To open more than three stations on the ground Berlin Delivery is always required to be online. ### Runway Assignment The runway assignment is depending on the parking positions of departing aircraft. It might be necessary to deviate from this rule due to traffic. The task of Delivery is to assign the departure runways to the aircraft as efficient as possible at any time. *[![Runway.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-12/scaled-1680-/runway.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-12/runway.png)* ### Departure Routes - All SIDs are RNAV only (excl. ROKMU1P) - All aircraft via SUKIP 1Q and LOGDO 1Q are required an RFL (Requested Flight Level) of least FL120 ### Datalink Clearance (PDC/DCL) The service of Datalink clearances shall be provided at any time. ### Airport collaborative decision-making (A-CDM) The A-CDM process will be simulated at EDDB during (weekly) events and any other high-traffic situations.

The Main Apron (EDDB\_A\_GND) shall connect first. Apron North (E\_GND) may be staffed as soon as Berlin Delivery is connected. *[![EDDB_Ground_Stations_Overview.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-12/scaled-1680-/aor-eddb-new.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-12/aor-eddb-new.png)AoR Berlin-Brandenburg Airport* ### Procedures #### Virtual Court - Road crossing north of B01 - Taxiways V1 and V2 will end at the virtual court - VC is the only taxiway which connects the Main Apron with Apron North - Crossing the virtual court is only possible via VC (physical barriers installed) - The virtual court displays a hotspot for ground movements in this area - Traffic may be re-routed via P1 or P2 to relieve the virtual court (coordination with Berlin Ground required) #### Efficiency - Usage of all available taxiways on the Main Apron will generate maximum capacity in this area - Good pre-planning and coordination with other stations required - Traffic to aprons A and C may be routed non-standard after coordination to reduce unnecessary waiting times. #### Pushback **Straight Pushback:** Often used for departing aircraft at aprons A and C to not block taxiways for other aircraft. > RYR302H, pushback approved, straight back, facing south. **Pushback with 180-Turn:** Used for aircraft parked next to each other to reduce blocking and waiting times. The 180-turn will be given with the taxi clearance. **Pushback on VC and V1/V2:** It is allowed to instruct aircraft a pushback on all three main taxiways. Wingspan clearance to other traffic must be obtained at any time! > AFR36DV, pushback approved, facing south on VC. #### Taxi **Swingover:** Aircraft might be instructed to switch from one taxiway to another taxiway at any time (except during LVP). > DLH202, swingover VC, taxi via VC, V1, hold short of Entry South. **Hold abeam:** It is possible to instruct aircraft to hold short abeam of any stand. > DLH202, hold short abeam stand D16. #### Gate Assignment Gate Assignments shall always be done via the Ground Radar Plugin. - All gates ending with "A" (e.g. B15A) are designed for heavy aircraft - All gates ending with "B" (e.g. B15B) are designed for the Airbus A380 - Stands E01-E19, 33-36 and 70-75 are so-called taxi-out stands (no pushback required) - Stands E01-E19 will be entered via P2, facing west (note: current sceneries will have aircraft parked facing east, use caution!) #### De-Icing De-icing is generally performed at remote de-icing pads on Apron E and Apron 3b: - When using de-icing pads PAD03, PAD05, PAD07, PAD09, PAD11, PAD13, PAD15, PAD17 on Apron E, stands E01 to E19 cannot be used anymore for parking: - PAD05, PAD07, PAD09, PAD11, PAD13 and PAD15 are only available for aircraft with max. wingspan <36 m - PAD03 and P17 may be used by A332, A333, A338, A339 A400, B752, B753, B762, B763, B764, B772; B778, B788; B789, B78X, C130 and IL76 - All pads on Apron E will be entered via P2 and left via P1 (parked facing west) - When using the de-icing pad PAD NORTH 1, stands 70 to 74 cannot be used anymore for parking: - Aircraft with a max. wingspan <52 m and with parking north of runway 07L/25R shall used PAD NORTH 1 - The pad will be entered via K. Aircraft shall position themself on the de-icing pad "facing north" **Further de-icing information here: [https://dms.vatsim-germany.org/s/akGzoSddntR6DM3](https://dms.vatsim-germany.org/s/akGzoSddntR6DM3)** (Note: Apron is expected to know what for its own to do when de-icing is requested and/or Berlin De-icing is online). #### P2-Orange Taxiway P2-Orange can only be used during daylight operations. #### Low Visibility Procedures The following applies during Low Visibility Procedures (LVP): - Swingover procedure not permitted - **Crossing the virtual court via VC not permitted** (Re-Routing via P1, P2 and T mandatory) - Use of conditional clearance not permitted ### Handoffs #### Handoffs during 07-Ops

