1 PILOT BRIEFING GENEVA RFE 2018

2 Introduction The aim of this pilot briefing for the RFE is to inform pilots about local procedures and to prepare them for a lot of traffic. To be able to achieve a good traffic flow, we need to count on your full cooperation. If you have any questions about this briefing, don t hesitate to ask on the forum (ch.forum.ivao.aero) or send a mail to ch-ec@ivao.aero. General Rules Radio Communication When changing to another frequency, wait at least for 5 seconds to be sure you don t interrupt any readback. Don t interrupt any transmission. If this happens, the controller will indicate which station shall communicate first. Keep your communications as clear and as short as possible. You may be instructed to monitor or standby a frequency. Switch to this frequency and don t say anything until the controllers calls you. Do we speak french in Geneva? French may be used as long as the pilot and the controller are able to communicate in French. To avoid unnecessary transmissions check the atis for the remark ENGLISH ONLY

3 Pilots Comply with ATC instructions, unless the safety of your aircraft is compromised. Execute ATC instructions as soon as possible after the readback. Listen well to transmissions from controllers, any SAY AGAIN will last in a delay of instructions. Be sure to know your aircraft and be able to fly it! If instructed to turn, turn immediately and readback (text or voice) once you have initiated the turn. To ensure an efficient transfer to the next frequency, make sure to know and prepare the next frequency you have to contact on your radio. The runway is vacate if you are BEHIND the holdingpoint.

6 Departing traffic Times The time stated in the booking system represents the ESTIMATED OFF BLOCK TIME (EOBT). This must be stated in the flightplan under departure time. This is the time when the PUSHBACK or START UP is expected to happen. A tolerance window of +/- 5 minutes has to be respected. Please note that all times are in UTC, including in the booking system! UTC=LOCAL TIME 2 HOURS (Example: UTC: 10:00 = LOCAL TIME: 12:00) Connecting to the network It is essential that you connect yourself at least 20 minutes before your EOBT at your assigned gate. Do NOT contact DELIVERY for clearance earlier then 10 minutes before your EOBT. Inform the ATC as soon as possible if you are not able to comply with you EOBT. Expect delay. Clearance On initial contact with DELIVERY, please give the following details: Callsign Aircraft Stand/Gate ATIS Information Phraseology Example: SWR69KC LSGG_DEL Geneva Delivery Bonjour, Swiss 69 Kilo Charlie, Airbus A320 at Gate A5 with information I, ready to copy the IFR clearance to Zurich Swiss 69 Kilo Charlie, Geneva Delivery Bonjour, cleared to Zurich, KONIL4 Juliett departure, Runway 23, squawk 4201, INITIAL CLIMB FL90 Please note that the INITIAL CLIMB IS ALWAYS FL90 even if DELIVERY does not mention it.

Once you ve readback your clearance, and the controller tells you readback correct, stay on DELIVERY, set your squawk, and ask for pushback/start-up only if you are ready and within your EOBT +/- 5 Minutes Pushback / Start-up Once you ve requested pushback and/or start-up, the Delivery controller will hand you over to Apron on The apron controller will then give you the clearance including facing.

7 Taxi Be sure to have the ground charts with you in order to taxi along the correct taxiways. There is a high risk of collision/mess if a wrong taxiway is used. If you are not sure which taxiways to use, ask ATC to give you progressive taxi instructions. If your performance allows, you may request intersection E or B (Remaining RWY: 2750m from E or 2600m B) for take-off. Special taxiways at Geneva are the LINK taxiways; please listen carefully to the controller when receiving taxi clearance. Below you can see these different LINKS in yellow: Line-up and Take-off For line-up and take-off clearance, contact Tower on MHz. Do only contact Tower when advised to do so by Apron and do NOT line-up or take-off without any clearance.
