# Aerodromes with IFR procedures ### Introduction IFR IFR traffic is permitted at uncontrolled aerodromes within vACC Germany if aerodromes have published IFR approach procedures and a Radio Mandatory Zone (RMZ) has been added to airspace G around the aerodrome. A map of all uncontrolled airfields with IFR traffic can be found here. IFR traffic is conducted in English only, so please make sure that you are able to communicate in English when controlling such airfields. IFR arrivals and departures require increased attention in the vicinity of the airfields, which is why so-called Radio Mandatory Zones (RMZ) have been introduced at airfields with IFR traffic. These are airspace class G and therefore uncontrolled. The AIP for Germany stipulates that aircraft intending to fly into an RMZ must make an initial call on the published frequency to declare their intentions. In our example, the published frequency of "Schwäbisch Hall Information" needs to be used and the following content transmitted: - Identification of the called station - Callsign and aircraft type - Location, altitude and flight intentions.
