Euroscope in Denmark

Radar Profiles

Three profiles exist for Denmark:

1. COOPANS -MAIN / -SEC

Simulates the Danish configuration of COOPANS which is used by EKCH APP, EKRK APP, EKBI APP and Copenhagen ACC.

The COOPANS-SEC Profile is identical to MAIN in its operation, but has been configured to operate as a secondary display.

2. NITOS 

3. RADIS

Simulates the tower and approach radar system used in regional airports: EKSP, EKKA, EKYT, EKAH and Greenland. 

Radar System Overview

When loading the COOPANS or RADIS profile, a generic radar view of Denmark is displayed. The detailed information appropriate to the controlled sector will be loaded automatically after connecting. 

COOPANS

Used at EKCH APP, EKRK APP, EKBI APP and Copenhagen ACC.

Two Basic ASR configurations exist:

  • 2_APP - Used by APP sectors, displays all LOW ACC and APP sectors and coastlines.
  • 3_ACC - Used by ACC sectors, displays all HIGH+LOW ACC sectors and APP sectors. Coastlines are not drawn by default.

When controlling as Approach: upon connection to VATSIM, the radar display will automatically center and zoom on your area. Generally, no panning is required.

When controlling as ACC: upon connection to VATSIM, the radar display will center on the widest extent of your AOR. Use the VIEW menu on the left edge of the radar to focus on a certain area or TMA. It is recommended to switch to 2_APP momentarily when coastline display is required. 

The amount of detail drawn within a TMA depends on whether the local APP is online, or topdown is in force, this is automatically configured. 

NITOS

Used at EKCH TWR / APN, EKRK TWR and EKBI TWR. The only difference to COOPANS is the configuration of the lists.

 

RADIS

Used at EKSP, EKKA, EKYT, EKAH and in Greenland. Though the airfields are procedural, this profile should also be used in EKEB, EKVJ, EKOD, EKSB.

One ASR file pre-loads the RADIS configuration (1a_RADIS). Upon connection to VATSIM, the radar display will automatically center and zoom on your area.

RADIS is still in development, some features are not fully implemented. COOPANS may also be used to control APP in EKSP, EKKA, EKYT, EKAH. 

ASR Shortcuts

ASR switching is only used to display ground layouts, or switch between COOPANS APP/ACC for example if coastline data is required as ACC, or to declutter in a zoomed out view as APP.

COOPANS / NITOS
 RADIS
  • 1: EKCH
  • 2: COOPANS - APP
  • 3: COOPANS - ACC
  • 4: EKBI
  • 5: EKKA
  • 6: EKYT
  • 7: EKAH
  • 8: EKRK
  • 9: AFIS + EKRN
  • 1: RADIS - APP
  • 2: (not in use)
  • 3: EKSP
  • 4: (not in use)
  • 5: EKKA
  • 6: EKYT
  • 7: EKAH
  • 8: (not in use)
  • 9: AFIS + EKRN

in COOPANS: EKSP is only accessible via the OPEN ASR... function then selecting 3a_EKSP.ASR

Major airports are only drawn in their own ASR. Only procedural airports (EKSB, EKEB, EKVJ, EKOD & EKRN) share an ASR file. It is therefore not possible to have a single national ground view for all airfields.
