# Overview Frankfurt/Main airport is one of the largest airports in Europe and the world. Together with London Heathrow, it is also the busiest airport on the VATSIM network. **All stations at Frankfurt require a Tier 1 endorsement ([mentoring session necessary](https://board.vatsim-germany.org/threads/angebote-requests-training-request-thread.71382/ "Training Request Thread")).** DEL and GND positions require the EDDF\_GNDDEL endorsement which can be acquired by all controllers with an **S1** rating or higher. TWR requires the EDDF\_TWR endorsement which can be acquired by all controllers with an **S2** rating or higher. All APP/DEP positions require the EDDF\_APP endorsement which can be acquired by all controllers with an **S3** rating or higher. **Training:** Controllers with the S1 rating can staff TWR positions during their training (active EDDF\_TWR solo endorsement required). Controllers with the S2 rating can staff APP/DEP positions during their training (active EDDF\_APP solo endorsement required).
