Ground Movements

Parking Positions

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

  • Helicopter should park on Ramp ...
  • Aircraft should park on ...
Taxi Instructions

Bückeburg 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. 

Helicopter Lanes and Pads

Bückeburg is equipped with one Helipad at Ramp 5 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. Taxi instruction from and to Lane C West or Lane C East needs to include a runway crossing of runway 08/26.

Departing Traffic

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

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

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

SID-Assignments
  • SIDs are named after the last two letters of the ICAO code of Bückeburg, ETHB (SH127 and SH109)
  • Initial climb clearances for all SIDs is 4000ft (unless otherwise coordinated with DBAS or SHR)

Arriving Verkehr

Approaches Types

Holzdorf is equipped with an RNP, TACAN and NDB approach onto runway 09 and an ILS, RNP and TACAN approach onto runway 27. There are also special variations of some approaches for helicopters, these are mostly shorter approaches. There is also a PAR and SRA approach available on both runways.
Holzdorf Precision will maintain Radio contact with aircraft performing a PAR or SAR until landed. Holzdorf Tower should inform Holzdorf Precision if the runway is clear and the aircraft performing the PAR/SRA is cleared to land.
