VCCS
Introduction Several communication channels are combined into a single system via a voice communication system (VCS). A basic telephone may be adequate for certain ATS units (like an AFIS or Tower unit at a small airport), but this is typically not the case fo...
Introduction
Effective communication between pilots and air traffic controllers (ATC) is essential for flight safety and efficiency. Standardized phraseology ensures clarity, uniformity, and minimizes ambiguity in radiotelephony (RTF) communication. The phraseology outlin...

IFR example
In this document, we use the following convention: IFR Pilot call sign is DAH1234. This is a flight from Paris Charles de Gaulle (LFPG) to Algiers Houari Boumediene (DAAG). The sign ✈️ before the text means: this is the aircraft pilot transmission. (🛩️ fo...
VFR example
In this document, we use the following convention: VFR Pilot call sign is F-GLRA. This is a VFR flight from Jersey (EGJJ) to Rennes (LFRN). The sign 🛩️ before the text means: this is the aircraft pilot transmission. (🛩️ for VFR, ✈️ for IFR) The sign 🚁 be...

Cancellation of IFR
Flight Rule Changes and Procedures IFR to VFR Transition When an aircraft operating under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) enters Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC), it shall not cancel its IFR flight unless it is expected that VMC will be maintained for a ...
Weather Deviations
General Procedures Route deviations may be necessary due to weather or other operational constraints. When issuing a route deviation, ATC should provide a direct “when able” point for the aircraft to rejoin its original flight plan. If no point is provided, t...
Departures
En Route Clearance and Start-up Clearance is along with their en route clearance. This clearance includes a SID or runway heading, and pilots can expect an initial climb to 4000 feet. Please note that a separate clearance for pushback & start is required. If...
Arrivals
When flying the arrival, make sure to follow the published altitude restrictions and comply with any ATC instructions. Before arriving at the Initial Approach Fix (IAF), expect the controller to either clear you for the approach, instruct you to hold or vector...
CPDLC Plugin
1. General Controller Pilot Data Link Communication (CPDLC) allows pilots and controllers to communicate between each other via data link. It has not been set up to replace voice to voice communication but as an implementation of the voice to voice in order t...
