Radar

General

Laage Radar is responsible for departing and arriving traffic from/to ETNL. 

When online, Laage Radar activates its delegated AoR within Bremen ACC sector Müritz (MRZ). Full responsibility is delegated to Laage Radar for this airspace.

Laage Radar shall inform Bremen ACC sector Müritz about the opening and closing of AoR Laage immediately!


Procedures

Arriving traffic

  • Bremen Radar shall clear traffic descending to FL70 direct to LAG or on a suitable heading. The traffic needs to be coordinated individually between EDWW and ETNL APP (see "Radar Handover").
Inbound Procedures EDWW and Radar Handover Coordination
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. 

👨🏻‍✈️: "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.approach."

The colour state is only to be used for military traffic. For civil traffic the ATIS letter 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”

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

Departing traffic 

  • Departing IFR traffic will be transferred from Laage Tower to Laage Radar initially. 
    • Laage Radar is responsible to verify mode C readout and to identify the departing aircraft
    • Usually, Laage Radar shall coordinate a further climb with EDWW before departure release or coordinate a general release of the climb. If no further climb is coordinated, departing IFR traffic leaving the AoR shall be transferred to Bremen Radar after identification. 


Approach Types

ILS and LOC Z

  • Usually used by civil traffic
  • Classified for CAT I operations only. 

ILS and LOC Y

  • Only used by military traffic

RNAV (GPS)

  • Usually used by civil traffic

TACAN

  • Only used by military traffic

SRA

  • Guidance by Laage Radar

PAR

  • Sequencing on final by Laage Radar
  • Guidance on final by Laage Precision


Laage Precision

  • Is only responsible for PAR approaches
  • Traffic is controlled by a special radar system
  • Laage Radar will issue an initial vector leading to the final before performing a radar handover to Laage Precision
  • Only one aircraft at a time shall be on the frequency of Laage Precision
  • At around 3-5 nm Laage Precision should ask Laage Tower for Landing clearance if not already provided by Tower
