First Contact (Ground) On first contact with a VFR departure, Ground should assign them a squawk code, provide the local QNH (together with startup clearance, if the aircraft requires it), and ask for their intentions. Ground should coordinate any VFR flight...

A standard traffic circuit consists of four legs: crosswind, downwind, base, and final. In general, a standard traffic circuit is a left-hand circuit at 1000ft AGL. (This is general common practice, and is in fact a rule in Iceland.) Certain aerodromes, ho...

Traffic Information In most cases, VFR aircraft are expected to maintain their own separation from other traffic, using traffic information provided by ATC. Thus, providing accurate traffic information to VFR pilots is critical to help them safely maintain th...

VFR Cruising Levels From 3000ft – FL195, VFR aircraft are allocated cruising levels separated by 1000ft, following the East/West semi-circular rule plus 500FT (i.e., Eastbound VFR flights fly at odd thousands of ft + 500FT, and Westbound VFR flights fly at ev...

In Iceland, plans are required for all VFR flights entering controlled airspace (which includes aircraft departing/arriving controlled aerodromes), as well as all VFR flights at night. VFR flight plans on VATSIM are filed using VATSIM’s standard ICAO-format f...
