# Arriving in Munich ### Arrival ##### Regardless of your filed flight plan and any arrival contained therein, **your en-route clearance ends at the clearance limit! You are not cleared to fly the filed arrival (nor** **will** **you be, see below).** The clearance limits for EDDM arrivals are: `BETOS`, `NAPSA`, `LANDU`, or `ROKIL`. **If you receive no further clearance** after passing the limits, **hold** at the respective clearance limit **as published** (details are noted in the section *Arrival Details* below). #### RNAV Transitions and STARs ##### **Expect RNAV transitions—not the STARs!** Tell the approach controller immediately if your aircraft is not equipped for the transitions. The RNAV transitions are: **BETOS08, NAPSA08, LANDU08, ROKIL08** for runways 08L/08R and **BETOS26, NAPSA26, LANDU26, ROKIL26** for runways 26L/26R. The STARs have letters in their designators (e.g. BETOS 1A) and are only used for communication failure and other non-standard situations – even though they technically have to be filed in Germany. You will **not** fly via `MIQ` or `OTT` on the RNAV transitions. ##### 26 Operations [![EDDM 26.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-10/scaled-1680-/eddm-26.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-10/eddm-26.png) ##### 08 Operations [![EDDM 08-2.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-10/eddm-08-2.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-10/eddm-08.png) #### FMC Operation Expand the section below to learn how to set up your airplane for the RNAV transitions:
Airbus On the F-PLN page, select the arrival runway, as usual, you have four runways to choose from. **If you are not given a runway** when cleared for the transition, choose any matching the landing direction as per ATIS and be prepared to change it later.

If things are programmed correctly, you will not have MIQ or OTT in your flight plan. **If you are unsure, or things look weird, inform your controller!** [![eddm-rnav-4.jpg](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-08/scaled-1680-/eddm-rnav-4.jpg)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-08/eddm-rnav-4.jpg)

### Final Approach: München Arrival If München Arrival (this station was formerly known as Director) is online, you are instructed to contact them with your **callsign only, do not report your current or cleared altitude, or inbound waypoint:** > **Pilot:** München Arrival, Lufthansa 123 ### Landing and Vacating: Tower and Ground München Tower will give you the landing clearance. **Vacate as soon as possible and be sure to cross the holding point.** The dashed line from your direction indicates that you can (and in fact must) cross it without further clearance to fully vacate the runway. **Hold short of T or M,** if you see a EDDM\_**N**\_GND or EDDM\_**S**\_GND online, switch to the respective frequency: 121.980 if you have landed on the northern runway (08L/26R) or 121.830 if you have landed on the southern runway (08R/26L). If unsure, Tower will also hand you over.

EDDM\_**1/2/3**\_GND are only responsible for the aprons, please do not contact them after vacating unless instructed.

If no Ground controller is online, remain on Tower frequency, as Tower will then also give you taxi instructions to the apron entry (N1-N4 or S1-S8). Without further clearance you have to hold at the apron entry point: > **ATC:** Lufthansa 123, taxi to entry N4 via A6 and N

Most apron entries are on bridges in Munich, a clearance "to" an entry instructs you to taxi into the entry, and thus onto the bridge whereas a "hold short" clearance wants you to hold short of the entry.

### Parking: Apron

Munich **Apron is**—as usual in Europe—**controlled.** Clearances are required for all movements.

The Apron controller will guide you to your parking position. If you would like to park at a different parking position, feel free to request it. See the next section for the available parking areas and default assignments.
