General guidelines
General
The purpose of this document is to ensure that quality service is provided at all times in United Arab Emirates airspace, and also so that a controller will never find himself submerged, and unable to copy.
It is mandatory for all IVAO members controlling a United Arab Emirates position to follow these guidelines. Users who do not comply may be asked to close their position.
The guidelines
Active controllers should be able to use all functions of IVAC, and have read the manual thoroughly.
All controllers must maintain their ATIS with the following information:
- Position name (Full name, not ICAO code. e.g. 'Abu Dhabi Intl. Airport Approach', not (OMAA_APP)
- Voice channel (if applicable)
- Weather / runway information / TA/TL (if applicable)
- No Unnecessary remarks in the Remarks section
The language used for aviation in the UAE is English and Arabic for Arabic pilots
All controllers must use standard phraseology at all times.
When available controllers should read, and understand the appropriate airport/sector procedures before logging on. If you should have any doubts please don't hesitate to contact the Division Head Quarters, or AOC if there is no chief.
Controllers are required to have all applicable charts available while on duty (for centre controllers this can be quite a bunch).
Use the squawking system approved for AE-Airports
In addition to the above controllers are required to meet the requirements set out in the position SOPs.
