To avoid pilot/ATC misunderstandings see the [[ATC_best_practices#Minimum_list_of_best_practices|minimum list of best practices]]. Remember that this is a military American air base and not a civilian airport, with different rules and procedures so don't simulate an emergency or found an excuse to land/take-off from Aviano only because it is the only one controlled in that moment, especially for airliners (e.g. (and these ones all happened to me) terrorists on board, engine failure, passenger with cardiac arrest, President on board, very top secret mission, ...).

== Festival of FlightGear 7 & 8 November 2015 ==
ATC services are going to be provided in both days (mostly on Saturday) including voice guidance with Mumble from about 14:30 to 16:00, from 16:45 to 17:30 and from 18:15 to 22:15 on Saturday; from 13:00 to 15:15 and from 16:00 to 17:30 on Sunday (all times are UTC). Note that these are times and may change a lot before the event, maybe also during the event itself. It is also planned to let land a little number of airliners from the other controlled airports of the area, which must advise in time by planning a flightplan to LIPA on the FlightGear ATC website.
It's possible that the custom-scenery could be available by the event with some objects included.
More to come.
