VATJO ATC Policy

Each air traffic controller must abide by the following regulations:

• All member controllers of VATJO must be members of the VATSIM network.
• All VATJO controllers will be familiarized with procedures in OJAC. The amount of time needed will vary per controller.
• Controllers are allowed only one active connection at a time.
• No controller shall refuse service to any aircraft for any reason unless that aircraft is in violation of the VATSIM Code of Conduct.
• If possible, controllers should display expected time online in the ATIS.
• ATC stations, regardless of online time, must notify all aircraft and nearby ATC stations of their intent to disconnect 10 minutes prior to disconnecting. VATJO controllers will continue to handle aircraft accordingly, informing other ATC positions of handoffs.
• ATC stations are to be manned at all times. If an emergency arises, and the controller expects to be away from position for (up to) 5 minutes, a message is to be sent to all ATC positions and aircraft on frequency. For any duration above five minutes, controllers are to send an emergency broadcast informing of the disconnect and leave the position 1 (one) minute after informing all ATC stations and aircraft.
• All flights will be handled with respect and courtesy.
• All transmissions are to be carried out in English whenever possible. Arabic transmissions are to be translated into English if circumstances dictate all other aircraft in the area be aware of the said aircraft.