**Station** **Station ID** **Frequency** **Login**
Berlin Tower Nord DBTN120.030 EDDB\_N\_TWR
Berlin Tower SüdDBTS118.805EDDB\_S\_TWR

If both Tower are online, the CTR is divided into two AoRs with a border between the runways. In case Ground is offline, Tower will cover this station.

## General ### Modes of operation Berlin Airport is authorized for the following modes of operations:
**Mode** **Spacing between 07L/25R and 07R/25L**
Alternating Approaches2,5 NM (\*)
Dependent Parallel Approaches1,5 NM
Independent Parallel Approaches---
Independent Parallel Departures---
Segregated Parallel Operations---

(\*) Alternating approaches will be used whenever dependent parallel approaches cannot be used (e.g. non-precision approaches).

#### Dependent Parallel Approaches Dependent Parallel Approaches may be used whenever both aircraft perform a precision approach.
REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR DEPENDENT PARALLEL APPROACHES 1. the final approach course or track is intercepted by use of: 1. vectoring; or 2. a published arrival and approach procedure that intercepts with the IAF or the IF. 2. **the instrument flight procedure that aligns the aircraft with the extended runway centre line is a** **precision approach** 3. aircraft are advised that approaches are in use to both runways; 4. a minimum of nominal 1000 ft vertical separation or a minimum of 3.0 NM horizontal separation is provided between aircraft until established on the final approach courses or tracks of parallel approaches 5. the minimum horizontal separation to be provided between aircraft established on the same final approach course or track is 3.0 NM unless increased longitudinal separation is required due to wake turbulence; 6. the minimum horizontal separation to be provided diagonally between successive aircraft on adjacent final approach courses or tracks is: [![EDDF_APP_Dependent.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-02/scaled-1680-/eddf-app-dependent.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-02/eddf-app-dependent.png) Source: Regulation (EU) 2017/373, ANNEX IV — Part-ATS
#### Independent Parallel Approaches During periods of high traffic, independent parallel approaches may be used.
REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR INDEPENDENT PARALLEL APPROACHES The main responsibility of Berlin Tower is to monitor the approach area between 14 NM and the threshold. In case of any deviation from the LOC, the traffic on the adjacent LOC shall be turned immediately! *"Turn left/right(number) degrees/heading(three figures) immediately to avoid traffic \*deviating from adjacent approach\*, climb(level)."* In order to perform independent parallel approaches, both director and tower positions have to be staffed. During Independent Parallel Approaches, both Tower need to activate the NTZ between both runways. **SUSPENSION OF INDEPENDENT PARALLEL OPERATIONS DUE TO METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS:** The meteorological conditions to be considered include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. wind shear; 2. turbulence; 3. downdrafts; and 4. crosswind and significant meteorological conditions such as thunderstorms, which might otherwise increase deviations from the final approach course or track to the extent that safety may be impaired.
#### Independent Parallel Departures Independent parallel departures shall always be used, except if the following requirements are not met:
REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR INDEPENDENT PARALLEL DEPARTURES 1. Parallel runways may be used for independent instrument departures as follows: 1. both runways are used for mixed arrivals and departures (mixed operation). 2. Independent IFR departures should only be conducted from parallel runways when the conditions listed below are met: 1. both aircraft are flying an RNAV or RNP instrument departure and 2. ATS operational procedures ensure that the required track divergence is achieved. In case departing traffic deviates from the departure route, the responsible tower controller needs to create separation immediately. **Note:** Vectored and visual departures are not approved for independent parallel departures **SUSPENSION OF INDEPENDENT PARALLEL OPERATIONS DUE TO METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS:** The meteorological conditions to be considered include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. wind shear; 2. turbulence; 3. downdrafts; and 4. crosswind and significant meteorological conditions such as thunderstorms, which might otherwise increase deviations from the final approach course or track to the extent that safety may be impaired.
#### Segregated Parallel Operations In Berlin, segregated runway operations will be used during the following conditions: - Low Visibility Procedures - Suspension of Independent Parallel Departures (e.g. due to CB, wind shear, turbulence, downdrafts, strong crosswind) - Special regulation of traffic flows (e.g. shuttle event) For Berlin, the following runway configurations are preferred for segregated parallel runway operations: - 07-Operations: 07L departures, 07R approaches - 25-Operations: 25L departures, 25R approaches
REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR SEGREGATED RUNWAY OPERATIONS Segregated parallel operations should only be conducted on parallel runways when the following conditions are met: 1. the nominal departure track diverges immediately after take-off by at least 30 degrees from the missed approach track of the adjacent approach 2. the instrument flight procedure that aligns the aircraft with the extended runway centre line is one of the following 1. precision approaches or RNP approach 2. visual approach Source: Regulation (EU) 2017/373, ANNEX IV — Part-ATS
### Target Spacing The responsible approach controllers will use the following target spacings depending on the conditions:
**Conditions** **Target Spacing**
Departures expected6 NM
No departures expected3 NM
Low Visibility Operations5 NM

