Departure Routes

The following departure routes (SIDs) are available at EDDW:

Parking

During 27-Ops, Bremen Ground shall use the Z-SIDs by default (where available). All L-SIDs shall only be used on explicit pilot's request only. The initial climb for all departure routes is 4000 ft. 

The use of SOFED departure routes shall be terminated in case ED-R 202 or ED-R 302 (known as TRA Weser) are active. In this case, traffic via SOFED shall be re-routed via OTEXE N125 SOEFD (then flight-planned route). EDWW sector FRI will inform Bremen Ground about the activation and Pushback

VFR traffic

Departing VFR traffic will call Bremen Ground initially. Bremen Ground shall create an F-Plan when necessary and inform Bremen Tower about the intentions of the VFR traffic. 

Pushbacks: Pushbacks are required for aircraft on stands 01-11. Aircraft on stands 12-19 may also taxi out, provided that they meet the restrictions for the taxiway they're taxiing onto.

De-Icing: De-icing is provided directly at the parking position.  

Taxiway Restrictions

Taxiways

When runway 23 is active (daytime only, winds permitting), VFR departures of up to 5700 kg MTOM requesting departureto leave the CTR via SSIERRA, WHISKEY or WNOVEMBER are assigned runway 2323. Note: the pilot may request runway 27 for departure, this shall be coordinated with Bremen Tower.

Jet aircraft or any aircraft with an MTOM of more than 5700 kg shall follow a published IFR departure route under VFR conditions. In this case, Bremen Ground shall coordinate the departure routing with Bremen Tower. Bremen Ground will then inform the pilot about the expected departure routing. 

Ground Movements

Parking Positions

Bremen Ground shall use the arrival stand planned by the Groundradar Plugin. On request by the pilot, this stand may be changed. 

All stands are limited to a maximum wingspan of 36 m. Stands 12A and instructed18A may be used by heavy aircraft (wingspan up to 52 m). 

General Aviation traffic shall be parked at the General Aviation Apron next to taxi lane R if the aircraft's wingspan is below 24 m. Larger General Aviation traffic shall park at stands 12-17. 

Apron 3 shall be used for traffic of company Atlas Air Service (ATL, callsign "Air Bremen"). Additionally, this apron may be assigned at the pilot's request only. 

Taxiway Intersections

As a general rule, departing IFR traffic shall be cleared to Intersection A (RWY 09) or Intersection F (RWY 27) by Bremen Ground. Intersection C (RWY 09) or D/E (RWY 27) may be used on the pilot's request only. 

Departing VFR traffic using runway 23 viashall D.be

cleared

Whento intersection D holding at the holding point of runway 27. Unless otherwise requested, departing VFR traffic from runway 09 shall use intersection C. VFR traffic departing from runway 27 shall be guided via intersection D. 

VFR traffic requesting to depart from runway 09 to leave the CTR via WHISKEY shall be guided to runway intersection A only. The use of other intersections is active,prohibited!

Whenever possible, departing traffic should be transferred to Bremen Tower when joining taxiway F. 

For noise abatement reasons, taxi clearances for aircraft taxiing via intersection F to take off from RWY 27 will be issued only up to the CAT II/III holding position.

For noise abatement reasons, pilots of propeller and turbo-prop aeroplanes of more than 2000 kg MTOM arewill, assignedas a rule, be cleared by Bremen Ground to use intersection EchoE for departure.take-off AircraftRWY with27 an MTOMinstead of upintersection toF. 2000The kg intersectionpilot shall beinform assignedBremen ground in case intersection D.

Low Visibility Procedures

When low visibility conditions exist, Bremen Ground shall only beuse used for Lufthansa Flightschool aircraft and NOT for regular IFR in/outbounds.

Low Visibility Procedures (LVP)
