Paderborn/Lippstadt’s airspace and general traffic levels make the airport **very friendly to VFR traffic** in the real world. As this is similar on VATSIM, controllers will usually be able to accommodate VFR requests. However, the limited amount of space at Paderborn/Lippstadt can result in situations where some VFR requests might be denied during periods of high traffic. ### Airspace Structure ##### CTR The Paderborn/Lippstadt CTR has a **top altitude of 2500 ft MSL, about 1800 ft AGL**.

##### TMZ The Paderborn/Lippstadt TMA is class E with a transponder mandatory zone reaching up to FL60. All VFR aircraft inside the TMZ have to **squawk 6102** and **monitor 125.225**.Even when no dedicated controller is covering 125.225, **you still have to set the squawk and monitor the frequency**. During top down service at Paderborn/Lippstadt, **most controllers will use 125.225 as a secondary frequency** and even if they don't, they can quickly activate it if they need to speak to you.
