# Overview

Traffic at Dortmund is usually characterized by low cost and VFR flights, mixed with some holiday destinations. One specialty at the airport are the nose out parking positions where arriving traffic is pushed backwards into the stand.

**Dortmund is an unrestricted airport** and **part of the [S1 minor program](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/books/langen-fir-edgg-cw9/page/s1-basic-lesson "EDGG S1 minor program")**. GND and TWR can be staffed by all controllers with an **S1** rating or higher who have passed the **required moodle courses**. Further information on the Paderborn Low sector can be found in the [EDLP SOP](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/books/sops-fir-langen/chapter/edlp-paderbornlippstadt-airport "EDLP SOP (VATGER Knowledgebase)").
