5.- Controllers Code

5.1.-Before connecting

5.1.1-Controllers must have basic knowledge of aeronautical communications procedures.

5.1.2-The controller must be familiar with the airspace rules for which he or she performs official duties.

5.1.3-The controller's computer must have IVAC control software installed and be familiar with IVAC operation.

5.1.4-If the user is a new controller or is unfamiliar with this airspace, Observer identity should be used when connecting. , Users can find relevant information about airspace rules from the IVAO database or the webpage of the zone where the airspace is located.

5.1.5-When going online as an Observer, users cannot use any "valid" callsign suffixes (such as CTR, APP, TWR, etc.), but must use suffixes such as "_OBS". At the same time, observers may not use voice or text communications on officially regulated channels.

5.1.6-Regulated seat must be a login name in the form "xxxx_CTR, xxxx_APP, xxxx_TWR, xxxx_GND", where "xxxx" is the ICAO code of your area.

5.1.7-In some large airports, the appointment of control seats must be performed in accordance with the Facility Rating Assignments (FRA). This means that users serving as control seats at these major airports must have a certain level of controller. The following example illustrates: A provision of the FRA states that "the user holding the xxxx_APP seat should have a controller level of S3 or higher." This means that if the user has only the S2 level, he / she can be a departure, ground or Tower seats, but not for near-in or district adjustment. If no other forward-only controller is online at the time, and you have full confidence in a close-up seat, you can serve this seat. But in accordance with the FRA rules, this seat is also open to other higher-level controllers. The pilot will also know that you are not an experienced approach or zone controller. FRA rules for an airport can be found on the webpage of the branch where the airport is located or here.

5.1.7a-All subtle levels of regulation such as the Maastricht Centre (EUR_M_CTR), unless holding written permission from TD / TAD / AOD / AOAD or HQ, must have a Regulatory Level of Above 1 Controller.

5.1.8-Before going online, you should check with the online controller first, and then pick one of the highest vacancies you can hold from the vacant seats.

5.1.9-Use a valid regulatory callsign suffix: _CTR, _APP, (_DEP), _TWR, _GND, _DEL, _FSS, etc.

5.1.10-Prepare your ATIS before going live.

5.2.-Connection

5.2.1-Do not go online unless you are sure you can be online for at least 30 minutes.

5.3.-Go live

5.3.1-Unless there are no online entry and exit controllers at the time, users may not control areas outside their area (such as a tower).

5.3.2-When the user is controlling the area outside his own area, if there is a controller in the hosted area, the user should hand over all the hosted aircraft as soon as possible.

5.3.3-Controllers should use frequencies, call signs and other information published in the IVAO database.

5.3.4-The emergency frequency (guard) 121.50 shall not be used unless in an emergency.

5.3.5-In order to adapt the approach procedures used to the current weather conditions, the controller should update his ATIS periodically, at least every hour.

5.3.6-Coordination with other relevant controllers (via private chat channels) is required before handing over the aircraft.

5.3.7-The following actions are prohibited: contact the aircraft under the control of other controllers to gain control rights through the guard channel or the establishment of private chat channels.

6.3.3-For new or inexperienced pilots, please indicate in the remarks area and the controller will provide the necessary assistance.

6.3.4-If no controller is online in the area, the pilot should listen to "Unicom, 122.80".

6.3.5-Check frequently for controllers coming online. If there are controllers online in the airspace, contact them as soon as possible. If there are no controllers in the airspace, but other controllers ask you to contact you, you should respond as soon as possible.

6.3.6-In some special cases, FRA may be used. FRA (Facility Rating Assignments) is a constraint rule that can be used in some busy airports. The following is an example: "At the time of adjustment from 1800 to 2000, pilots below the level of first officer must not land on EHAM and fall back to EHRD."

The above FRA will appear in the controller's ATIS information in the following format: "FRA-no FFO at EHAM 18.00-20.00 Z (alt. EHRD)". The FRA in effect at that time can also be viewed here.

6.3.7-The "guard" frequency 121.50 shall not be used in non-emergency situations.

6.3.8-Normally pilots must repeat controller instructions.

6.4.-Special Flight

6.4.1-Flight activities other than civil aviation, such as Coast Guard, rescue and military flights, are classified as special flights. Special flights are part of real flight and therefore part of simulation flight. Simulated terrorist activities or acts of war are strictly prohibited at IVAO. Although terror and war exist in the real world, it is prohibited to simulate any form of offensive and armed violence under the IVAO virtual sky. For details on this issue, please refer to Special Flight Rules.

7.- Rules for using speech

7.1-Due to its high fidelity, IVAO recommends using voice communication. However, considering that users cannot use voice communication in many cases, voice communication in IVAO does not have higher priority than text communication. IVAO treats the two communication methods equally.

7.5-In addition to participating in events, IVAO voice servers can also be used in other situations, such as IVAO's subordinate virtual airlines to establish company channels, controller coordination channels, and staff conference channels established by IVAO staff. In the above case, only the IVAO staff meeting channel can set a password.

7.6-The controller must use his own call sign as the channel name (eg xxx_CTR), not the frequency value as the TS channel name.

7.7-Only IVAO supervisors can add other channels.

7.8-Any rude behavior and language to the controller may cause the user account to be blocked.

7.9-Delete of IVAO Staff Channel is not allowed.

7.10-The pilot's login name on TS should be the same as the name he / she uses in IVAP.

7.11-Music is not allowed to play on the TS channel. Offenders will be suspended for 48 hours.

10.-Special Flight Activity Rules (Introduction)

10.1-Special Flight Activities (SO) Rules.

The function of the SO department is to set rules for all non-civilian flight activities carried out on the IVAO network. These activities include, but are not limited to, police flights, search and rescue flights, military and paramilitary flights.

10.2-Individual members driving police, search and rescue or military aircraft under the conditions of the IVAO General Flight Regulations are not considered special flights, so they can be implemented by members on their own initiative in compliance with the IVAO Standard Member Code.

10.3-Once training, practice or other flight activities require more people than regular flight activities, the SO activity rules must be followed, which can be found on the SO department webpage. These activities include formation flights, aerial refueling flights, search and rescue missions, carrier take-off and landing exercises, low-altitude flights, early warning flights, or any other flight activities approved by IVAO headquarters.

10.4-Before you start any kind of special operations we want to draw your attention to this quote from the IVAO Mission Statement:

Before starting to implement any form of SO, please pay attention again to the following description in the IVAO mission:

While pursuing the "real life" reproduction of flight under the real sky, we will also do our best to avoid some real regrets under the real sky, and to avoid conflicts of various ethnic, political and religious beliefs and contradiction. Not only that, we also do not want to simulate real-world attacks, wars, etc. under the virtual sky, all of which are strictly prohibited. In summary, IVAO is a delightful and instructive online world. Welcome to join IVAO.

10.5-In order to meet the above requirements, any air-to-air, air-to-ground strike training is prohibited on the IVAO network. Our network was built for flight-control simulations, and was never built to simulate war. Players of war games will find many online organizations on the Internet that are more suitable for their hobby.
