December 30, 2017

INTRODUCTION Dear IVAO Member!

We would like to welcome you to the Slovenian IVAO IFR Tour 2018. With 15

interesting legs, you will get to know Slovenia and neighboring airports.

In this document, we would like to introduce you this tour and rules that you need to

follow to successfully finish all legs. The main goal is that pilots have fun and enjoy

the Slovenian and neighboring countries landscape flying IFR – using Instrument

Flight Rules. The other goal is to increase popularity of IFR traffic in this region and to

increase overall traffic so that not only pilots can enjoy the IVAO network but also the

Air Traffic Control that is available for all traffic. With this tour we would also like to

refresh knowledge or to teach pilots how to correctly plan a IFR route, how to fill a

Flight Plan and how to navigate along the IFR preplanned route.

I hope that you will enjoy reading this document and flying Slovenian IFR Tour 2018.

Completing this tour, you will achieve Division IFR Tour Award.

Kind regards,

Klemen Kaltnekar IVAO Slovenia Director

3. ADVICES

3.1 HOW TO CORRECTLY PLAN A IFR FLIGHT

TRY TO LEARN NEW SKILLS WHILE FLYING IVAO SLOVENIA IFR TOUR

To successfully complete any journey in a lifetime you have to start prepared. The main thing is to preplan your

route of each flight. Before that, you have to check out for current and forecasted weather and check the latest

NOTAMs on your route. For Slovenia and airports included in this tour, an excellent free weather service is

available by the national meteorological agency.

National Meteorological Service of Slovenia (Click Print, to get all METARs and TAFs from the map)

Also, aviation wind, GAFOR and SIGMET charts are available.

Free login for AIPs in Europe and more as well as for NOTAMs is available via Eurocontrol EAD.

Also looking in AIPs, free charts are available for each airport and country’s airspace.

When you are fully aware of the meteo and navigational situation, you can start planning your IFR route. For

things to be easier, examples are provided for each leg. On how to prepare for your flight, there is a nice

tutorial form the IVAO in document General Aviation Flight Operations..

When you know where you will be flying you should check altitudes that you need to overfly the obstacles and

when you have that, you should check which kind of airspaces you will cross. Note that airspaces classified G, F,

E are uncontrolled, while D, C, B are controlled.

3.2 HOW TO CORRECTLY FILL IN THE FLIGHT PLAN

Explanation of all fields of the ICAO FPL form is available in this document published by the EuroFPL. While

IVAO explained very well on how to fill in a IVAO FPL in a training document Flightplan Understanding by the

IVAO.

Below is an example of correctly filled IVAO FPL for leg on. Note this is a short version while on the next page is

a screenshot of an IVAO form.

Filled Flight Plan in a form:

The same Flight plan as above in a message:

(FPL-S5DME-IG

-C172/L-SDF/S

-LJLJ1400

-N0115F090 VALLU

-LJMB0030

-DOF/160217 REG/S5DME RMK/TRAINING FLIGHT)

Pay special attention to:

I. I is for IFR flight and G stands for General Aviation flight. II. Check for correct aircraft type and check for your equipment in the cockpit (tick only what you have),

usually new aircraft have Mode S transponder and that is the last letter in second row. III. Aerodrome of departure and time in UTC. IV. N is speed in TAS (in cockpit you see IAS which you need to convert to TAS according to your expected

enroute altitude) while F is the filled level which expect enroute. Note that you need to use semi circular level which are 2000 / 4000 / 6000… to the west (180-359 deg) and 3000 / 5000 / 7000… for the east (000-179 deg).

V. Destination is in fifth line with estimated time enroute from the departure aerodrome. VI. The last row is remark filed, where you can fill in the Date Of Flight, Registration, Estimated Elapsed

Time when entering new FIR, Remarks.

3.3. IFR PHRASEOLOGY

Phraseology is the way to communicate between the pilot and air traffic controller (ATC unit) for the purpose

of ensuring uniformity in RTF communications.

How to communicate while flying IFR is written in a training document IFR Phraseology by IVAO.

Note that for a IFR flight it is mandatory to establish two-way radio communication at all times!

5. RESOURCES

5.1. SCENERIES On Slovenia scenery website, we have some recommended updates, that are made for the whole world or

Europe or Slovenia.

If you do not have any payware installed, I suggest that you check a free and very detailed (LOD10) mesh for

the whole world that is available from FreeMesh X Global. With this addon, you get nicely shaped landscape

around the world or you can just install the European continent.

Hervé Sors makes monthly updates to the navaids and waypoints with updates to the magnetic variation

included.

FS Real Time updates time zones and correct DST movement.

5.1.1. SLOVE NIA

creating FS sceneries, some great add-ons were made and are updated when knowledge improves.

Sceneries are available on IVAO

prepare 3D and FS9/FSX are

supported although not for all

airports.

5.2. AIP AND CHARTS

Charts and the information from the Aeronautical Information Publication are a big help to pilots before flying

and also during the flight. Here will be listed the charts and information that you have to check and read before

flight.

For this, as suggested, you should create your EAD account for free access to all AIPs from the Europe region

and further. Unfortunately, not all ANS providers have Electronic AIP available, that is why you have to access

to them via EAD login. Check Eurocontrol website to see, which country has eAIP and which one has only one

published and accessed via free EAD Account.

In every AIP you find enroute charts in Part 2 - ENR chapter 6, while aerodrome charts are in Part 3 - AD

chapter 2 inside every subchapter of the relevant airport - charts are at the end of each aerodrome chapter.

5.2.1. SLOVE NIA

Always current eAIP Slovenia is available via Slovenia Control website. On IVAO Slovenia website we have links

to the appropriate chapters.

Ljubljana Airport charts are in chapter LJLJ AD 2.24.

The same goes for other airports, for IFR flight you should check Aerodrome layout and Standard instrument

departure and arrival charts for your correct arrival and departure.
