1B.2 Violation Reasons #
1B.2.1 #
Some of the possible scenarios that could result in a Violation being issued are listed below:
- Not following procedures broadcast on ATIS or in a published TFR/NOTAM
- Pushback/taxiing without clearance
- Crashing/taxiing into other aircraft/buildings/objects*
- Taking-off/landing from a taxiway or grass
- Entering the runway without clearance
- Taking-off/landing without clearance
- Not following the issued sequence
- Not following the cleared altitude/heading/speed
- Pilots who do not respond to an instruction after 2-3 attempts**
- Pilots sending duplicate messages or unnecessary requests
- Spamming a frequency
- Repeated disruption
- Insulting or inappropriate call-signs/usernames or flight path/plan(s)
- Call-signs/usernames with profanity or discriminating/racist terms
- Excessive speed in the airport environment***
*Rendering issues may mean that aircraft did not see the other aircraft/buildings/objects, care should be taken to ensure that violations are only issued for aircraft that have blatantly done it on purpose
**Aircraft descending via VNAV may be issued a violation after a warning if they are unresponsive AND conflict with others
***Speed which results in rapid closure with other aircraft, loss of separation, or airspace disruption may be deemed “excessive”. Good judgment must{.red} be used
Fighter aircraft must not{.red} exceed 350KIAS when below 10,000ft and under ATC control, however pilots are expected to maintain a reasonable speed in the vicinity of other aircraft or when instructed to slow down by Controllers. Reporting for excessive speed can be issued when a lack of etiquette is shown. Standard speed restrictions for commercial aircraft also apply to military cargo aircraft (i.e. maximum 250 KIAS when below 10,000ft and under ATC control)
1B.2.2 #
A full list of the in-app options that can be selected for each position are listed below (including the Violation Level that the pilot will receive); however, it is important to note that Controllers must not{.red} pick a reason in order to decide if the pilot gets a Level 2 or Level 3 Violation. Each Violation is specifically paired with a Level, therefore Controllers must{.red} pick the correct reason and allow the system to automatically decide what Level Violation is issued:
