### VFR-Traffic
There are two mandatory reporting points around the Noervenich Airbase:
**NOVEMBER** Edge of Hambach opencast mine, north of the Hambach forest
**SIERRA** Crossroads east of the village of Vettweiß
These mandatory reporting points are usually only used by civilian VFR traffic as well as non-jet traffic which is not engaged in SAR operations.
### VAD-JET
There are each four entry and exit routes for VFR military jet aircraft. Usage of these routes is highly recommended.
The following routes are to be used for military jets leaving the CTR:
