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:

“Cleared to Destination via [Point]/[Flightplan route], FL060, expect level change, squawk 1234, after departure follow noise abatement procedure”

Push-back

All stands at the terminal require pushback, except Prop and smaller jets may taxi out.

IRL pushback is at the pilot's discretion, However on Vatsim, it is up to the individual controller to simulate this or not.

Taxi

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