Delivery
Berlin Delivery can be staffed as soon as there is Berlin Tower and Berlin Apron online. 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.
SIDs
BIKPO/GERGA SIDs
With AIRAC 2511, GERGA SIDs are only available out of RWYs 06L, 06R and 24L. Traffic intending to depart from RWY 24R to the north is required to use the new shorter SID via BIKPO. With that, cases exist where Berlin Delivery needs to issue a re-clearance to the pilot:
| Departure RWY | Filed Flight Plan via | Re-clearance via | Alias Command |
| 24R | First waypoint GERGA | BIKPO DCT GERGA flight-planned route | .rcbikpo |
| 06L, 06R, 24L | First waypoint BIKPO | GERGA M725 RENKI flight-planned route | .rcgerga |
The vSID will automatically choose the correct SID per runway, but will highlight any SID where a re-clearance is required (purple colour). In this case, Berlin Delivery shall issue the re-clearance and amend the flight plan accordingly.
OIDs
As all SIDs out of Berlin-Brandenburg are for RNAV-capable aircraft only, certain contingency procedures for non-RNAV aircraft need to be applied. For non-RNAV aircraft intending to depart IFR out of EDDB, so-called Omnidirectional Instrument Departures (OIDs) will be used instead.
These OIDs will guide the departing aircraft on runway heading until reaching 2200 ft. Thereafter, the departing traffic will continue as cleared by ATC. Further information is available here: https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/link/1167#bkmrk-omnidirectional-inst
The further clearance is subject to the clearance coordinated with Bremen Radar.
All EDDB OIDs shall be coordinated with Berlin Departure before IFR clearance is issued.
Visual Departures
Visual departures can be used for both runways, but only for propeller aeroplanes of up to two engines and the aircraft type DHC-7. Visual departures shall be coordinated with Bremen Radar individually.
vSID Plugin Commands
The following plugin commands for vSID are available at EDDB:
| Command |
Explanation |
|
.vsid area eddb north |
This will disable the area where all aircraft will be assigned to runway 06L/24R. |
|
.vsid area eddb south |
This will disable the area where all aircraft will be assigned to runway 06R/24L. |
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. Further information here: https://dms.vatsim-germany.org/s/odw629qZk5WezPi
