Welcome to IVAO India Division

Standard Operating Procedures

1. WHY
   This standard operating procedure is defined for all controllers in the Indian division in order to pass necessary information to each other.

2. WHO
   The Maintenance/Update responsibility for this policy lies with the Training Management Centre (TMC). This policy has been approved by IVAO-INDIA hqrs for training purposes and was drafted by Rohit Dalaya and Karan Malik on 01-01-2012. All recommendations/modification for updates to this policy should be sent to the TMC for review and approval.

3. TO WHOM
   This policy is meant for all controller plugging into any position in Indian Airspace.

4. FROM WHERE
   Too much and too less information, both can be unfavourable while passing over messages between ATC units.

5. REQUIREMENTS
   There is a provision of tagging the aircraft under control in IVAC which must be fully utilised for the benefit of all controllers. By tagging an aircraft, the information put in e.g. SID'S, headings etc would be visible to all neighbouring controllers thereby reducing the need to communicate with each other for the same. These functions are best accessed by first selecting the aircraft and then pressing either of these keys as per requirement.
   
   F5-waypoint
   F6-flightplan
   F7-speed
   F8-altitude
   
   Given below are the details each controller must insert:
   
   
   1. Clearance Delivery
      Insert the SID given in the clearance to the aircraft, e.g. For Molgo1A enter MLG1A, VEVAK 1A will be VVK1 A etc
      Incase the clr given is to provide vectors to SID termination point,then insertvVECTOR as tag.
   
   
   2. Ground Control
