Controller Radius : Good Values

[Rackham 1]

Hello everyone!

I wanted to know if you have any values that work well for the controller radius :
- Tower
- Departure
- Approach
-Controller Name Radius

With VFR/IFR for small GA aircraft and Airliners.

Thanks for your advice :)

I normally fly with the following settings for high speed/altitude airline type flights:

Tower - 5

Departure - 10

Approach - 65

Controller name radius - 25

For short flights, you need to be sure that your Tower, Dep, and App radii don't overlap.  For example, if the flight is only 60 NM, leave Twr at 5, but reduce Departure to 10 and Approach to 20.

If flying low and very slow, you can reduce the numbers even further.

Thanks Dave!
