AFIS

Danish AFIS AD

In Denmark we have 5 TIZ/AFIS AD:

The 3 later mentioned do not hold any commercial traffic.

AFIS phraseology

ATC clearance "Cleared to..." "Copenhagen control clears you to..."
Startup "Startup approved" "Startup on own discretion [Give Departure information]"1
Takeoff "Cleared for Takeoff" "No reported traffic on the runway (Report airborne/passing...)"
Taxi "Taxi Via A & B to holding point runway 24" "Runway 24 in use, no traffic on the apron. I suggest you to taxi via A & B"
Departure and arrival information
Departure information should be given to departing aircraft and must contain:
  • Runway in use
  • Transition Level

Heliport Information Service - HIS


Helicopter platforms are operated as an AFIS (HIS), even if inside class D or C.
Helicopter operations at controlled airports are operated as normal traffic as per BL-7-14

The Heliport is categorized as an HIS, so only information can be given on the platform itself. However, when the Helicopter is airborne, it is subject to the normal rules of the airspace.

The normal operation would be to give current wind and QNH from the nearest Airport and have the helicopter report landed and airborne.

Based on this, a landing and departure from Rigshospitalet/EKRH could be:

Departure:

Non Standard IFR Clearance

When no SID, or aircraft is unable to follow SID, a non-standard clearance must be issued.

All non-standard clearance must be coordinated with APP or CTR unless specified in LAI

The clearance must contain:

Based on this a clearance out of EKRK could be:

"OYDDA cleared to EDDH via MAXEL, KOPEX then as filed. Climb initially 5000 ft. level change en-route, squawk 1234"

Or in EKYT:

"SAS123 cleared to EKCH via TNO, climb FL120 level change en-route, squawk 1234. After departure runway 08L follow standard noise abatement procedure."

Here TNO is the only WP in the flightplan, and only valid for EKCH & EKRK, hence no then as filed after the WP.

Or in EKAH:

"RYR4EX cleared to Stansted via Flight Planed Route, climb FL060 expect level change en-route, squawk 1234."

Or in EKEB (AFIS):

"DTR1 Copenhagen Control clears you to EKCH via Flight Planned Route, Initial climb FL050 squawk 1234. After departure runway 26, right turn to ABINO."

As EKEB is an AFIS the clearance has to go via the overlaying EKDK sector, hence the "Copenhagen Control cleares you to..."

If an Aircraft wants to perform IFR Circuts a Non-std clearance must be issued as well.
An example in EKCH, could be:

"NSZ8938 cleared to Copenhagen via radar vectors, climb 3000 ft. squawk 1234. After departure maintain runway heading."

All commands can be found on the official ES site. Please note that not all commands functions propperly with our setup, and some shouldn't be used at all! Command line reference

DO NOT use the 'Busy mode', major conflicts can happen if a supervisor needs your attention, or other ATC for coordination!

A full list of all the shortcuts can be found here, as a guide on how to edit these: Editing and function keys

Custom ALIAS Files

General

The ALIAS file describes all the . (dot) shortcuts for Text pilots in Euroscope.

The file is located in: EKDK > Alias folder

It is highly recommended that all controllers make their edits or at least personalize the file to make it fit your exact needs.

How to edit

Basic structure

The file itself is split up in different sections to make it easier to edit and read.
All these categories are defined with: 

;*** [Name] ***

The commands itself are defined with: 

.[command] [Text to be inserted]

An example could be:

;*** A_TWR ***
.conapp Winds are $wind, runway $arrrwy, continue approach, you're number $2

To automatically insert values following codes are used:



Wind $wind
Arrival Runway $arrrwy
STAR $star
SID $sid
QNH $altim([ICAO])
SSR Code $asquawk

How to edit urself

You can enter as many new lines as you desire, just remember the basic lines as described above.

Once you are done simply save the document and remember to load it into Euroscope:

Open SCT > Load Aliases > Navigate to your Alias file.

If you have made a good file, or have some new entries, please share them with the Staff or @Jeppe S.
Then they might be uploaded here for sharing.
