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](https://wiki.vatsim-scandinavia.org/books/training-library/page/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: - Kastrup Tower, DOC98 at Vallensbæk 1000 ft. VFR to Rigshospitalet 4 persons onboard, request to enter. - DOC98, Ketchup tower, Cleared into the Controlzone 1500 ft. or below. QNH 1013 winds at Kastrup 360/10. No reported traffic in the area. Report landed - Tower, DOC98, cleared in the Controlzone 1500 ft. or below via Vallensbæk, QNH1013, will report landed - Tower, DOC98 landed at Rigshospitalet. - DOC98, Roger, report ready for departure Departure: - Tower, DOC98, Ready for departure at Rigshospitalet VFR to Ringsted via Vallensbæk, 3 Persons onboard. - DOC98 Roger, QNH1013 winds at Kastrup 360/10, Leave the Controlzone via Vallensbæk 1500 ft. or below. Traffic is a C172 following Ellehammeruten Westbound, report airborne. - Tower, DOC98, leaving the control zone via Vallensbæk 1500 ft. or below QNH 1013, looking for the traffic. - Tower, DOC98, Reporting airborne, traffic in sight. - DOC98, Roger, Report Vallensbæk - Tower, DOC98, at Vallensbæk 1000 ft. - DOC98, Roger frequency change approved # 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: [](https://wiki.vatsim-scandinavia.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-11/zTGimage.png) - Aircraft identification - Callsign - Clearance limit - To destination aerodrome via either: **Flight planned route** - **WP then as filed** - **Radar vectors** (When issuing radar vectors, the entire trip will be via vectors only. Only issue this if specially coordinated with APP/CTR) - Cleared Level - Initial climb - Allocated SSR code - The squawk - Other information - Any practical information i.e. other runway for departure than stated in ATIS, maintain runway heading, follow standard noise abatement... 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."* # Wake Turbulence Schematic Departure from teh same runway, using the same takeoff positions| **Departing / Behind** | **Light** | **Medium** | **Heavy** | **Super** |

(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 |
