Tonga and Niue
This is a work in progress!
This page is currently being worked on by the team. It'll be here soon! If you want to help out, have a look how you can help! For the meantime, you should apply the comments made here in line with the skills taught in the VATNZ Controller Training Syllabus.

TMA
- NFTF_APP "Fua'Amotu Tower" on 118.500
- Limits: There are three layers to NFTF_APP's area of responsibility:
- A circle 23nm in diameter, centered on TBU VOR from SFC to 3,500ft.
- A circle 75nm in diameter, centered on TBU VOR from 3,500ft to 9,500ft.
- A circle 100nm in diameter, centered on TBH VOR from 9,500ft to 19,500ft.
- Fua'Amotu would hand aircraft off to NZZO_FSS upon crossing the boundary.
- Limits: There are three layers to NFTF_APP's area of responsibility:
Why is their callsign Tower, not Approach?
We've had to implement this position with a _APP suffix, as the FSD restricts _TWR callsigns to a visibility range of 50nm.
Towers
None! NFTF_TWR is covered by NFTF_APP.
AFIS
- NFTL_FIS: "Lifuka Radio" on 118.100.
- NFTV_FIS: "Vava'u Flight Service" on 118.100
- This aerodrome weirdly has a Ground service on 121.900, but only an AFIS over top.
Warning
These are not yet modelled on the network.
Niue
Niue only has a Flight Information Service, providing only traffic information. This will be modelled as NIUE_TWR, with a standard Tower visibility range of 50nm. The Tower is to provide a traffic information service, in addition to relaying IFR clearances from NZZO_FSS.
Departing
Departing aircraft should make contact with NZZO_FSS upon passing 20DME from NU. If unable to gain contact, they are to remain with NIUE_TWR until they have positive contact.
Arriving
Arriving aircraft will be given clearance to leave Controlled Airspace on descent through FL245, however should maintain a listening watch on NZZO_FSS. Aircraft should attempt to make contact with NIUE_TWR around 40 DME, and shall report that positive contact to NZZO_FSS before dropping that frequency. NIUE_TWR will report your landing back to NZZO_FSS in order to close your flightplan.
