Tower

Ingolstadt Tower is a military station and is responsible for airfield control at Ingolstadt Airport.

Ingolstadt has a D-CTR and military departure procedures. Enroute clearances must be issued by Munich Radar and then relayed to the departure by Ingolstadt Tower.

Runways

Preferred runway for civilian traffic and military traffic is the southern runway 24L/06R. Runway 24R/06L should only be used by Military aircraft or UAVs.

Airbus Defence and Space

The apron of Airbus Defence and Space is located in the southwestern part of Ingolstadt airport. It’s a separate Apron that is under the jurisdiction of Airbus and is connected by six Gates to taxiway S. The Apron itself is uncontrolled and aircraft will call for Taxi with the requested Gate on which they want to leave the Apron. Normally the gates are used by the following types:

Gate 1: Airbus Beluga XL
Gate 2: Airbus Beluga XL/ST, A400M, E3 AWACS
Gate 3: -
Gate 4: TOR, EUFI
Gate 5 +6: Towing of TOR/EUFI, Museum Aircraft of the Messerschmitt Museum

Beluga Operation

The Airbus Beluga visits Ingolstadt frequently and has two designated parking positions on the Airbus Apron. The most frequently used position can be accessed via Gate 1, this position however can only be used for the Beluga XL!
The second position can be accessed via Gate 2 and is suitable for the Beluga ST and Beluga XL.
The Beluga is not allowed to start its engines in the vicinity of the Airbus Apron, it needs to pushback onto TWY S before starting it's engines - this procedure applies to both parking positions.

If active, Ingo Radar may use the ROKIL sector up to 4000 ft and without maintaining lateral distance to the boundary. DMNL shall apply 3 NM lateral distance to the airspace boundary.
