflot] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emirates_%28airline%29 Emirates].

<div>== Klagenfurt Alpe-Adria Airport ([[LOWK]]) ==<br />
<br />
Klagenfurt Airport is located a couple of miles NE of Lake Wörthersee right in the heart of Carinthia in Austria. Like many other major airports in Austria in the 1950s, Klagenfurt had only one grass runway. In 1958 the concrete runway was built. During the Seventies, years with a strong economy, Carinthia became a more important holiday destination, thought flying wasn’t the first choice of travel of people then. Nevertheless it became necessary to build the first passenger terminal, in 1981 the runway was extended to its current length and in 2003 a CAT II/III landing system was added.<br />
<br />
At the beginning Klagenfurt was only serviced by Austrias home carrier Austrian Airlines. Today Klagenfurt/Alpe-Adria-Airport, as it is called, is the destination of many low-cost carriers such as Ryanair, Hapag Lloyd Express and Thomsonfly.<br />
<br />
South of the airport the Karawanken mountains are located which give the airport a unique location. Klagenfurt is also home of a lot of General Aviation companies as well as flying schools and Parachuters Clubs since the old grass runway still exists.<br />
<br />
During the European Volleyball Championships in summer Klagenfurt is also a seasonal destination of well known airlines from all over Europe.<br />

<div>== Salzburg W.A. Mozart ([[LOWS]]) ==<br />
<br />
Welcome to Salzburg. Salzburg – W.A. Mozart has become Austria´s second largest airport since the days when there was only a grass runway and some wooden barracks around 1926; the airport is named after the famous composer. The airport, located in the Maxglan district is nowadays not only a great destination for low-cost carriers, but also a destination for some well known companies from all over the world. Salzburg is having its peak time during the winter-charter season.<br />
<br />
The technical equipment of the airport is state of the art and the arrival as well as the departure procedures can be quite challenging for some pilots. Salzburg has a CAT I ILS DME approach procedure. Because of its unique proximity to Mount Untersberg, runway 34 offers the possibility for a circling approach.<br />
<br />
With the beginning of the year 2000, besides many other GA companies, Red Bull bought the eastern part of the airfield and built two huge hangars - made entirely of glass – for its own airplanes. These hangars are better known today as hangars 7+8 – the aircrafts and the hangar parked there are not only a visitor attraction but they’re also the home of Red Bulls air race group showing jets, choppers and long gone oldtimers.<br />
