# Departing from Munich
Due to ongoing construction on **Apron 1,** please do not spawn on positions **101–109** and **141–144.**
### Delivery Call München Delivery for en-route and startup clearance. Your clearance will look something like this: > **ATC:** *`CALLSIGN`,* (startup approved) cleared to `DESTINATION` `DEPARTURE`, flight planned route, climb via SID flight level 70, squawk `XXXX`. If you are unable to follow a SID, inform the controller and expect vectors for your departure. ##### Initial Climb **All** standard instrument departures out of Munich have an **initial climb clearance of FL070.**Please note that there is a **difference** between **7000 feet** and **FL070!** As the Transition Altitude is 5000 feet in Germany, your initial climb is "flight level 70"—a precise read-back is appreciated.

Usually, **departures to the north** can expect the **northern runway** while **departures to the south** will depart out of the **southern runway.** You can find a list with the SID fixes and designators for each runway below. Traffic parking at the Cargo Apron can usually expect the southern runway for departure if traffic allows.Northern Runway **08L/26R** | **AKINI, ANKER, EVIVA, GIVMI, INPUD, MIQ, RIDAR (08L)** Preferred SID designators: **Q, T** (08L); **N** (26R) |

##### Taxi Your taxi routing towards the departure runway always consists out of two parts. The first taxi instruction will lead you to the so called (apron) **entries** (e.g. N3, N4). **You have to hold at the entry unless instructed otherwise.** Further taxi will be with Ground after a frequency change. > **ATC:** DLH123 taxi to entry N4 via W2 and D1.**Entries N1-N4 and S5-S8 are located on bridges.** When cleared for the entry, you can always **taxi onto the respective bridge** and hold there.
### Ground München Ground will guide you from the apron entries to the runway. The controller might ask you if you are able for an intersection departure. if not, you can always ask the controller to shorten the taxi time. ##### Handoff to Tower Ground can tell you to contact Tower as usual or advise you to "stand by for Tower on ...". **If instructed to stand by or monitor,** just tune in to the given frequency, **do not call in,** but listen closely—Tower will call you when it’s your turn. ### Tower As stated in the charts, remain on the Tower frequency until further advised. Expect a handoff to München Radar, again listen carefully for the given frequency as multiple stations may be open.
