### <span style="color: rgb(35, 111, 161);">1.1 Overview</span>

- <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Scope name: </span>**GW+GE,**
- <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Used by: </span>**EKCH\_GW\_TWR, EKCH\_GE\_TWR**

<span style="background-color: rgb(224, 62, 45);">\[PIC\]</span>

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">GW+GE scope is used by Ground West and Ground east only, and contains all relevant tasks for perfroming both inbound and outbound responsibilities on the maneuvering area, as well as top-down coverage when Apron is offline. </span>

Even if both GW and GE is online, the scope stays the same.

### **1.3 PLANNED DEP**

Column 4 and the bays associated (OTHERS, SAS, NORWEGIAN) represents planned departures, for use in case there is no delivery or sequence planner is online, resulting in an apron controller providing the clearance.

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The three planned departure bays work in an identical fashion as all other scope. Refer to </span>[Chapter 3 - CLR DEL](https://wiki.vatsim-scandinavia.org/books/software-manuals/page/clr-del-operation "Chapter 3 - CLR DEL")<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> for detailed information on its operation. </span>[![Rectangle 324.png](https://wiki.vatsim-scandinavia.org/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/scaled-1680-/vhzrectangle-324.png)](https://wiki.vatsim-scandinavia.org/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/vhzrectangle-324.png)

### <span style="color: rgb(35, 111, 161);">1.4 STARTUP</span>

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The bay STARTUP is for aircraft who has received the ATC Clearance, and has reported ready for startup. </span>

Only the appropriate aprons are represented, meaning if GND is online, no planes from Apron North are visible.

Strip must be moved out of the STARTUP bay and into the PUSHBACK bay when a pushback instruction has been issued.

#### **Strip design**

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Identical to STARTUP strip for AA+AD. </span>[Refer to Chapter 5 - AA+AD for expansion](https://wiki.vatsim-scandinavia.org/books/software-manuals/page/aaad-operation "Refer to Chapter 5 - AA+AD for expansion")

### **2.1 Startup and Pushback**

Startup and Pushback are done in identical fashion to apron and will not be discussed here.

[![Rectangle 324.png](https://wiki.vatsim-scandinavia.org/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/scaled-1680-/Rh8rectangle-324.png)](https://wiki.vatsim-scandinavia.org/uploads/images/gallery/2026-09/Rh8rectangle-324.png)

### **2.2 TWY DEP &amp; Transfer.**

Strip is usually handed over from APRON DEP to GW+GE. The strip should be cleared to a holding point, either by:

- Clicking HP and select the appropriate holding point, or
- Clicking HS and select one of the taxiways that is a holding point.

When aircraft approaches the holding point, transfer to appropriate controller in accordance with LAI

#### **2.2.1 Coordination Feature**

As GW you should set a sequence and transfer to appropriate holdings points for the sequence. This includes assigning holding points to flights with CTOT, which may have to wait.

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">TW+TE (Next Controller) May choose to coordinate a different holding point than you have assigned, by the use of the incoming coordination feature. </span>

This is recognized by the HP area of your strip becoming yellow. To accept the coordination:

- Click on HP, and select the same holding point as TE+TW requested you to use.

The yellow background will then disappear and the coordination is complete.

<p class="callout warning"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">You </span><u>**must** </u>move strips in correct order so bottom one is transfered first, to communicate correct sequence.</p>

### **2.3 Inbound Taxi**

<p class="callout success">Inbound aircraft are transfered to you in accordance with LAI.</p>

#### **2.3.1 General**

The HS field of the arrival strip will show you the default taxiway routing towards apron. You do not need to select this again, if you follow this standard routing.

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Transfer strip to appropriate apron as per LAI. </span>

#### **2.3.1 Transfer**

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Transfer is initiated via the SI Field to the appropriate Apron controller. In case the wrong identifier is shown, usage of the quick transfer buttons in the top part of the bay can be used to change the default next controller on the strip. </span>

#### **2.2.2 Apron East/South**

For flights destined for Apron East (Cargo/MIL) or South (GA), usage of the "Crossing Strip" is needed to solidify coordiantion for crossing 04R/22L with TE.

Once crossing has been completed, GW+GE, must assume if needed the crossing strip, and remove it.

#### **2.2.1 Coordination Feature**

As GW you should use standard taxi routings to apron unless otherwise coordinated.

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">APRON ARR (Next Controller) May choose to coordinate a different feeder route than you have assigned, by the use of the incoming coordination feature. </span>

This is recognized by the HS area of your strip becoming yellow. To accept the coordination:

- Click on HP, and select the same HS instruction as APRON ARR requested you to use.

The yellow background will then disappear and the coordination is complete.
