# Departure release

At some airports it is necessary to obtain a so-called Departure Release from the radar station above before each departure, as they are responsible for the separation between IFR arrivals and departures. Whether a release is required can be found in the corresponding tower SOP of the airport.  
If a release is required, coordination should proceed as follows:

<table border="1" id="bkmrk-edmm-approval-reques" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 180px;"><tbody><tr><td style="width: 10.995%; background-color: #fbeeb8;">EDFH TWR

The release can accordingly either be given with or without restriction, or rejected.
