Nick Marinov Posted April 7, 2021 at 02:04 PM Posted April 7, 2021 at 02:04 PM Hi Gergo, If no ATC is online, you would just depart without a clearance and follow a SID for your filed route. Once you get to pushing back, you need to go to UNICOM 122.800 and announce your intentions and movements and coordinate with other traffic around you. Hope this helps! 😄 NICK MARINOVAssistant to the Vice President Europe, Middle East and Africa Supervisor Team Leader  [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the fast answer! I meant, that there is tower and ground control to. But there is no clearance frequency active. Then should i request IFR clearance on ground frequency?

This means that when a controller is not online, the next one takes over their responsibilities. The topdown order is DEL->GND->TWR->APP->CTR. So if DEL is not online, you go to GND. If GND is not online, you go to TWR etc. 1 NICK MARINOVAssistant to the Vice President Europe, Middle East and Africa Supervisor Team Leader  [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