Note: Tower may ask the approach control to increase the target spacing in case traffic has to depart between approaching aircraft. Usually, the Berlin approach unit will take the situation of departing traffic on the ground into account.

As long as possible, Tower may use reduced runway separation to depart traffic between approaching traffic. Due to the mixed operations on both runways, Berlin Tower must use every gap sufficient for departing traffic.

## Departing traffic ### General Departure Release Departures do not have to be released by EDWW (Bremen Radar) unless: - EDWW explicitly restricts departures by time, SID or until further notice - Departures out of the non-operational runway config - The first departure after a runway change - The first departure after an unplanned missed approach ### Departure Separation The following departure separation shall be used, except if wake turbulence separation is higher:
**Conditions** **Separation**
Same SID following5 NM
Different SID following3 NM
### Handoff Departing Traffic will be transferred to Berlin Departure when established on the SID. The following frequencies shall always be used if APP or DEP are staffed: - Traffic departing runway 07L/25R: Bremen Radar - 120.340 (Departure Nord) - Traffic departing runway 07R/25L: Bremen Radar - 120.630 (Departure Süd) ### Intersection Departures On the following intersections, Berlin Tower shall ask if traffic is in sight when using conditional clearances: - Runway 07L: L3, L4, K2 - Runway 07R: M3, M5 - Runway 25R: L5, L6 - Runway 25L: M6, M7 ## Arriving traffic ### Separation on final - After the transfer of communications from Director, Tower is responsible for monitoring the separation between arriving aircraft. If necessary Tower shall also use methods to ensure separation on the final. - When traffic is inside the EDDB D(CTR) (below 2500 ft), Berlin Tower may adjust the speeds of aircraft on final without prior coordination. If this is done, Tower is solely responsible for separation to traffic behind, on the same final. ### Handoff If Berlin Ground is staffed, traffic will switch to Ground automatically when vacated. This procedure shall be broadcast in the ATIS. ### Missed Approaches In case of a missed approach, the responsible Tower controller shall inform Berlin Departure North/South immediately. Traffic will be handed over to Berlin Departure after coordination. The next departure on the affected runway is always subject to release if not coordinated otherwise ([Departure Release](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/books/coordination/page/departure-release)). ## VFR traffic ### Control zone [![EDDB_CTR.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-09/scaled-1680-/eddb-ctr.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-09/eddb-ctr.png)*CTR Berlin - © [openflightmaps.org](https://www.openflightmaps.org/)* ### VFR Procedures - VFR movements preferred via runway 25R/07L - Crossing of the airport as to be coordinated between both Tower controllers ### EDAZ traffic IFR traffic inbound to EDAZ will momentarily enter Berlin D(CTR). Bremen Radar is responsible to inform Berlin Tower about every IFR approach at EDAZ. # Departure All sectors for Berlin Departure are dependent on the runway configuration at Berlin-Brandenburg Airport (BER/EDDB). - If there's only one Departure station online, the other Departure sector will also be covered - A second Departure controller should only connect with approval from the controller already being only. The same applies to position bookings. - Berlin Departure shall cross-couple both frequencies at any time. - All handoffs to APP/DEP shall be performed to the "correct" (/cross-coupled) sector frequency.

