Abu Dhabi Tanga Arrival
 

Hello, any ATC could please tell me about the "new" Tanga arrival? Coming into AUH while doing the normal arrival (which was also depicted on the flightplan) was told that I should not be following that and instead to route DCT ADV. He mentioned there was a new procedure (?) Maybe I missed the NOTAM but could anyone please explain any further? Thanks.

Dunno but sounds like pants to me. Do you have to brief for it?

The 'new' arrivals were published July last year.

I have to say I'm amazed that the word 'Tanga' can be used so openly in country with a strict moral code.

You can mention it..just keep it brief.

Tanga Arrival????
 

Sorry mate , u asking the wrong people (ATC). All those new arrivals were paid for and designed by Etihad. Maybe they can explain. Ooooops sorry, they wont explain, cos most of them come from Boxak, Nobto and Rovos. The few who come thru there, don't have a clue in any case, cos they put the autopilot in charge, until they get radar vectors.
