# Arrival **Area of Responsibility:** The Hamburg Arrival airspace reaches up to FL105 and covers Hamburg Fuhlsbüttel (EDDH), Hamburg Finkenwerder (EDHI) and Lübeck Blankensee (EDHL). To the west of the Elbe river, the AoR is divided. The lower part up to FL65 belongs to the Friesland Sector (EDDW\_APP), between FL65 and FL105, HAMW is responsible.
The airports Lübeck Blankensee (EDHL) and Hamburg Finkenwerder (EDHI) are covered by HAME in the absence of a tower. Hamburg Finkenwerder (EDHI) can be delegated to EDDH\_TWR.

Airspace C (HX) sectors east and west of Hamburg are generally considered active and may be deactivated on pilot's request. Airspace D (HX) west of Finkenwerder is generally active if RWY 05 is in use at Hamburg-Finkenwerder.

All flights to/from Hamburg and Finkenwerder should, if possible, be kept within controlled airspace (TMZ/D/C). In Lübeck, the procedure is not applicable due to the airspace structure.
### Director Hamburg Director is responsible for all arriving aircraft at EDDH and EDHI. There is no area of responsibility for Hamburg Director. The transfer from Hamburg Arrival to Hamburg Director shall be done when the aircraft is cleared for the downwind as coordinated. #### Target seperation *In principle, these values are to be understood as minima and should be extended upon request from a tower for VFR traffic. The separations are chosen in a way that the gaps for departures are sufficiently large. Smaller spacing values can be coordinated at any time.* **The wake turbulence separation must be assured!**Departure Runway | Arrival Runway | Target Seperation (nm) |
