Top-down Procedures

Approach and Center stations do not provide top-down services for uncontrolled airfields in Germany but will provide coverage for IFR arrivals and departures. Identical to real life the reception of München Radar on the ground and at low altitudes is usually bad to impossible and therefore flights often depart VFR and perform an IFR pickup or cancel IFR inbound to land VFR.

IFR departures still have to contact München Radar for their enroute clearance if ~~Bautzen~~Altenburg Information is offline but an Approach or Center is covering the area top-down. ~~If voice contact is not possible please use text via private message or depart VFR.~~

IFR Departure

Takeoff

Since ~~Bautzen~~Altenburg is uncontrolled, the AFISO won't issue a takeoff clearance. Instead, takeoffs are conducted at pilot's discretion. However, you might be assigned a release window during which you have to depart (inform ATC immediately if you are unable to depart within this window). IFR departures enter controlled airspace when passing 1000 ft AGL.

Auto-handoff

~~Bautzen~~Altenburg utilizes an auto-handoff procedure for departures; the AFISO will not hand off departures to the approach controller. The current airborne frequency will always be given by the AFISO.

Report passing ~~2100~~1700 ft to ~~Bautzen~~Altenburg Information and contact München Radar on ~~125.875~~126.175 (or applicable) after departure!
