![]() ![]() IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) apply in all other cases.VFR (Visual Flight Rules) can apply when a pilot is able to orientate and recognize other aircraft and obstacles visually (that means, for example, the sky should be clear of clouds at low altitudes near the airport when taking off and landing, light must be sufficient, and there must be little or no fog at all) they are used mainly in general aviation.See Flight rules for the main article about this subject.Ī distinction you should know for flying in controlled areas is the one between IFR and VFR flights, as flight planning and some phraseology are different. This is usually done with the phrase: "callsign, contact station on frequency". If more than one controller is manning an area, the first controller should tell the pilot to contact the second controller when the airplane is about to enter the airspace of the latter. as an exception to the rule above, Tower controllers often act also as Approach controllers for the respective airports.a controller filling a particular position also fills the positions below him/her (the one listed before in the table above) if no one else is covering it for example, if EGKK_TW (a Gatwick Tower Controller) is online, but there is no EGKK_GN, the Tower controller acts also as Ground controller.Since there are not many ATCs in FlightGear, often a single controller fills more than one position. At large airports, multiple controllers may man the same positions.For example, LFFF_CT is France Center, and LFFF_FS is the France Flight Service Station. Center controllers also have ICAO identifiers, but they are not for one airport, but for a larger area. ![]() For example, London Gatwick is "EGKK" so a Gatwick Tower Controller would log-in as EGKK_TW.
