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.
Köln/Bonn is an unrestricted airport. DEL and GND are unrestricted and can be staffed by all controllers with an S1 rating or higher. TWR position requires the EDDK_TWR Tier 1 endorsement which can be acquired by all controllers with an S2 rating or higher. All radar positions require the EDDK_APP Tier 1 endorsement which can be acquired by all controllers with an S3 rating or higher.
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.
Training: Controllers with the S1 rating can staff TWR during their training (active EDDK_TWR solo endorsement required). Controllers with the S2 rating can staff APP positions during their training (active EDDK_APP solo endorsement required - sector NOR not included).
