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.

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.

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.

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.
