Aaron Schpitzer 1174936 Posted January 2, 2012 at 03:31 PM Posted January 2, 2012 at 03:31 PM I was reading the docomeentation for euroscope and I don't understand what the guest line does. I understand it isn't required, but it may be the solution to a problem with handoffs. CTR is obviously supposed to handoff arrivalls to APP, but euroscope is handing them off to departure instead. From what I've read, if I add the line "GUEST:CYYZ_DEP:*:CYYZ" into approaches sector, then if an aircraft is in departures airspace, but going to CYYZ, then it will be approaches aircraft. I'm not to sure, the docomeentation is confusing in that part, can anybody confirm that this is correct.

Johan Grauers Posted January 5, 2012 at 04:19 PM Posted January 5, 2012 at 04:19 PM The guest line, as Iv'e understood it, allows a "guest" to borrow your airspace without euroscope marking the tags as concerned (I belive it is). Let me try and explain it with an example. The Stockolm TMA is divided into several sectors, let's pretend we are on as APP W, we also have ESSA DEP online. If we did not have the guest line all departures going through our airspace being tracked by departure would turn orange (which is the colour used when someone else is tracking a flight in your airspace). This means that departure is borrowing our airspace (which is why the guest-line is there). Since DEP does not have any it's own airspace the guest line allows the system to understand what we're doing without starting to flash it's electronic alerts at us saying the flight is on the wrong frequency. My attempt at an explanation, perhaps it helped somewhat anyway... Johan Grauers Event Coordinator - vACC Scandinavia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Schpitzer 1174936 Posted January 16, 2012 at 01:23 AM Author Posted January 16, 2012 at 01:23 AM So how would I format that? When CYYZ_DEP, APP and CTR are online, CTR is supposed to handoff airriving aircraft obviously to APP. The aircraft however I guess go through DEP airspace a little bit or are above APP's when the handoff is initiated. So I would add the guest line into APP or DEP sector? I understand the format I think, just not sure in which one to put it. Thanks for the explanation, it confirmed that I understand the function right. 1174936, S3/P1 CZYZ FE CZUL, ZNY, ZOB, ZBW Visitor Canforce CEO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergely Csernak Posted January 21, 2012 at 09:34 AM Posted January 21, 2012 at 09:34 AM Hi, The GUEST keyword works just as written in the WIKI: "When an aircraft is flying in this sector and its current owner is the controller defined in this [GUEST] line and the departure and the destination airport match the flight plan then the sector owner will be the current controller." So if a plane is in a sector with a GUEST defined and the guest controller is trucking it then ES keeps it as the plane were inside any of the sectors of the guest controller. Gergely.

Aaron Schpitzer 1174936 Posted January 23, 2012 at 04:04 PM Author Posted January 23, 2012 at 04:04 PM Ah, that clears it up, I played around with the lines and got the handoffs to work properly now, thanks for the help 1174936, S3/P1 CZYZ FE CZUL, ZNY, ZOB, ZBW Visitor Canforce CEO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
