ATC procedures and restrictions
The following applies for providing ATC in the UIR sectors, and shall be respected accordingly:
- Although the UIRs are "Control Sectors" (not advisory service),
they use the _FSS suffix (except Maastricht Radar, which is _CTR),
but all provide ATC services.
This is a temporary workaround as our current VATSIM server software provides limited
radar- and radio range (400nm) for our UIR ATC purposes, when using the _CTR suffix. Future VATSIM server software
will hopefully enable custom Callsigns to have an extended range. When that happens, this item will be amended accordingly.
- ATCs must read any Special sector instructions (included
as a Readme.txt file within the UIR sector zip-file) prior to connecting online.
- Once logged on, there is an obligatory minimum online presence of 30
minutes.
- It is prohibited to provide FIR services (lower airspace), like
departure clearances, taxi and takeoff instructions, and approach instructions,
even when no lower local ATC is present.
- For some info on Oceanic procedures and routes, please have a look here.
- A template for the EURx sector ATIS is available here.
So, if you are confident that you can do this, and you
qualify (ref our Rating requirement), then this is an example of the skies
you can experience as an EUC VACC Controller !
