Currently we have two (2) types of controlled airspace in the game.
Deois
Deois has what is very similar to an Enhanced Class B airspace (37km laterally and 5.5km vertically) with a procedural area (where the menus start appearing) at 55.5km and 18.25km respectively.
Speed limit is 125 m/s IAS. Air Traffic Control cannot clear you to go faster.
Choosing Approach or Departure
Choose the controller according to where your flight is going, not simply whether you are taking off or landing.
- Approach Clearance: Use Deois Approach when your destination is inside Deois controlled airspace. This includes a flight whose origin and destination are both inside the airspace, such as flying from an east colony pad to a west colony pad or a district landing zone. Select the appropriate local destination when asked for your intentions.
- Departure Clearance: Use Deois Departure when leaving Deois controlled airspace. The EAST and WEST departure choices describe the direction in which you intend to leave the terminal area; they are not the choices for a local flight between Deois landing sites.
- Transition Clearance: This is intended for a flight passing through Deois controlled airspace with both its origin and destination outside the airspace. It is not intended for a local flight or for departing from a Deois landing site. As of October 24, 2026, this menu option is displayed but is not implemented. Selecting it does not obtain a clearance to enter the airspace.
Local flights still need takeoff or dustoff clearance. When starting on the ground in controlled airspace, contact the appropriate controller, state your destination, and wait for explicit takeoff or dustoff clearance before lifting off. Selecting Approach, making initial radio contact, or hearing "radar contact" is not a takeoff clearance.
If you selected Departure but intend to land somewhere else inside Deois airspace, use Flight Options > Change Destination and select the local landing destination. ATC can then handle the flight with Approach. Follow the new instructions and acknowledge them.
Personnel
Shifts lengths can be up to 10 hours. Controllers must not work more than 6 consecutive days.
- Veena Russell - SATCS (retired)
- Swathi Patel - SATCS (active)
- James Garrett - SATCS (retiring October 3!)
- Lee Bush - ATCS (starting October 4!)

Docks
The docks have what is similar to a Class C airspace except that it is a sphere around the facility with a 20km procedural zone and a 18.5km perimeter.
