Overview

Niederstetten is a Bundeswehr base in Niederstetten with mixed military and civilian use. The airport was built during World War II as a temporary field and abandoned after the end of the war; however, when the post-war Luftwaffe was formed, the rudimentary infrastructure was built out to a permanent airfield which was improved even further in recent years, including a runway extension. While traffic consists primarily of helicopters of the Transporthubschrauberregiment 30, including multiple SAR helicopters, the airport is also used by civilian general and business aviation traffic.

As Niederstetten is a military airport, charts can't be found in the normal AIP. They are accessible through the MIL AIP, GEMIL FLIP VAD, and CENOR FLIP in the milais.

Niederstetten is an unrestricted airport. The Tower position can be staffed by all controllers with an S2 rating or higher. The radar position can be staffed by all controllers with an S3 rating or higher. However, controllers should closely familiarize themselves with military procedures before staffing the airport.
