Initial Contact on Bremen Radar

Inbound traffic making the initial call shall be cleared DCT LAG TACAN (or any ther suitable heading) descending to FL70 by Bremen Radar. Bremen Radar shall also inform the pilot about the runway-in-use at ETNL aswell as the QNH and colour state. 

Example: (🎧 = EDWW, 👨🏻‍✈️ = Pilot)

👨🏻‍✈️: "Bremen Radar, TITANT, FL180 inbound TAGOB"

🎧: "TITANT, Bremen Radar, indentified, proceed direct LAG, descent to FL70, report ready to copy Laage weather."

👨🏻‍✈️: "TITANT, direct LAG, descending to FL70, go ahead!"

🎧: "TITANT, runway 27, QNH 1020, colour state Blue+, (forecast Blue), report requested type of approach."

👨🏻‍✈️: "TITANT, runway 27, QNH 1020, request Radar/Radar approach."

The colour state is only to be used for military traffic. For civil traffic only the ATIS letter and RWY should be used instead. 
The forecast is announced as the second colour state in the METAR, e.g.: ETNL 301920Z 01003KT 9999 FEW280 18/11 Q1020 BLU+ BLU 
From colour state green onwards (IMC), full transmission of the MET Report is required (wind, visibility, special weather, ceiling, QNH), e.g.: “Colour state green, wind 250° 9 kts, visibility 4500 m, light rain, clouds overcast 800 ft, QNH 1011”

 Further information about colour state is avilable here.

Radar/Radar = radar vectored PAR approach
Radar to visual = radar vectored visual approach
Radar to ILS = radar vectored ILS approach

Radar Handover Coordination

Next the traffic needs to be coordinated with ETNL APP. For this a so-called Radar Handover is performed.

Note: Every aircraft, no matter military or civil, shall be coordinated between EDWW and ETNL APP.

Example: (🎧 = MRZ, 📡 = ETNL APP)

🎧: "Laage Radar, Müritz."

📡: "Go ahead!

🎧: "Radar Handover, TITANT, 18 NM, southeast LAG TACAN."

📡: "Identified!"

🎧: "Single Eurofighter, inbound LAG, descending to FL70 for Radar/Radar approach."

📡: "Turn right heading 070, descend to altitude 4000 ft, (contact Laage Radar 123.300)."

🎧: "Consider! (<initials>)"

📡: "(<initials>)"

Laage Radar may also accept the current conditions if required (in this example DCT LAG, FL70). After the Radar Handover coordination has been completed, Bremen Radar shall instruct the entry conditions to the pilot and transfer the aircraft as soon as possbile to APP.
