* I use the term 'preferred' loosely... of course we'd rather an ICAO-style convention to be implemented globally. A non-official rumour for you is that such a change is currently being investigated.
Rob
Yay! The Americans are switching to ICAO anyway so it only makes sense. Now we just need Flight Data Processors built into the network to compute all the altitudes and speeds and to assign squawk codes for us!
Dean, as controllers, we would rather that you didn't follow the ICAO standard and use the former-FAA (American) style as this way it all fits onto the boxes on the screen properly. To be honest, I don't even know what the codes mean and no where does it say that we are require to know. The equipment that you've put in that flight plan is basically what I assume any B777 would have and I would go by that until the pilot tells me the magic word, "UNABLE".

I'm not going to be able to do APP because I have a graphics driver problem which is stopping me from seeing things :mad:. However, from the 3D view, everything appears fine, so could I please have which ever TWR Arjun doesn't want?

To Everyone who flew into Melbourne tonight:
Sorry about the delays to anyone who flew into the Melbourne TMA (including YMML) under my control. My controller client decided that it didn't need to draw half of the text on my screen, and any of the aircraft symbols. I probably should have just disconnected and let everyone off to UNICOM.
I hope that it did not cause too many problems for you if your were involved. I apologize for any inconvenience or upset that it may have caused.

If any position isn't covered by Friday, I'll take it, please Dave.
-
A three letter acronym for you to Google, AIP, whatever: RIS... although last Friday on ML APP, not many people asked for it... probably a good thing
-
Ooh, approach would be nice... and how do I sign up for the VFR event ATC team?
-
Also' date=' I think for next year we may only run it over Saturday and Sunday, thus dropping Friday night, as we had only 3 controllers in the Centre on Friday night - obviously not a popular night.[/quote']
However, it was DEFINITELY popular with those flying from home... I would know
-
Thanks, Ross.
-
Thanks, Ross.
To everyone else, I have found a link to the AIP SUP which is no longer on the ASA website. http://media.vsip.com.au/07avalon/s7-h01.pdf
-
Ross, will GA be able to get into Avalon during said five minute breaks?
-
You don't want to accidentally end up in Williamstown in Melbourne...
-
Great flying tonight guys, and thanks to Arjun, Terry and Daniel for controlling. Good to see people actually being able to fly the DME arc for the ILS approach.
-
Haha, no thanks, I'll leave that to Jackson...

Two weeks ago, Australia Online was done quite well guys, congratulations! Tonight will be Townsville, QLD (YBTL). This is a shared (MIL / CIV) aerodrome, not too far from Cairns.
ATC Positions:
- TL TWR
- TL APP
- ML CTR (KPL)
Flights:
CS - TL: DCT CS SWIFT TL DCT
TL - CS: DCT TL R346 SWALO Q26 CS DCT
BN - TL: DCT BN V134 TL DCT
TL - BN: DCT TL V153 WALTA Y177 BN DCT
DN - TL: DCT DN J61 CS Y177 TL DCT
TL - DN: DCT TL V134 MAGPI V167 BN DCT
There are probably some good VFR flights as well. If my flight routes are wrong, feel free to correct! Hope to see good traffic tonight.
-
Hmm... the AIP SUP has been removed from ASA's website. Got the arrival details, but does anyone have the VFR departure details? And what will happen WRT inbound and outbound traffic? I'm not sure I quite understand what will be happening...
Also, nice photos of the arrival paths from the real airshow website: http://www.airshow.net.au/avalon2009/flying-in/approach-path.html

Absolutely great weekend guys, will remember it for a while... still having nightmares about Friday night's CB TWR
-
Does anyone have copies of the guides for Dual Tower ops and Director ops?
-
Someone typing this post might be doing something to bridge this gap...

CANBERRA TOWER's Ten Commandments
1. Please transmit one at a time
2. Please get airways clearance
3. Please get taxi clearance
4. Please get runway cross clearance
5. Please don't cause runway incursions
6. Please don't cross the runway while there's an aircraft taking off or landing
7. Please call me BEFORE you get to the holding point
8. Don't get annoyed at me if you've been sitting there for half an hour because your at the other runway and called me a few times after I told you to expect delay
9. Rolling Thunder guys, please get me an SMC that can connect on to SMC and is able to do his job without technical problems
10. Please fly more so that I become bald by the end of this weekend at the age of fifteen!

I will be flying MER to CB (as per the VFR Event) from approx 0900Z but I can man up to APP/DEP? after that.
-
Don't forget to turn off your cockpit lights between 2030 and 2130 local!
-
Argh, I find ATC Sim extremely annoying because the aircraft appear to come in randomly and not sequenced, a job that CTR should be doing. But good practice for the day masses of aircraft come in with no CTR, lol
-
Lol, I just turned off the weather. For future reference, when your in the circuit, the controller does not handle your separation as you are on a visual approach and therefore it is your own responsibility to maintain sufficient separation. This is similar in a radar tower (i.e. PH, SY, ML, etc) when on a visual approach. It's really not that hard to pull the throttle and stick back to avoid making baby planes with the plane in front of you.

Apologies mate' date=' keep forgetting those out west have technology![/quote']

Well, maybe I'll have to upgrade my graphics drivers again, so that the aircraft symbols stop displaying: http://vatpac.org/forums/showthread.php?t=10546
