# 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.

### Parking

**Terminal:** Lübeck features one terminal building at the center part of the Airport with Hangars left and right.

<span class="mw-headline">**Airliner Stands:** On the main apron in front of the terminal building. </span>

<span class="mw-headline">**Business Jets:** If they are small enough, Business Aviation parks directly in front of Hangars E and G (north of the grass GA Apron) or at the main apron.</span>

<span class="mw-headline">**General Aviation:** The GA Apron is a marked grass field north of Taxiway B and is called "*Parking Area GAT*". 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.</span>

<span class="mw-headline">**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.</span>

**Glider School:** South of the main runway with own parking area next to the Glider Strip.

### <span class="mw-headline" id="bkmrk-taxiways-0">Taxiways</span>

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.

*Except HAM1K out of Runway 25 all other SIDs have Climb or Speed restrictions, where the phrase “via SID” shall be used.*

### <span class="mw-headline" id="bkmrk-specials-0">Specials</span>

**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)

<p class="callout warning">**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.** </p>

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