vACC Lithuania local limitations

According to the real-life airspace structure of Vilnius FIR, there are no Ground ATC positions available, therefore:

Tower positions are divided into two types:
- Not Providing Radar Service;
- Providing Radar Service.

Thus, according to VATSIM GRP, to provide Air Traffic Service on the position of Tower WITH Radar Service, the controller is obligated to hold at least a Student 3 (APP) rating.

The only Tower position that is not providing Radar Service is Vilnius Tower (EYVI_TWR), a controller providing service on this position shall hold at least a Student 2 (TWR) rating.

Further information on complying with this limitation is described in the vACC Constitution
