Frankfurt/Main’s airspace and N7amount atof differentjetliner locations.traffic Thismake enablesthe airport very unsuitable for VFR traffic in the real world. As there is a high level of traffic on VATSIM as well, controllers will often be unable to accommodate many VFR requests. Especially during events you can expect to be denied traffic circuits and might face significant delays for takeoffs, landings, and CTR crossings.
You should be prepared for the controller to optimizeinstruct you to leave the control zone if the traffic flowload inrises thisor area.you fail to comply with instructions promptly and accurately.
In the real world, most non-airline traffic will fly to Frankfurt-Egelsbach instead of Frankfurt/Main.
DifferenceAirspace between Simulator and Real WorldStructure
DueThe Frankfurt/Main CTR has a very low top altitude of 1500 ft MSL, about 1100 ft AGL. Please pay close attention to some reconstruction work atsetting the apron,correct LinkQNH and your altitude to avoid inadvertently entering airspace C above.
There are four mandatory reporting points around the CTR. Romeo 1 and Sierra are generally only available for departures. If Egelsbach Radio is staffed, traffic via Lima is subject to approval by Egelsbach Radio. Keep in mind that ATC might instruct you to use a different reporting point than the one you requested, if necessary.
Two VFR holdings are charted for Frankfurt, one in the North and one in the South of the field. If no further clearance has been withdrawngiven after entering the CTR, you are expected to hold using these VFR holdings.
Frankfurt/Main is bordered by the Egelsbach ATZ in realthe lifeSoutheast asand shownthe Wiesbaden CTR(HX) in the Northwest.
Departure
VFR departures have to initially call Frankfurt Delivery.
When departing runways 25L or 25C, you can expect to be instructed to not overfly runway 18. If you are unable to comply with this instruction, inform ATC on theinitial latestcontact charts.that you need to overfly runway 18.
Arrival
Runway 25R/07L is not available for VFR traffic.
Traffic circuits
Due to the limitationlayout of Frankfurt/Main, the airspace around it, and the high amount of jetliner traffic, the airport is not well suited for VFR traffic circuits. This means that pilots need to be very proficient and can expect to spend a lot of time in one of the latestholdings.
During available we can't always simulate this stateperiods of developmenthigh traffic, ATC might need to fit you into very tight gaps, resulting in very short to non-existent finals as well as early crosswind turns. Please follow all instructions accurately and continueimmediately to useavoid Linkgo 1arounds atand ensure separation.
Who to contact?
When multiple Tower stations are staffed, it might not be immediately obvious who you should contact. Please refer to the network.
