= Study Guide =
===Introduction===
 
Tower is responsible for all movements on the runways as well as for all movements within the Control Zone (CTR): e.g. LOWW_TWR: 10NM radius, GND to 2500ft MSL).<br>
 
Tower is also responsible for Ground and Delivery operations if they are not online. Tower also decides which runways are in use.<br>
 
  
===Basic Radio Communication Principles===
+
The Study Guides are tutorial-like documents for the relevant steps in your training career. Study them step by step along with your trainings.
===Radio Communication - Basics===
 
Because Communication is crucially important for Air Traffic Control a fixed format and syntax us 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.
 
====Basic Rules====
 
In order to achieve the goals set above the following rules important:
 
*Listen before you talk
 
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.
 
  
*Think before you talk
+
*[[Study Guide:Intro]]
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.

+
= Airport Primers =
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.
+
... are documents with procedures how to handle specific airports.
  
====Callsigns and Initial Contact====
+
*[[LOWI_Primer]] for Innsbruck
 +
*[[LOWW_Primer]] for Vienna (under construction)
  
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).

===Aircraft and basic Flying Principles===
 
===METAR and TAF===
 
 
 
'''METAR'''<br>
 
The word '''METAR''' comes from the French phrase "message d’observation météorologique régulière pour l’aviation". It is thought to be a contraction of the French words '''MÉT'''éorologique ("Weather") '''A'''viation '''R'''égulière ("Routine").<br>
 
A METAR is a codified observation message indicating airfield weather conditions observed at a given time. Such a message is established every hour, even sometimes every 30 minutes or shorter due to fast and heavy weather changes which affects the traffic flow.<br><br>
 
Sample:<br>
 
LOWW 011220Z 33007KT 280V020 3000 R34/1500 +RASH FEW040 BKN058TCU 16/07 Q1014 RETS WS RWY34 34231091 BECMG -SHRA SCT030CB<br>

2.) Day of Month/Zulu Time: '''011220Z'''<br>
 
<br>
 
3.) Wind: '''33007KT'''<br>
 
Wind direction (true heading), rounded to the nearest ten degrees and always expressed as three digits. Direction can be given as VRB if wind direction is variable and wind speed is at most 3 knots.<br>
 
plus<br>
 
average wind speed of last 10 minutes in knots.<br>
 
or<br>
 
maximum gust wind speed in knots.<br>
 
If it is calm, the wind is given as 00000KT.<br>
 
<br>
 
4.) Variable Wind Direction: '''280V020'''<br>
 
This field is used if the total variation of wind direction during the last 10 minutes is 60 degrees or more and wind speed is more than 3 knots. The direction extrema are given in clockwise order<br>
 
<br>
 
5.) Horizontal Visibility: '''3000'''<br>
 
Usually, only the minimum visibility is reported. If the minimum is less than 1500m and the maximum is over 5000m, the maximum visibility and its direction are indicated by a second visibility group following the minimum visibility.<br>
 
<br>

'''TAF''' Terminal Aerodrome Forecast<br>
 
METAR describes the current weather conditions, a TAF message
 
contains forecast information. Many of the elements are similar to
 
those used in METARs. An example of a TAF message:<br>
 
 
 
  LOWW 011400Z 011524 31008KT 9999 FEW040 BKN060 TX16/15Z TN10/24Z
 
    TEMPO 1521 32013KT -SHRA BKN045
 
    PROB30
 
    TEMPO 1520 31015G25KT 6000 SHRA BKN040 FEW045TCU
 
    BECMG 2324 CAVOK
 
The first two groups (LOWW 01140Z) are identical to METAR groups: location identifier and issuing day and time. The third group (011524) tells the period for which the forecast is given. The first two numbers denote day of month. The next four numbers give the validity hours. In this example, the forecast is valid from 15:00 to 24:00. After these code groups, a description of the forecast weather phenomena follows.<br>
 
