Definition of airspace

Area delimited by three arcs of circle of 80 NM radius centred on VOR / DME CVS (164412.03N 0225703.67W), VOR / DME SNT (145620.74N 0232855.64W) and NDB SVT (164944.96N 0250352.65W) and the external tangents joining these arcs.

Airports within the TMA

  • GVAC
  • [GVBA]
  • GVNP
  • [GVSV]
  • GVSN
  • GVMA
  • GVSF

GVSV_TWR

Whilst "GVSC_APP" Covers the Approach positions for GVAC, GVBA and GVNP, GVSV is slightly different,

GVSV_TWR acts as the final approach position for GVSV and as such they should be simulated this way on VATSIM, the control up to FL105 and control an airspace of 25NM centres around the ARP

whilst they act at APP they should still have the ATS callsign of "San Vincente Tower" on the same frequency of 118.400 MHz and The controller maning the station should not extend their range past 50 NM's allowed by VATSIM 1 2
