Helsinki Fully Staffed 20.3.2010
09.03.2010 klo 17:56 / Arttu Vattulainen
20th of March 2010 IVAO Finland is organizing event, which will take place at Helsinki-Vantaa airport (EFHK).
Between 1600 and 2100 UTC we will provide fully staffed Helsinki-Vantaa airport and Southern Finland ACC with highly experienced controllers. This event will be handled with the experienced Finnish style, so there will be loads of fun for everybody!
Here are some procedures for Helsinki-Vantaa airport and please take a few moments to read them. Main thing is that you have charts onboard and and the appropriate scenery installed.
Arriving flights:
- Make sure you have the add-on scenery with the new third runway (04L / 22R), as default FS2004 scenery does not have this runway! FSX includes it as default, but it's recommended that you at least install AFCAD for EFHK.
- Plan your flight to enter EFHK TMA from one of these points: INTOR, LAKUT, PEXEN, PVO, ORM. You may expect holdings over these fixes.
- Expect either radar vectoring or a STAR route for arrival. Inform the ATC if you are unable to fly the cleared STAR route.
- If you landed on rwy 15 or 33, contact EFHK_GND on 121.8 after vacating. If landed on rwy 04L or 22R, remain on TWR frequency.
- There is no need to report when parked on the apron and there is no need to request shutdown / "leave the frequency" permission.
- In case of missed approach, follow the procedure in the approach chart. Tower will advise of frequency change in such case.
- Independent parallel approaches possibly expected
Departing flights:
- Make sure you have the add-on scenery with the new third runway (04L / 22R), as default FS2004 scenery does not have this runway!
- Plan your flight to leave EFHK TMA via one of these points: ARTUR, RUNEN, ELMUT, PIVAK, ANT, MILSI, PVO/GOGLA, DOBAN.
- Contact EFHK_DEL on 118.125 MHz for departure clearance. After received the clearance, change to EFHK_GND on 121.8 MHz for startup, pushback and taxi.
- Departure clearance will include a SID route from the active runway. If you are unable to fly the SID, report it and you will be given an alternate clearance!
- Remember that initial climb altitude for all SID routes at EFHK is 4000 ft unless otherwise cleared.
- When airborne and passing 1500 ft, contact EFHK_APP on 119.1MHz or 129.850MHz depending on the SID.
All are welcome!
