Sequence of arrivals

Hi guys! Hope you’re doing well.

I now play the game since quite some time, but I haven’t still figured it out in which sequence the “right bar” in “Airplanes in Airport”. Is it completely random? I find it funny, sometimes I have the feeling the latest arrival gets straight to the top sometimes to the bottom.

I am using the tower in LHR but without “arrival sequence” so they land chronicologically (don’t know if it actally works that way, but would make sense for me). I like to only use 90-120 staff at the time, otherwise, I always have this feeling LHR is so empty. because of that I always have quite a few “Airplanes in Airport” that I would prefer to handle it chronicologically.

Thanks in advance for an answer :slight_smile:

Hi @ZurichAirways and congrats on your first post! :partying_face:

The usual behavior consists in the planes being ordered by their arrival sequence to your airport. Let me put an example:

  • A388 arrival in 30m
  • A35K arrival in 1h
  • A21NY arrival in 1h30m

In this case, after 30m, you will see an A388 at the right bar of arrivals, then the next plane to come after another 30m will be A35K, that will position above the A388 card, and finally A21NY will arrive 30m after the A35K, and will also position above all mentioned aircraft.

NOTE:
If you confirm stands for the planes pending to land, and get out of the airport, when you come back, the order might be completely inverted. This is noticeable if you use landing ATC.

I hope you find this information useful and wish you a nice day! :purple_heart:

Hi @Matejake

Thank you very much. Your answer helped a lot. :raising_hands:

So if I understand it right, it actually works like I thought it worked, but because I’m using Landing ATC that must be the reason my Aircraft get randomly put in the “Airport Aircraft” sequence.

You too, have a rest of a good day/evening :innocent:
