# Overview Nörvenich is a Bundeswehr base in Nörvenich. Originally built as an RAF base after World War II, it was transferred to the German military almost immediately after construction was completed and became the first airport of the newly formed German Luftwaffe. Today, it is home to the Taktische Luftwaffengeschwader 31 and a SAR helicopter from the Transporthubschrauberregiment 30. Additionally, it serves as an alternate for aircraft stationed at Geilenkirchen and Büchel air base. As Nörvenich 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](https://www.milais.org/publications.php "MILAIS Publications"). **Nörvenich 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, although it is **recommended to hold the EDDK\_APP Tier 1 endorsement** for familiarity with the surrounding airspace. Additionally, controllers should closely familiarize themselves with military procedures before staffing the airport. ### Nörvenich ATC Stations
