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 as well as the normally unused Pushback-Apron are unrestricted and can thus be staffed by all controllers with an S1 rating or higher; therehowever, due to the high amount of complexity of the airport, it is nohighly requirementrecommended tothat completeS1-rated controllers have gained a moodlegreat coursedeal forof theseexperience positions.at other unrestricted airports before staffing positions at Köln/Bonn.
