IFR clearance
Initial contact is with Tower, reporting callsign, stand number, and latest ATIS identification letter.
Remember to read/listen to the entire ATIS as there might be some specific info related to you!
IRL, IFR Clearance is given on the taxi to the RWY. It is up to you whether you want to simulate this or not.
As there are no SIDs in Aarhus your departure clearance will sound like this:

All stands are self manouvering, if push is needed it can be requested from ATC.
IRL startup is at the pilot's discretion, However on Vatsim, it is up to the individual controller to simulate this or not.
