Taxi Instructions

Celle Tower doesn’t need to provide detailed taxi instructions to military traffic if there is no conflicting traffic. Civilian traffic should receive full taxi instructions. 

Helicopter Lanes and Pads

Celle is equipped with one Helipad at taxiway Y and 5 Helicopter Lanes. Helicopter Lanes can be regarded as normal grass runways parallel to runway 08/26 that can only be used by helicopters. 

Departing Traffic

Celle Tower should inform departing traffic about current weather conditions. In the case of military traffic, the colour code is sufficient.

Celle Tower shall only issue IFR clearances after coordination with EDWW sector Hannover (HAN)!

Every IFR departure from ETHC requires a departure release from both ETHC APP and Bremen Radar before issuing a takeoff clearance!

Arriving Traffic

Approaches Types

Celle is equipped with an RNP and Copter NDB  approach onto runway 08 and an RNP and NDB approach onto runway 26. 

There are also PAR and SRA approaches available on both runways.
Celle Radar will maintain Radio contact with the aircraft performing a PAR or SAR until landed. Celle Tower should inform Celle Radar if the runway is clear and the aircraft performing the PAR/SRA is cleared to land.

Radar

Area of Responsibility

Celle Radar is responsible for departing and arriving traffic from/to ETHC. 

When online, Celle Radar activates its delegated AoR within the Bremen ACC sector Hannover (HAN). Full responsibility is delegated to Celle Radar for this airspace.

Celle Radar shall inform Bremen ACC sector HAN, Faßberg Radar (ETHS APP)  as well as Wunstorf Radar (ETNW APP) about the opening and closing of AoR Celle immediately!

If Fassberg Radar (ETHS APP) is offline, Celle Radar will take over full responsibility for AoR Fassberg and top-down responsibilities at ETHS. Therefore, Celle Radar shall consult the SOP of Fassberg before connecting to the Vatsim network.

Runway 09

Runway 27

Since Celle Precision is currently not implemented on VATSIM, PAR approaches can only be conducted if traffic levels permit - if necessary, Celle Radar can coordinate with civilian ATC to keep other inbound traffic outside of the airspace while a PAR approach is taking place; whether this is possible, however, depends on the current workload of civilian ATC.
