PANC Anchorage Intl ATC simulator

Work Anchorage Tower 118.3 and Ground 121.9 at Anchorage Intl (PANC), Anchorage, Alaska. The layout is digitized from the FAA airport diagram; airline traffic taxis, pushes, takes off and lands while AI pilots read back your clearances by voice.

Layout notes

Ted Stevens Anchorage International (PANC), Class C, a major trans-Pacific cargo hub, from the FAA airport diagram AL-1500 (cycle 2611). Runways: 7R/25L (12,400 x 200), 7L/25R (10,600 x 150) — parallel east-west — and 15/33 (10,865 x 200) north of them; the 33 end sits just north of taxiway K. Taxiway K is the north parallel of 7L/25R from J (west end) to A (25R end). Connectors: J onto 7R (west of the 7L threshold); H crosses 7L (H7LN/H7LS) and 7R (H7RN/H7RS) at the 7L end; R crosses 7L and 7R (R7LN/R7LS, R7RN/R7RS) to Z/Z1 and the FBOs; E crosses both (E7LN/E7LS, E7RN/E7RS); D crosses 7L and joins 7R; C crosses 7L and joins 7R at the 25L end; B onto 7L; A at the 25R end. Along 15/33: Y is the west parallel, R the east parallel; Q at the 15 end; S, T, U and M cross 15/33 (SW/SE, TW/TE, UW/UE, MW/ME); W and L join it; Y joins at the 33 end. V runs from R to the North Terminal; E runs along the terminals to K; G1/G connects V to K (hot spot HS1). HS2 is the R/G/E area south of 7L/7R. Typical east flow: land 7L/7R, depart 7R and 33. Anchorage Tower 118.3, Ground 121.9, Clearance 119.4, D-ATIS 135.5.

Parking and ramps

45 parking positions across 9 ramps: North cargo ramp (Sierra), North cargo ramp (Tango), North cargo ramp (Uniform), North cargo ramp (Papa), North Terminal, South Terminal, West FBO ramp (Zulu One), East FBO ramp (Echo), East ramp (Kilo).

Frequencies in the simulator

What you practice here

• Taxi clearances with routes and hold-short instructions, and runway crossings.
• Pushback approvals, IFR clearances (PDC) and departure sequencing.
• Line up and wait, takeoff and landing clearances, and go-arounds.
• Readback correction: pilots sometimes get it wrong, and you have to catch it.
