Holding Procedures

We try our best to minimize holding during the event.

  • Pilots shall be prepared for non-standard holding procedures
  • ATC will give the inbound heading, turn direction and inbound time
  • Inbound timing for a standard hold is one minute when at or below FL140 and one and a half minutes when above FL140.
  • Pilots may view the planned holding locations in our Map Service.

Re-routing

  • Pilots are requested to use our route planner at fss.vatsim-scandinavia.org
  • If you don't find a route for your departure location or if your route is invalid, pilots shall be prepared for re-routing issued by ATC

If you are unsure of a given re-route, please don't hesitate to ask ATC for the complete route by text.

  • Mandatory routes to Rovaniemi are shown in our Map Service.
  • ATC may give a tactical re-route for better sequencing even if pilot has used a correct route

Arrival Slots

  • All arrivals to Rovaniemi are required to:

    1. have a valid slot booking, or;
    2. have received a non-event release by ATC
  • Don't worry if you don't have a slot. There will be around 10 non-event releases every hour!

    • Pilots who don't get a chance for a slot are diverted to another airport (our suggestions are EFOU, EFKT or EFHK)
  • Pilots are requested to plan their departure time in order to arrive during their booked slot time