*SIDs 07L* *SIDs 07R*
- Departing traffic from different departure runways is independent as long as both aircraft are on a published procedure (vectored departures are not published procedures!) - It is Tower's responsibility to assure enough separation between Q and Z / B and K SIDs. #### Special Procedures **Hoffmann-Kurve** Due to noise abatement procedures aircraft following a Q-SID out of runway 07R will perform the famous "Hoffmann-Kurve". Aircraft operators are required to fly an early right turn to the south after passing 600ft. Berlin Tower will transfer those aircraft as soon as they are established on the crosswind leg. [![EDDB_Hoffmannkurve.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-09/scaled-1680-/eddb-hoffmannkurve.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-09/eddb-hoffmannkurve.png)*Berühmte Berliner Hoffmann-Kurve* Departing traffic following the LOGDO 1Q or SUKIP 1Q will have an initial climb of FL080. Special climb gradients are required in order to stay clear of arriving traffic. **DBAS4 Airspace** During 07-Ops Departure South will have a special delegated airspace inside the sector of Berlin Arrival South. This will ensure that departing traffic stays clear of any airspace of Berlin Arrival. This delegated airspace is known as the "DBAS4 Window". [![DBAS4.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-09/scaled-1680-/dbas4.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-09/dbas4.png)*Sector DBAS 4* **ED-R 146** Aircraft flying on the SUKIP 1K or LOGDO 1K are excluded from the flight restriction of ED-R 146. Departing traffic with an RFL below FL105 has to be transferred to Berlin Arrival North (DBAN). **Kreuzende Directs** Pay special attention to departing aircraft flying through the DBAS 4 Window (see above). It has to be assured that departing traffic will not leave this window below FL105 when getting a direct routing, in order to keep departing traffic clear of arriving traffic. [![DBAS4_Konfilkt.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-09/scaled-1680-/dbas4-konfilkt.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-09/dbas4-konfilkt.png)*Potential Conflict Departures - Arrivals* ### Procedures 25-Ops #### Abflugrouten

- Departing traffic from different departure runways is independent as long as both aircraft are on a published procedure (vectored departures are not published procedures!) #### Special Procedures **Parallel Departures to the West** During 25-Ops you will often face SUKIP and LOGDO departures flying parallel. It might be necessary to let the aircraft cross before performing the handover to the next station. It is helpful to do the crossing at low altitudes (earliest above 5000ft). Pay special attention to vertical separation. **Direct DB433** Usually, arriving traffic via OGBER will get a direct instruction to DB433. This crosses the airspace of DBDN and therefore needs a general or individual release for Berlin Departure. This normally doesn't cause any major conflicts because traffic will cross DBDN's airspace only at a tiny bit, in the vicinity of ED-R 146. ### Handoffs from Departure to Center Traffic on the same or crossing departure routes needs to have at least a minimum separation of 5 NM before handoff to Center. It might be necessary to give level-offs to aircraft to ensure separation during crossings.

(Potential) Conflicts **shall not** be transferred to Center at any time!

Use the LoA for details on level agreements: [https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/books/bremen-fir-edww/page/bremen-acc-internal](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/books/bremen-fir-edww/page/bremen-acc-internal)

After coordination with Sector BOR, departures via SUKIP M748 SOGMA might be transferred to Sector MAR.

All frequencies (incl. Berlin Departure) shall be cross-coupled by the responsible controller.

A second director will only be staffed when Independent Parallel Approach operations are required.

The Coordinator Position will take over all pre-planning responsibilities of Berlin Arrival. The main task is to coordinate all arrivals in a way, that an initial sequence is created for Arrival. All coordination duties are worked by the coordinator. Tags from the CTR station will be always transferred to Berlin Arrival immediately.

