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!

<p class="callout info">IRL, IFR Clearance is given on the taxi to the RWY. It is up to you whether you want to simulate this or not.</p>

As there are no SIDs in Aarhus your departure clearance will sound like this:

*“Cleared to Destination via \[Point\]/\[Flightplan route\], FL060, expect level change, squawk 1234, After departure left/right turn toPOINT”*

### Push-back

All stands are self manouvering, if push is needed it can be requested from ATC.

<p class="callout warning">**IRL startup is at the pilot's discretion, However on Vatsim, it is up to the individual controller to simulate this or not.**</p>

### Taxi

Runway 28R/10L is not used on Vatsim, hence you can expect to use this runway as a taxiway.

### Runways

In Aarhus, there are 2 runways. Whereas RWY 10R/28L is the primary. RWY 28L have ILS CATII and 10R have ILS.  
Runway 28R/10L is not to be used.
