  • For arrivals to runway 05, Entry West will be used. For arrivals to runway 23, Entry East will be used.

    It’s important to remember that Jets on the VFR Jet arrival will overfly the airport at 1500 ft to make an Overhead Approach Maneuver to the south and then join the final as published in the chart!

Ground Movements

Parking Positions

Schleswig consists of multiple aprons and shelter areas. Schleswig Tower should only instruct aircraft to taxi to the apron/area.

Taxi Instructions

Schleswig Tower doesn’t need to provide detailed taxi instructions to military traffic if there is no conflicting traffic. Visitors from other squadrons (home squadron is ...) or civilian traffic should receive full taxi instructions. 

Departing Traffic

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

Schleswig Tower shall only issue IFR clearances after coordination with EDWW sector Eider East (EIDE)!

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

SID-Assignments
  • Operational Instrument Departures (OIDs) are used (NS105 and NS123), initial climb by ATC.
