Ground Movements

Parking Positions

Celle consists of multiple Aprons. Celle Tower should only instruct aircraft to taxi to a Ramp and not to a specific stand.

• Helicopter should park on Apron 1, 2, 3 and 4
• Aircraft should park on Apron 1 or 2

Taxiway Restrictions

At Celle, the following taxiway restrictions apply:

• Yellow Guidance Line: Approved for all aircraft
• Orange Guidance Line: Approved up to light and medium helicopters and fixed-wing Cat A-B aircraft
• Blue Guidance Line: Approved up to heavy helicopters and fixed-wing Cat C-D aircraft

The colour of the guidance line can be seen in the ground layout of the EDWW Euroscope package: 

Taxi Instructions

Celle Tower doesn’t need to provide detailed taxi instructions to military traffic if there is no conflicting traffic. Civilian traffic should receive full taxi instructions. 

Helicopter Lanes and Pads

Celle is equipped with one Helipad at taxiway Y and 5 Helicopter Lanes. Helicopter Lanes can be regarded as normal grass runways parallel to runway 08/26 that can only be used by helicopters. 

Departing Traffic

Celle Tower should inform departing traffic about current weather conditions. In the case of military traffic, the colour code is sufficient.

Celle Tower shall only issue IFR clearances after coordination with EDWW sector Hannover (HAN)!

Every IFR departure from ETHC requires a departure release from both ETHC APP and Bremen Radar before issuing a takeoff clearance!

SID-Assignments

• Besides SIDs, so-called Operational Instrument Departures (OIDs) are available (HC108 and HC126), initial climb by ATC

Arriving Traffic

Approaches Types

Celle is equipped with an RNP and Copter NDB  approach onto runway 08 and an RNP and NDB approach onto runway 26. 

There are also PAR and SRA approaches available on both runways.
Celle Radar will maintain Radio contact with the aircraft performing a PAR or SAR until landed. Celle Tower should inform Celle Radar if the runway is clear and the aircraft performing the PAR/SRA is cleared to land.
