# Apron Lübeck Airport can be staffed with an apron controller, who is providing Delivery Service as well. This is VATSIM specific and not real-life procedure. The Apron Controller is responsible for all movements on aprons only. Taxiways A-D belong to the Tower. Holding Lines are directly at the outer limit of the Apron Area.

It is suitable for Echo-Class aircrafts up to 2.000kg TOW. Additional space is in front of and at the round halls north-east of the GA Apron (R1 - R4). The Fuel station is west of A on Apron 1. **Helicopters:** Lübeck has no Helipads. Helicopters use the runway for all operations and can park at a designated parking area between Hangar E and G, north of the GA Apron. **Glider School:** South of the main runway with own parking area next to the Glider Strip. ### Taxiways The main taxiways A-C are suitable for Class C aircrafts. Class D not yet confirmed. ## Delivery VATSIM has the Top-Down principle, therefore IFR Clearances shall be given by the Apron (or Tower), contrary to real-life procedures, where these are given by Bremen Radar. Delivery Service is responsible for all departing flights under IFR. **Initial climb clearance:** The initial climb clearance at Lübeck Airport is 5000ft on all published departure procedures. The altitude shall be entered as cleared altitude (CFL) in an appropriate list or tag. ### SIDs
**SID****07****25****Climb**
**HAM** *HAMBURG*1A1K5000ft
**LUGEG**1A1K5000ft
**RAMAR**1A1K5000ft
*Except HAM1K out of Runway 25 all other SIDs have Climb or Speed restrictions, where the phrase “via SID” shall be used.* ### Specials **Vectored departures:** The use of vectored departures requires prior coordination with the responsible radar station. An initial altitude to climb shall be provided. **IFR local flights:** IFR local flights are coordinated with the responsible radar controller, who may instruct a different departure procedure, possibly vectored departures. ### Low Visibility Operations (LVO)

**During Low Visibility Operations, Taxiway A shall be used for departing and arriving traffic exclusively. Arriving traffic needs to perform a backtrack in this case. Apron shall only issue a taxi clearance to the holding point after explicit release from Tower to avoid nose-to-nose situations with between arriving and departing traffic.**

During LVO, Lübeck Apron shall clear departing traffic to the CAT II holding point of taxiway A.
