Overview
Köln/Bonn is a complex airport with crossing runways and very little space on the ground and in the TMA. On VATSIM, it usually has a medium amount of traffic but will regularly operate at or even above capacity during events.
Delivery and Ground are unrestricted and can thus be staffed by all controllers with an S1 rating or higher; however, due to the high amount of complexity of the airport, it is highly recommended that S1-rated controllers have gained a great deal of experience at other unrestricted airports before staffing positions at Köln/Bonn. The Tower requires the EDDK_TWR Tier 1 endorsement which can be acquired by all controllers with an S2 rating or higher; additionally, controllers with the S1 rating can staff this position during their training if they hold an active EDDK_TWR solo endorsement. All radar positions require the EDDK_APP Tier 1 endorsement which can be acquired by all controllers with an S3 rating or higher; additionally, controllers with the S2 rating can staff the Arrival and Director positions during their training if they hold an active EDDK_APP solo endorsement - the Nörvenich sector is not included in the solo endorsement.
Köln Apron (EDDK_P_GND) must not be staffed!
