Ground

Also check the information for Erfurt Apron, as Ground will cover the position unless it is separately rostered.

Erfurt Ground is responsible for all taxiing traffic on the taxiways outside the apron. After consultation with Erfurt Apron, the task of taxi clearances can also be taken over by Apron. Erfurt Ground also takes over the route clearances. 

Runway allocation

Normally, the runway specified by the tower is assigned to the pilots. After consultation with Erfurt Tower (EDDE_TWR) and Munich Radar (EDDP_TRS_APP), individual deviations from the active runway direction are possible.

SID assignment

Datalink clearances are not available in Erfurt.

Taxi movements

Erfurt Ground is responsible for all taxiing movements on taxiways F, E, D and S (between T6 and F). It can be coordinated with Erfurt Apron that this position takes over all taxi movements in Erfurt.Erfurt Ground is responsible for all taxi movements on taxiways F, E, D and S (between T6 and F).

Apron

Erfurt Apron is to be opened only when it is staffed as part of a rostered event. Otherwise, Ground covers the area of responsibility.

Erfurt Apron is responsible for all taxiing traffic on the apron. After consultation with the ground, taxi clearances can also be given up to the holding point. This station is also responsible for releasing pushbacks and powerbacks. If no Erfurt Ground is online, route clearances are handled by the Apron. It is only occupied if Erfurt Tower is occupied.

Area of responsibility

Erfurt Apron is responsible for all flight movements on the apron. This means that taxiways T6, T5, T4, T3, T2 and S (between T6 and A) are also part of the apron control area.

Preferred operating direction

The preferred runway in Erfurt-Weimar between 22:00-06:00 locally for take-offs is 09 and for landings runway 27, if the tailwind component does not exceed 5kts. In all other cases, the runway should be decided by the respective controller depending on the weather and traffic situation.

Control zone

The Erfurt control zone extends over the entire city of Erfurt. The vertical limit of the CTR is now 3500ft MSL. Flights into and out of the control zone take place via the mandatory reporting points:

Incoming traffic

As the pilot vacating the runway, the tower hands over the pilot at A and B to the apron frequency and at D, E and F to the ground frequency.

The tower is responsible for ensuring that the runway, radar and/or wake turbulence separation is maintained. A go-around must be instructed immediately if the separation is not adhered to.

Low Visibility Procedures (LVP)

Erfurt Airport only has a CAT III on runway 27, which means that runway 27 must be used for low visibility procedures.

Departing traffic

Runway, radar and/or wake turbulence separation must be maintained at all times. After the aircraft has taken off, the pilot switches to the departure frequency independently.

Low Visibility Procedures (LVP)

Low visibility take-offs are authorised at the following runway visibility ranges (RVR):
