# Overview

Spangdahlem is a United States Air Force base in Spangdahlem. It is home to the 52nd Fighter Wing and thus hosts a large number of F-16 jet fighter aircraft, but also serves as a a hub for the air mobility command and has facilities for military cargo and personnel transport flights.

<p class="callout info">Due to Spangdahlem being an American airfield, **controllers may use FAA procedures and phraseology** if they are familiar with them, but are not required to do so.</p>

As Spangdahlem 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](https://www.milais.org/publications.php "MILAIS Publications").

**Spangdahlem is an unrestricted airport**. Clearance and Ground 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. The GCA position can be staffed by all controllers with an **S3** rating or higher. However, controllers should closely familiarize themselves with military procedures before staffing the airport.
