INTRODUCTION
This manual is for Pilots briefing, regarding all special procedures that they need to be
familiar with regarding their respective Controlled Airspace of Athens to achieve a more
realistic and smooth traffic flow during “Real Flights Event – Athens”.

Eleutherios Venizelos). The event will consist of civil aviation, general aviation and military
flights.
GENERAL RULES:
FOR THE COMMUNICATIONS:
o While you are on controlled airspace, stay close to your PC, otherwise inform the
o When joining a new frequency, wait for 5 seconds before you transmit to avoid
interrupting ongoing communication between the controller and another pilot
o Your transmissions should be as brief as possible. For instance, when you join a
new frequency, GR001 inbound XAVIS, descending FL130
o Before you start your taxi or enter in a controlled airspace, it’s a good practice to
right down the frequencies of the stations you will contact.
DURING THE FLIGHT:
o It is expected from you to follow the instructions of the ATC controller to the letter
unless the “safety” of your flight is endangered
o It is expected from you that you will follow the instructions immediately after your
read back
o Emergencies add a touch of realism, so the pilot is expecting to act realistic in the
communications as
o Choose a plane you are well familiar with
o Your callsign should be the same as the one shown in the booking system for your
selected flight

of them are able to split to two smaller sectors of West and East (W & E).
Depending on the traffic the two original sectors will be manned only, providing separation
to higher levels and overflying flights.
In the following table you will find all relevant information.

DEPARTURES
TIME OF DEPARTURES:
You can find the departure times in the booking system. Your aim should be to ask for a
pushback or engine start up +-5 minutes of your flights departure time.
Attention: all times are in ZULU!!
You can connect to the network 20 minutes before your departure time in the parking
position written in the booking system. ATC clearance can be requested 10 minutes
before your scheduled departure time.
If you are not ready for pushback or engine start up 5 minutes after your departure time,
your flights is marked a delayed.
In this case you have to report it to the ATC controller to issue you a new departure time.
CLEARANCE:
In Athens airport, you can obtain your clearance from LGAV_DEL Venizelos Delivery
frequency 118.670.
In your first contact with the station pass the following information:
• Callsign
• Type of Aircraft
• Parking Position
• ATIS information
Example:
Pilot: Venizelos Delivery good evening, Greek Division 001, Airbus 320, in position 6 with ATIS
Foxtrot, request clearance to Heraklion as filed.
ATC: Greek Division 001, Foxtrot is correct, you are cleared to Heraklion as filed with SOREV 2J
departure, Runway 03R, initial climb FL130, squawk 5601.
After your correct read back the controller will reply to you: “Read back correct, contact
Athens Ground on 121.700” or in the case of Souda airport “Read back correct, report when
ready for engine start-up”
If you are unable to follow an instructed procedure report it timely to the controller.

ENGINE START-UP AND TAXI
At “Eleytherios Venizelos” Airport – LGAV, all the positions require pushback except the
positions below:
Stands from Β50 to Β67
Stands for General Aviation apron
The Cargo stands besides F02 F04 F06 F08
Position Β17 and Β17Α is VIP reserved and no connection or parking is allowed
The procedure in cases without push back is to obtain start up clearance first by ATC and
after start up is complete request taxi clearance.
When you call Venizelos Ground report only the following:
▪ Callsign
▪ Parking Position
Example:
Pilot: Greek Division 001, good day, at parking B57 requesting engine start up.
It is always a good practice no matter how many times you have visited the airport to have
your charts readily available.
REQUEST taxi only when you are able and ready to do so.

received instructions from the Center about the arrival procedure. If you don`t have such
instructions, advice the Approach controller.
Your first contact with the Approach should include the following:
▪ Callsign (if you are flying a heavy, report it here e.g.: GR001 “heavy”)
▪ Present altitude/FL
▪ Cleared altitude/FL
▪ ATIS information
If the frequency is very busy, don`t try to report all the above, just your callsign is
enough.
Transition Altitude (TA) is 9000ft (feet)
240 KIAS limitations to Speed apply from FL100 or Lower.
220 KT at or below 5000ft, when established on the final approach course or until 14NM from
the landing threshold, whichever occurs first;
180 KT at a distance of 8NM from the landing threshold;
160 KT at a distance of 6NM from the landing threshold.
FINAL – TOWER
When you are on the final of the active runway, the controller may not answer you, you
are expected to continue the approach until the minimums and after that to start the
published missed approach procedure.
Be on guard, the controller may ask you at any time to go around and fly the published
missed approach procedure.
Report for localizer established you should do only when you are on the actual localizer and
not earlier when trying to capture it. You should not expect ATC instructions to report.
Never land without clearance from the appropriate ATC.
