Introduction

IVAO HAL Training Tool Manual for IVAO Trainers.

Non-training staff and regular staff are not supposed to know anything about trainer commands.
This article is written with Aurora version 1.1.75b.
For IvAc 1 HAL usage please read : http://forum.ivao.aero/index.php?topic=251443.0

Connection to the server

Open ATC Client and load the sector file. On the menu bar, click on "Connect" to open the following window :

Tick "connect to TRAINING SERVER".

If you experience any issue, please post on the staff Discord channel #hal-server or e-mail to devops@ivao.aero

On the menu bar, open the "ATC" window :

Open the "EXAM TRAINING" module :

1. Click on HAL to open the HAL Menu
   
2. Enter the HAL password
   
3. Click on LOGIN
   

Only Training HQ, Div HQ/TC/TAC/TAx have access to the HAL training module.
If you do not see this menu and you think it is not normal, please e-mail devops@ivao.aero

The HAL password is given by HTM/HTAM to Div HQ/TC/TAC who are responsible for HAL usage in their divisions.
To obtain your HAL password, please contact hal@ivao.aero

You should now be connected as a trainer with this message : You are a trainer now, Dave.

Tips : if you don't have a large screen and you don't need the Training/Exam box (left part), then click on the"Info" button to hide it.
You can then hide the comments part by re-sizing the box by moving the bottom right corner.

Aircraft creation

Quick creation tool

At the bottom of the HAL tool you can find a quick aircraft creation tool.

Check on the left the items you want (Distance is required, set 1 as example). Click on "ADD TRAFFIC" to spawn it.

Command line

If you have your own command lines to spawn aircraft, you can open COM Box from the Menu Bar and type :

.chat HAL2000

Then type your commands as you used to do with IvAc.

Aircraft in-flight commands

Command lines

All commands used in IvAc 1 can still be used with Aurora.
Commands are listed here:
