Münster Arrivals/Departures
Inbounds: All flights into Münster have to use BAMSU (inside DLA sector) or DOMEG as last waypoint. All STARs end at HMM, thereafter the published ILS, RNP or NDB approach can be cleared. If using vectors to the final, the MVA need to be taken into account. Inbounds via BASUM are already cleared for the STAR by the previous controller. It's also possible to coordinate directs with the previous controller to HMM without using the published arrival, especially when coming from Amsterdam FIR.
Inbounds via SONEB Z841 DOMEG will enter the sector at FL110 and are released for turns and descend. Inbounds on the BAMSU STAR are at FLXXX.
