General
The S2 training in FIR München takes place at three airports. They differ in classification between tier 1 (former major airport) and unrestricted status:

EDDN | EDDP |
Requirements for applying
- You have controlled for at least 10 hours within the last two months at one of the S1 training airports within FIR München (EDJA, EDMA, EDMO, EDDC, EDDE, EDQM).
To start your training in EDDM (tier 1 airport) you have to apply for training to gain a ground endorsement. This training can be requested in the "Ausbildungsplanung" thread in our forum.
The listed 10 hours of minimum activity are the absolute lower limit, you are explicitly encouraged to be much more active. The time between applying for the EDDM ground endorsement and actually receiving it is also not waiting time. It is meant for you to be actively controlling a smaller Tower position and gain experience.
