Local regulations
IFR clearance
Request start-up and clearance from Landvetter Ground and state stand position and latest received ATIS letter.
If unable to follow FMS/RNAV SID inform ATC when requesting clearance. Expect to be assigned a SID and to follow special instructions given in the SID charts.
Note that unless otherwise instructed, aircraft cleared via SID shall climb to 5000 ft. This altitude is not included in the clearance, because it is stated in the SID charts.
Push-back
Push-back is generally required at stands 5 – 40 and 68 – 78. In real life, push-back at Landvetter is handled between the flight crew and the ground engineer (the pilots are not required to get an approval for push-back by ATC). However, on VATSIM you should contact Ground to request push-back.
Taxi
Unless otherwise instructed by ATC, the standard taxi routes (arrival, departure RWY 03, departure RWY 21) shall be followed.
Note: Taxi clearances may not include the complete taxi route, as pilots are expected to follow the standard taxi routes.
Take-off and climb
When passing 2000 ft contact Göteborg Control on frequency according to the SID charts, unless otherwise instructed.
If unable to follow FMS/RNAV SID, inform Göteborg Control on initial contact using the phraseology "unable RNAV SID."
Flight planning
Arriving traffic shall be flight-planned via one of the following TMA entry points:
KELIN, NEGIL, MOXAM, RISMA, LOBBI, MAKUR
Star
If unable to follow RNAV STAR, inform ATC and radar vectoring will be provided.
Different STARs will be assigned in high density and low density traffic. High density STARs end at an IAF, from where radar vectoring will be provided to final approach. Low density STARs lead all the way to final approach.
speed restrictions
Maximum speed in Göteborg TMA below FL100 is 250 knots, unless otherwise instructed by ATC.
Aircraft shall maintain minimum 160 knots on final until OM or advise ATC if unable.
Low visibility procedures (LVP)
Arrival:
- CAT II approach available. Request CAT II approach from Göteborg Control.
- RWY 03: Vacate RWY via TWY E, F or Y north.
- RWY 21: Vacate RWY via TWY D, C, B or Y south.
- After vacating RWY, report when clear of the ILS sensitive area (when the whole aircraft has left the yellow/green coded TWY centreline lights) and stand by for taxi clearance.
Noise abatement procedures
