Hi all,
This should serve as a reference for all those who wish to fly to/from Singapore during the festival.
When you’re flying in the Singapore airspace, please keep the following recommendations in mind:

Both VFR and IFR flights are welcome.
Don't spawn on a runway while connected to MP. Either launch at a parking position or connect to MP only after you have taxied to a gate/stand.
Contact ATC with aircraft type and gate/stand when asking for clearance.

When you’re flying in the Singapore airspace, please keep the following recommendations in mind:
- Only accept what you can perform. If you are assigned a SID, procedure, or clearance that you don’t understand or don’t know you can do, speak up. It’s much easier for the controllers to give alternative instructions before a mistake is made. We would rather provide headings and altitudes than have a pilot accidentally turn the wrong way or overfly a noise sensitive area.
- Don’t hesitate to ask questions. If you are unclear about an instruction or just want more information, ask.
- Don’t pause or leave the flight deck without asking for permission first.
- Have updated navigation capability, if you can. Controllers expect you to have the latest capability.
- Ensure you have appropriate charts, and know how to interpret them. If you aren’t sure about something you see on a chart, ask.
- Check out the Pilot References section to find preferred routes, scenery etc
- Listen for frequency changes. If instructed to “monitor” the next controller, change to the new frequency but wait for the controller to call you. Only call in to a new frequency when you have been instructed to “contact”.
- Go direct when cleared “direct”. If ATC instructs you to “proceed direct” to a waypoint, the controller expects you to proceed from your current position directly to the new waypoint. If you aren’t able to go direct and instead need to turn back to the “magenta line” on your GPS, make this request with the controller
