Overview

Wiesbaden is a United States Army Air Forces base in Wiesbaden. It hosts mainly helicopters and smaller training aircraft (e.g. Beechcraft King Airs), but can also support smaller jetliners. Its location directly next to the the Frankfurt CTR and below the Frankfurt TMA make it a very interesting airport that can require a lot of coordination. Additionally, it has probably the most complex VFR procedures of any controlled airport in Germany.

Due to Wiesbaden being an American airfield, controllers may use FAA procedures and phraseology if they are familiar with them, but are not required to do so.

As Wiesbaden is a military airport, charts can't be found in the normal AIP. They are accessible through the GEMIL FLIP US DoD in the milais.

Wiesbaden is an unrestricted airport. The Ground position can be staffed by all controllers with an S1 rating or higher. The Tower position can be staffed by all controllers with an S2 rating or higher, although it is recommended to hold the EDDF_TWR and EDDF_APP Tier 1 endorsements for familiarity with the surrounding airspace. Additionally, controllers should closely familiarize themselves with military procedures before staffing the airport.
