General

All content of this page is not for real world navigation and only for use on VATSIM!

The following types of operation are officially approved at Coburg:
IFR, VFR, NVFR
Aircraft (10.000 kg MPW), helicopters (5700 kg MPW), motorgliders, gliders, UL, balloon.

Coburg is an uncontrolled airport. If you are not yet familiar with AFIS procedures, we strongly recommend to inform yourself prior to flying to or from Coburg as the concept is probably quite different from what you are used to in other areas of VATSIM.

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.

IFR departures still have to contact München Radar for their enroute clearance if Coburg 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.

Sceneries

IFR Departure

Takeoff

Since Coburg 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

Coburg 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.

After takeoff contact München Radar on 129.525 (or applicable)!

IFR Arrival

STAR

There are no STARs for Coburg. All inbounds should plan a route to waypoints LASGA or LONLI, which are the initial approach fixes for the RNP approache to runway 30. Tactically the controller might also offer you a direct into the approach procedure via one of the QCxxx waypoints - you are expected to continue the procedure from this waypoint onwards if cleared for the approach.
If you did not receive an approach clearance prior reaching the IAFs LASGA or LONLI enter the respective holding.

You are restricted to maximum 250 KIAS below FL100 as you will be in airspace class E. Look out for VFR traffic!

Approach

Coburg has an RNP approach only for runway 30 and limited to aircraft performance A and B. In case runway 12 is in use, expect to perform the RNP approach runway 30 followed by visual circling to runway 12. The circling has to be performed north of the aerodrome only and is not to be confused with the traffic circuit on the same side. For more details on circling approaches, e.g on what to do on a missed approach from a circling approach, check the SKYbrary.

Landing

The AFISO will provide neither sequencing nor separation. It is your responsibility as the pilot to coordinate with other traffic on frequency. IFR has no priority over VFR.

You will not receive a landing clearance as the airport is uncontrolled. Landings are conducted at pilot's discretion.

VFR

Airspace

The Coburg RMZ extends from ground level to 1000ft AGL (ca. 2500ft MSL) and airspace E around the RMZ is lowered to 1000ft AGL. All aircraft have to announce themselves on Coburg Information when entering the RMZ, as well as when exiting it and must maintain at least listening watch for the entirety of their stay within the RMZ. VFR traffic should avoid the IFR approach and departure sectors.
Coburg has a published traffic circuit in 2400 ft MSL on the north side of the field.
