Radar

Area of Responsibility

Wittmund Radar is responsible for departing and arriving traffic from/to ETNT as well as for IFR traffic at EDWE and EDWI. 

When online, Wittmund Radar activates its delegated AoR within the Bremen ACC sector Eider West (EIDW). Full responsibility is delegated to Wittmund Radar for this airspace.

Wittmund Radar shall inform Bremen ACC sectors EIDW, FRI and Nordholz Radar (ETMN APP)  about the opening and closing of AoR Wittmund immediately!

If Nordholz Radar is offline, Wittmund Radar (ETNT APP) will take over full responsibility for AoR Nordholz and top-down responsibilities at ETMN. Therefore, Wittmund Radar shall consult the SOP of Nordholz before connecting to the Vatsim network.

Airspace

Wittmundhafen is equipped with a TMZ and RMZ. This will ensure that VFR traffic in the vicinity of the aerodrome is known to Wittmund Radar. The RMZ will only be used by traffic not equipped with a transponder (not applicable in Vatsim). Traffic within the TMZ of Wittmundhafen shall monitor Wittmund Radar's frequency and squawk 4472. This traffic is not required to make an initial call to ATC. Still, ATC may contact this traffic when required (e.g. traffic information about IFR traffic).

Approach Types

Runway 07

Runway 25

Since Wittmund Precision is currently not implemented on VATSIM, PAR approaches can only be conducted if traffic levels permit - if necessary, Wittmund Radar can coordinate with civilian ATC to keep other inbound traffic outside of the airspace while a PAR approach is taking place; whether this is possible, however, depends on the current workload of civilian ATC.