 
 
===How is an Aerodrome Organized?===
 
===Working Delivery Positions===
 
====Flightplan Structure====
 
====Issuing Routing Clearances====
 
====Special Situations (High Traffic, Slots, ...)====
 
===Working Ground Positions===
 
====Taxi Instructions====
 
====Ground Traffic Management====
 
====Special Situations (High Traffic, Slots, ...)====
 
===Working Tower Positions===
 
====ATIS====
 
Bei der ATIS (Automatic Terminal Information Service) handelt es sich um eine automatisch generierte Informationsdurchsage für den Flugverkehr an größeren Flughäfen. Sie wird auf einer eigenen Frequenz in einer Endlosschleife gesendet und soll die aktiven Funkstationen am Flughafen entlasten.<br>
 
Piloten, die unter IFR an- oder abfliegen, sind verpflichtet, vor dem Erstkontakt mit der zuständigen Flugverkehrskontrollstelle zunächst das ATIS abzuhören. Beim Erstkontakt nennt der Pilot den ATIS-Kennbuchbuchstaben, um dem Controller zu bestätigen, dass er die aktuelle Version abgehört hat.<br>
 
<br>
 
'''Bestandteile einer ATIS Meldung:'''<br>
 
Name des Flughafens<br>
 
Laufender ATIS-Kennbuchstabe<br>
 
Zeit der Beobachtung des Flugplatzwetters<br>
 
Aktive Landebahn<br>
 
Übergangshöhe<br>
 
Windrichtung und -geschwindigkeit<br>
 
Flugsichten<br>
 
besondere Wetterlagen (z.B. Regen)<br>
 
Hauptwolkenuntergrenze<br>
 
Temperatur und Taupunkt<br>
 
QNH<br>
 
Änderungstrend<br>
 
<br>
 
Die ATIS wird alle 30 Minuten oder bei signifikanten Wetteränderungen erneuert.<br>
 
 
 
====Determination of active Runways====
 
====Transition Altitude/Transition Level====
 
Die Transition Altitude (TA) beträgt in Wien immer 5000 ft.
 
Der Transition Level (TL) ergibt sich in Abhängigkeit zum aktuellen Luftdruck (QNH):<br>
 
<br>
 
QNH      < 0977: TA + 3000 ft.<br>
 
QNH 0978 - 1013: TA + 2000 ft.<br>
 
QNH 1014 - 1050: TA + 1000 ft.<br>
 
QNH 1051 >    : TA = TL<br>
 
<br>
 
Zwischen der TA und dem TL befindet sich der Transition Layer, der einen Sicherheitsabstand von mindestens 1000 ft. zwischen dem "unteren Bereich" (Airport Elevation bis A5000 ft.) und dem "oberen Bereich" (Standard Luftdruck 1013 hPa bis Untergrenze TL) gewährleistet. Dadurch werden gefährliche Überschneidungen zwischen dem an- und abfliegenden Verkehr vermieden.<br>
 
 
 
====Runway Separation====
 
The runway utilization concept for LOWW is based on the fact that the airport layout with its crossing runways normally does *not allow simultaneous approaches* to both runways. Whenever possible, runways 11/29 and 16/34 will be used independently to allow departures on one runway (normally 16 or 29) while using the other runway for landing aircraft (independent runway configuration).<br><br>
 
Possible runway configurations are: ARR 11, DEP 16: SE winds, if no sim. apps possible* ARR 34, DEP 34: calm/NW winds ARR 16, DEP 29: calm/SW winds ARR 11/16 sim, DEP 16: calm/SE winds, if sim apps possible* * Simultaneous approaches to runways 11 and 16 are possible only at tower's discretion during certain weather conditions (visual reduction of separation). Aircrews are advised to show landing lights as soon as possible. In case of technical uncertainties during final approach that might possibly lead to a missed approach, aircrews are asked to inform ATC immediately.
