# EHAM v0.4
|
|
This is a file to add EHAM (Amsterdam Schiphol Airport) to the [Endless ATC](https://steamcommunity.com/app/666610) game.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
### Implemented
|
|
* Arrivals and departures at EHAM
|
|
* (Semi-)Realistic arrival- and departure paths
|
|
* Realistic airspace
|
|
* Secondary airports: EHRD
|
|
* Multiple runway configurations (currently 6)
|
|
* Realistic airline schedules. The variety of airlines is quite limited at this time.
|
|
### Planned
|
|
* Additional runway configurations
|
|
* Add EHLE secondary
|
|
* Add ARTIP1X transition
|
|
* Potentially add night transitions
|
|
|
|
## Basic operations
|
|
### Departures
|
|
### EHAM
|
|
Each departure will follow a realistic SID from the departure runways.
|
|
Departures are generally cleared to climb to FL130 after initial contact to approach.
|
|
When arrivals need to be vectored overhead the airport or away from the standard vectors, departing aircraft are kept at FL60 until clear of the conflict.
|
|
|
|
### EHRD
|
|
Departures in real life are coordinated with EHAM APP before being released.
|
|
Departures towards the south, west and south-east can usually be cleared to FL60 and then to FL130 when clear of EHAM arrivals to RIVER.
|
|
Departures towards the north should be cleared to climb to FL130 when clear of the potential arriving traffic 36R.
|
|
|
|
### Arrivals
|
|
### EHAM
|
|
Arrivals to EHAM arrive to the TMA through 3 main entry points:
|
|
* SUGOL (from the west)
|
|
* ARTIP (fron the (north)east)
|
|
* RIVER (from the south)
|
|
|
|
All arrivals are routed to SPL after the entry point in the standard vectors.
|
|
As such the arrivals from SUGOL and ARTIP are routed to SPL in the sim, arrivals from the south are initially routed to RIVER.
|
|
In real life these arrivals would be with Amsterdam Radar still as the EHRD TMA it flies over only goes up to FL55.
|
|
Arrivals via RIVER should be directed to SPL after RIVER for standard vectors.
|
|
A basic guide for vectoring including a diagram is included at the [IVAO Netherlands website](https://nl.ivao.aero/atc/vectors).
|
|
|
|
The following are basic vectoring guidelines
|
|
|
|
### South Configuration (config 1)
|
|
Aircraft are routed to SPL and descended to FL40 (Transition level based on Endless ATC parameters).
|
|
When aircraft are cleared for the initial descend timely, departures should have no problem climbing over.
|
|
Be specifically mindful of departures to IDRID or BERGI.
|
|
Then aircraft are vectored on a righthand downwind for ILS18R or lefthand downwind for ILS18C.
|
|
Aircraft landing 18R are descended to 3000ft on downwind, then 2000 ft on the base turn.
|
|
Aircraft landing 18C are descended to 3000ft on downwind and remain at 3000ft on base and until intercepted.
|
|
Ensure that the downwind leaves sufficient room for the base turn.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, aircraft from RIVER can be given heading 020 and aircraft from SUGOL and ARTIP are flown direct towards SPY (Spijkerboor).
|
|
Then the aircraft are descended to 2000ft and 3000ft for RWY 18R and 18C respectively.
|
|
This is useful at low traffic amounts, but as traffic gets higher, the extra track miles help with separation.
|
|
|
|
### North Configuration (config 2)
|
|
Aircraft from SUGOL are vectored for runway 06 and aircraft from ARTIP for runway 36R.
|
|
Aircraft from RIVER can be vectored to either runway 06 or runway 36R depending on other traffic.
|
|
|
|
Aircraft from SUGOL are directed to SPL and down to FL40, then turned downwind heading 240.
|
|
Then descended to 3000ft on the downwind and to 2000ft on the base turn.
|
|
|
|
Aircraft from ARTIP are directed to PAM descending to FL40 and leave PAM heading 205.
|
|
Then the aircraft is descended to 3000ft on the heading of 205 and descended to 2000ft on the base turn.
|
|
|
|
Aircraft from RIVER are either vectored for a straight in ILS06 and controlled by speed to merge with traffic from SUGOL.
|
|
Aircraft from RIVER to RWY36R are put on a heading of 060 and descended to FL040, be mindful of departures from EHRD.
|
|
Then the aircraft are merged with traffic from ARTIP based on speed and intercept distance.
|
|
|
|
### Configurations 3/4
|
|
Additional configurations based on visibility conditions being below minima for parallel landing.
|
|
Aircraft from SUGOL are vectored to runway 18R, from ARTIP to runway 22/27 and from RIVER to either runway depending on traffic.
|
|
Traffic from RIVER to runway 22/27 are flown to SPL at FL70 and then descended once overhead the airport.
|
|
This could have a conflict with departing traffic from runway 24, as such be mindful when clearing departures higher than FL60.
|
|
|
|
### Configurations 5/6
|
|
Alternative North Combinations.
|
|
In configuration 5 traffic from SUGOL goes to runway 36C, from ARTIP to runway 36R as per config 2 and traffic from RIVER to either depending on traffic.
|
|
Note that the intercept height for runway 36C is 3000ft and that the downwind from SUGOL is turned just outside of the CTR.
|
|
|
|
In configuration 6 traffic from ARTIP is going to runway 27, from SUGOL to 06 and traffic from RIVER to either runway depending on traffic.
|
|
Traffic for runway 27 from RIVER leaves RIVER heading 060 for a left-hand traffic pattern.
|
|
|
|
### EHRD
|
|
Arriving traffic from EHRD will arrive from all four cardinal directions.
|
|
Arrivals from the north and east are routed to PAM, from the west to STD and from the south directly to ROT.
|
|
Arrivals are then routed to ROT and flown either a right-hand circuit for runway 06 or left-hand circuit for runway 24.
|
|
Aircraft arriving from PAM towards runway 24 are usually vectored straight in, likewise for west and south arrivals for runway 06.
|
|
Traffic arriving from the south might require an orbit to lose additional altitude due to EndlessATC limitation on entering altitudes.
