Our Training Airfields

1. Caucasus (free to play Map)

1.3. Kutaisi Taxiways

  • During clearance, the runway to be used is announced.
    The announcement is made in the form of the runway number, which is derived from the magnetic departure direction as a two-digit number of ten (080° -> 08).
    In reality and also on some DCS multiplayer servers with human ATC, the exact taxi path to the runway is also given with the taxi clearance.

    Example:

    • Our training airfield Kutaisi:
      Rollweg Kutaisi, Bild von kaltokri, Gemeinfrei
    • Take-off position announced by ATC: 08.
    • Check: Where do I have to hold to take off in direction 080?
    • Which taxiways were explicitly given, or can I find my own way?

    Usually you taxi parallel to the runway in the opposite direction until you reach the correct taxi hold at the end of the runway.
