Arriving in Munich

Arrival

Fly to the clearance limit corresponding with your direction of flight, which will be BETOS, NAPSA, LANDU or ROKIL.

If you receive no further clearance, hold at the respective clearance limit as published (also noted in the 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.

FMC Operation

Airbus

On the F-PLN page, select the arrival runway, as usual, you have four runways to choose from: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.

Then, do not select any STAR on this page, instead select the L2 key to open the VIAS selection.

Now, you can select the cleared RNAV transition, sometimes abbreviated (LANDU becomes LAN, etc.):

Finally, check that your FMC is correctly displaying the up- and downwind as per the published charts. If things are programmed correctly, you will not have MIQ or OTT in your flightplan. If you are unsure, or things look weird, inform your controller!

Director

If Director is online, you will have to contact him with your callsign only:

Pilot: München Director, Lufthansa 123

Tower

München Tower will give you the landing clearance. If no ground controller is online, Tower will also give you taxi instructions to the apron entry (N1-N4 or S1-S8).

Ground

The Ground controller will guide you from the runway to the apron entry (N1-4 or S1-8) via taxi instructions. Without further clearance you have to hold at the entry point. „DLH123 taxi to entry N4 via A6 and N.”

Apron

The Apron controller will guide you to your parking position. If you want a different parking position, feel free to request it.
