# Overview

Mönchengladbach is a small airport in Western Germany. Traffic mostly consists of general aviation VFR flights as well as private jets and business charters. The maintenance center located in the Northern part of the airport also attracts maintenance flights for various smaller aircraft.

**Mönchengladbach is an unrestricted airport** and **part of the [S1 minor program](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/books/langen-fir-edgg-cw9/page/s1-training "EDGG S1 minor program")**. GND and TWR can be staffed by all controllers with an **S1** rating or higher who have passed the **required moodle courses**. Further information on the radar stations can be found in the [EDDL SOP](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/books/sops-fir-langen/chapter/eddl-dusseldorf-airport "EDDL SOP (VATGER Knowledgebase)").

### Aircraft size

Mönchengladbach is **too small for most passenger aircraft**, even though there are no specific type restrictions.

Pilots flying unsuitably large aircraft (e.g. A320, B737, ...) **should be reminded of the small size of the airport and its short runway length** but may not be denied service if they decide to continue the flight as planned regardless.