### Holzdorf AoR Holzdorf AoR (ETSH\_APP) may be staffed. This will delegate the airspace described below from GND to 5500 ft. Every movement between ETSH\_APP and Berlin Arrival requires prior coordination. Berlin Arrival will perform top-down service when ETSH is offline (SRA and PAR approaches will not be provided by Berlin Arrival). [![ETSH_AoR.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-10/scaled-1680-/holzdorf-aor.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-10/holzdorf-aor.png) ### TORGAU Area EDMM sector TRN may request the activation of TORGAU Area during RWYs 26 at EDDP. See [LoA EDWW-EDMM](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/books/bremen-fir-edww/page/bremen-acc-munchen-acc) para 2.4.2. [![MULDE_+_TORGAU_AREA.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-09/scaled-1680-/mulde-torgau-area.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-09/mulde-torgau-area.png) ### Airspace All active ED-Rs displayed on the radar screen shall be simulated. ED-R4 and ED-R146 will be active 24/7. Inbound traffic to EDDB shall always stay inside airspace class C. Level-offs might be necessary during descent to keep traffic inside protected airspace. ## Arriving traffic to EDDB ### Runway Allocation The pilot shall be informed about the expected runway on initial contact with Berlin Arrival (DBAN/DBAS). In almost all circumstances, runways are assigned depending on the planned parking position to reduce taxi times:
**Groups** **Runway Allocation**
SHALLAircraft with a wingspan of 65 meters or more (e.g. B748, A388) have to use runway 07R/25L.
SHOULDAircraft with parking positions on aprons 1, 2, 3, 4, A and E will be guided to runway 07L/25R whenever possible.
MAY Aircraft parking on parking positions B01-B04, D01-D07 and on apron E will be guided to runway 07L/25R. Aircraft parking on parking positions B05-B16, D08-D22 and on apron C will be guided to runway 07R/25L. Especially during peak times (independent parallel approaches) a shift to the other runway may be necessary (so-called Lastausgleich/load balancing).
DBAN/DBAS or the respective coordinator shall shift the default runway allocation for flights applying to the MAY category when performing independent parallel approaches depending on the traffic situation. DBAN/DBAS are responsible for generating a balanced load on both runways during this mode of operation. Coordination might be necessary. [![EDDB_Runway_Assignment.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-11/scaled-1680-/runway.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-11/runway.png) ### Managing inbound traffic There are no STARs available at EDDB. Traffic will mostly be vectored to the final. Often an initial direct to a transition fix can guide the traffic efficiently. Transitions are rarely used and are only designed as frequency relief procedures for Berlin Arrival.

Berlin Arrival shall make use of early coordination with ACC sectors MAR and FLG as well as with EPWW, in order to sequence traffic from the various clearance limits. Early coordinated headings, speeds and holdings will ensure a good traffic flow. Mostly, ACC sectors MAR and FLG explicitly wait for coordination with DBAN/DBAS before the transfer of communications is executed.

As traffic often is shortly prior to reaching the IAF/clearance limit (KETAP, OGBER, NUKRO, ATGUP, KLF), a further clearance on the initial call is recommended in order to avoid unwanted holdings.

Any approved/requested DCT for arrivals **EDDB**, given by DBAN/DBAS to MAR/FLG, shall include the approval to cross the airspace of sectors DBDN/DBDS!

### Holdings Published holdings are available at the IAFs/clearance limits. Holdings at KETAP and OGBER shall always be coordinated with ACC sector MAR. Holdings at NUKRO and ATGUP/KLF shall always be coordinated with ACC sector FLG. - The Holdings at KLF and ATGUP are dependent. The traffic of both clearance limits will usually be managed inside one holding. - Further information about holding procedures shall be found in the [EDWW LoA](https://dms.vatsim-germany.org/s/a5DNLX7QfDq5fbj) para 4.1.4 ### Approach Types There are 4 published approach types available at EDDB. By default, the ILS approach will be used.
**Runway** **Available Approach Types****Intercept Altitude**
07L/25RILS, LOC, RNP4000 ft
07R/25LILS, LOC, RNP, VOR3000 ft
When accepted by the pilots, Berlin Arrival may use short approaches out of 3000 ft via a 10 NM final on runway 07L/25R. For short approaches out of 2000 ft via a 6 NM final, prior coordination with Berlin Tower is necessary. ### Modes of Operation Berlin Airport is authorized for the following modes of operations:
**Mode** **Spacing between 07L/25R and 07R/25L**
Alternating Approaches2,5 NM (\*)
Dependent Parallel Approaches1,5 NM
Independent Parallel Approaches---
Segregated Parallel Operations---

(\*) Alternating approaches will be used whenever dependent parallel approaches cannot be used (e.g. non-precision approaches).

