sebastian gosch Posted October 20, 2013 at 07:43 AM Posted October 20, 2013 at 07:43 AM Hello! whilst controlling Mumbai Radio, I figured out we only have a VABF_CTR position available. Due to the huge Area of this Control, we would need a VABF_FSS, as even with 4 vis. Points a 100%coverage of the Mumbai sector is not provided! I`d suggest to seperate the FSS from the CTR, and let the FSS do all the oceanic operations, and the CTR everything that is domestic, VABB etc. Or combine both in one FSS Cheers, Sebastian Seb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebastian gosch Posted November 17, 2013 at 03:33 PM Author Posted November 17, 2013 at 03:33 PM Tough there is no response on the initial post, I´d like to introduce a little problem within the Indian Airspace and the way it is being controlled. As you all might know, VABF is a station not able to provide radar contact to all parts of it`s actual Sector, this requires the controller to rely on position reports from the Pilots flying within that Airspace. I was quite surprised, as I was on my way to VRMM overhead KITAL-L894, and the Mumbai controller offered me a "Radar Contact". Why aren't we sticking to real life procedures here? Let's be honest, this area of Vatsim has less traffic than most of the other Places online. So why shouldn`t we try to keep it as real as it gets? You won't get overstressed on Mumbai, so there is no reason to simplify the station. What`s the attitude of the TD in India on this? Would be nice to have a short talk about this, as there are a lot of interesting procedures down there to be carried out, but the controllers will have to make use of them, otherwise the Pilots joining the Frequency will find themselves in a "boring/normal" CTR.

Mrinal Nair 1171091 Posted January 28, 2014 at 08:24 PM Posted January 28, 2014 at 08:24 PM Sorry for the late reply. But as you would probably know, there's an oceanic endorsement on VATSIM. Any controller wishing to control oceanic must have an oceanic endorsement. As well, we would need an approval form the BoG to set up an FSS, and an FSS for such a small area of airspace, is impractical. Now coming to the topic of simulating Radio Control over the oceanic airspace, it is possible, and can be discussed. As of now, our controllers are not trained to simulate oceanic procedures. But owing to the fact that it adds realism, it is being discussed in the vACC India as of now. Mrinal Nair/CTR+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sachin Gnath Posted July 3, 2016 at 07:11 AM Posted July 3, 2016 at 07:11 AM Sorry to Dig up an old thread Sebastian & Mrinal we have now splitted VABF FIR into three CTR'S (VAAH_CTR, VABB_CTR & VANP_CTR). We have also added VABX_CTR which is the Mumbai Radio. More information can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=124&t=71552 Cheers, Regards, S G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
