Arriving Traffic
Radar – Descend
Always check the ATIS and report the current letter to Bremen Radar during your initial call. In the ATIS you will find the active landing runway and the approach type you can expect. During the initial descend Bremen Radar will assign the appropriate STARs or Transitions.
At the IAF ROBEG, NIE, CEL or SAS (DLE) you might get cleared for a transition to final depending on the traffic situation. The transitions are designed as open downwind transitions, so expect vectors to the final!
Designator P is used for runway 27L / 27R while Designator R is used for runway 09R / 09L

Arrival – Approach
When contacting Hannover Arrival report your Callsign only!
In periods of low traffic, expect shortcuts to one of the DVxxx Waypoints or radar vectors. Be prepared!
Tower – Landing
Expedite vacating the runway. Contact the ground/apron controller only when instructed to do so!
During taxi the controller might tell you to hold short of certain taxiways or give way to other aircrafts. To not cause any conflicts it is very important to follow the instructions correctly or to ask if you are unsure what to do!