#### Dependent Parallel Approaches Dependent Parallel Approaches may be used whenever Berlin Director is online.
REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR DEPENDENT PARALLEL APPROACHES 1. the final approach course or track is intercepted by use of: 1. vectoring; or 2. a published arrival and approach procedure that intercepts with the IAF or the IF. 2. **the instrument flight procedure that aligns the aircraft with the extended runway centre line is a precision approach** 3. aircraft are advised that approaches are in use to both runways; 4. a minimum of nominal 1000 ft vertical separation or a minimum of 3.0 NM horizontal separation is provided between aircraft until established on the final approach courses or tracks of parallel approaches 5. the minimum horizontal separation to be provided between aircraft established on the same final approach course or track is 3.0 NM unless increased longitudinal separation is required due to wake turbulence; 6. the minimum horizontal separation to be provided diagonally between successive aircraft on adjacent final approach courses or tracks is: [![EDDF_APP_Dependent.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-02/scaled-1680-/eddf-app-dependent.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-02/eddf-app-dependent.png) Source: Regulation (EU) 2017/373, ANNEX IV — Part-ATS
#### Independent Parallel Approaches During periods of high traffic, independent parallel approaches may be used.
REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR INDEPENDENT PARALLEL APPROACHES Procedures and requirements can be viewed in this document: [https://dms.vatsim-germany.org/s/WoFrYYTMdWar65B](https://dms.vatsim-germany.org/s/WoFrYYTMdWar65B) In order to perform independent parallel approaches, both director and tower positions have to be staffed. **SUSPENSION OF INDEPENDENT PARALLEL OPERATIONS DUE TO METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS:** The meteorological conditions to be considered include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. wind shear; 2. turbulence; 3. downdrafts; and 4. crosswind and significant meteorological conditions such as thunderstorms, which might otherwise increase deviations from the final approach course or track to the extent that safety may be impaired.
#### Segregated Parallel Operations In Berlin, segregated runway operations will be used during the following conditions: - Low Visibility Procedures - Suspension of Independent Parallel Departures (e.g. due to CB, wind shear, turbulence, downdrafts, strong crosswind) - Special regulation of traffic flows (e.g. shuttle event) For Berlin the following runway configurations are preferred for segregated parallel runway operations: - 07-Operations: 07L departures, 07R approaches - 25-Operations: 25L departures, 25R approaches
REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR SEGREGATED RUNWAY OPERATIONS Segregated parallel operations should only be conducted on parallel runways when the following conditions are met: 1. the nominal departure track diverges immediately after take-off by at least 30 degrees from the missed approach track of the adjacent approach 2. the instrument flight procedure that aligns the aircraft with the extended runway centre line is one of the following 1. precision approaches or RNP approach 2. visual approach
### Target Spacing The following target spacings shall be used between aircraft on the same final, except if wake turbulence separation is higher:
**Conditions** **Target Spacing**
Departures expected6 NM
No departures expected3 NM
Low Visibility Operations5 NM

The approach shall assess the situation on the ground regarding departing traffic and shall adjust the target spacing accordingly. No coordination is required in order to reduce to 3 NM in case no departing traffic is expected between approaching aircraft.

Note: Berlin Tower may reduce aircraft on final inside the EDDB D(CTR) without any prior notification.

### Handoff Arrival to Director DBAN/DBAS shall guide arrivals to EDDB in such a way that an interim arrival sequence is reached prior to transferring the aircraft.

13 NM final runways 07L/R from 22:00 lcl - 06:00 lcl Vectored approaches to RWYs 07L/R shall be guided in a way that the aircraft is established on the final approach track 13 NM from the touchdown between 22:00 local time and 06:00 local time. Aircraft in an emergency or distress situation or an urgent exceptional situation (e.g. meteorological reasons) as well as visual approaches shall be exempted from this provision.
Visual Approach RWYs 07/25 Whenever issuing a clearance for a visual approach the pilot shall be instructed to conduct the approach in such a way that the final approach is not less than 6 NM and descent below 2000 ft MSL will not be performed prior to reaching final approach.
