 Communications
  • Voice controlling will be available (and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED). We will have a dedicated RogerWilco server running. IP is to be confirmed (Check ATIS :-)).

 

  • In case of Voice server failure it should automatically recover within 1-3 minutes.
    In case of such failure, please use text until voice restored. The controller will advice you once the voice server is back online or of a new IP if required.

 

  • All departures will be served on a first call, first served basis, unless traffic requires minor alterations to the sequence.

 

  • Voice is highly recommended due to the fact that in case of heavy lag in the SATSERV Network, pilot can still receive controlling though voice and the good old way of position reports…

 

  • If contact is lost during TEXT communications (due to SATSERV LAG, disconnection etc.), pilots should continue for the last cleared Procedure, Altitude or route. If contact is lost during a vectoring procedure for a course to finals, the pilots should use their judgment (situational awareness) and continue with the final approach they were being vectored to (i.e. an ILS) and contact the next controller if available.

 

5.1 Departure traffic from Athens/LGAT.

  •   IFR Traffic

    • Contact Athens Tower (LGAT_V_TWR) (Or Athens Delivery if available – LGAT_V_DEL) as soon as the doors are closed, and you are ready to receive ATC clearance, and BEFORE starting up engines.
      State your Callsign, parking position (if available) or the apron you are parked, that you fly under IFR and the information code provided by the controller’s ATIS.

    • Note that in case of heavy traffic you may face slight startup delay. Once you are cleared for startup at a specific time, you are not required to contact tower again, until you are ready to taxi. Startup at the advised time and contact tower for taxi.

     

  • VFR Traffic

    • Contact Athens Tower (LGAT_V_TWR) as soon as you are ready to taxi, stating your Callsign, destination, that you fly under VFR and the information code provided by the controller’s ATIS.

     

5.2 Arriving Traffic to Athens/LGAT

  •   IFR Traffic

    • Contact Athens Approach when requested by the controller. State your Callsign, current altitude and heading and last clearance received by Athens Control.

     

    • Runway 33R

      • You will be vectored for an ILS approach. Expect to be handed over to tower once established on the localizer or when about to establish the localizer.

      • Missed Approach – CLIMBING TO 4000Ft, TURN LEFT inbound EGN NDB. When instructed, contact Approach for further vectors.

     

    • Runway 15L

      • You will be vectored for a visual or standard VOR/DME approach to runway 15L. Expect to be handed over to tower when cleared to join the downwind or RIGHT hand base for 15L.

      •  Missed Approach – CLIMBING TO 4000Ft, TURN RIGHT inbound EGN NDB. When instructed, contact Approach for further vectors.

Once instructed by Approach, contact Tower stating your Callsign and current position.

 

Landing clearance will be normally given when:

  •  passing the Outer Marker for 33R or 

  • at short finals for 15L.

 

  • VFR Traffic
    You will be instructed to contact Athens Tower 118.10 once within Athens TMA.
