Delivery

Responsibilities

München Delivery is responsible for issuing enroute and startup clearances for departing IFR traffic in Munich. In addition, Delivery receives the first call of departing VFR flights.

The startup and enroute clearance can be given together in one radio message. Afterwards, Delivery hands over the pilots to the next responsible station (depending on the manned stations, usually Apron 1/2/3).

If startup clearance can not be issued together with enroute clearance, the pilot shall standby on Delivery frequency for startup. Afterwards, pilots shall be handed over to the next station, too. If possible, the pilot shall be informed about an expected time for startup if the expected delay exceeds 10 minutes. 

München Delivery is additionally issuing startup clearances for VFR departures. The VFR flight makes his initial call on Delivery frequency, receives startup clearance and will be handed over to the next responsible station.

SID Assignment

The table below offers an overview of the SID assignment rules..

Departures on the preferred SID are released, clearance can be issued without further coordination. Should traffic be cleared on a non-preferred SID, Delivery shall get approval from Tower prior issuing enroute clearance.

Restrictions exist on all SIDs, thus the phrase "Climb via SID to (level)" shall be used.

Should a pilot report unable to fly a SID, Delivery shall initiate coordination with Tower and Approach (Low sector) about an alternating departure procedure (e.g. vectored departure). Usually the instruction for a vectored departure will be "Fly runway track, climb to Flight Level 70".

Traffic parking on aprons 6-9, especially cargo, should be cleared onto SIDs off the southern runway (RWY 08R/26L) to minimize taxi times. 

All departures: Contact Muenchen Radar when advised by Tower!

TULSI-Departure

Pilots flying from EDDM to LOWI shall file this route: "TURBU Y107 RTT". If a route via TULSI has been filed, it can be cleared nevertheless after obtaining approval from Approach.

A TULSI departure to any other destination than LOWI should be recleared onto another SID (possible reclearance solutions are included in the Quicksheet), however can be cleared nevertheless after obtaining approval from Approach. 

Noise Abatement Procedures

Aircraft of Wake Turbulence Category "H" and "J" departing off runway 26L and flying a SID via OTT shall be cleared onto SIDs with designator "W" between 22h and 06h local time.
Departures of aircraft category B747 shall be cleared of runway 08L/26R between 22h and 06h local time. During single (use of) runway operations the active departure runway can be used nevertheless.

Special Procedures

IFR Visual Departures off runway 08R

During active runway 08R, single and two-engine propelled aircraft as well as type DHC7, who fly a SID via VOR OTT (OBAXA#P, MERSI#P), can be offered a visual departure off runway 08R. Following criteria shall be met:

  • the pilots accepts or requests the procedure,
  • ceiling not below 3400 ft (summer) resp. 3700 ft (winter),
  • only during the day,
  • initial climb restricted to 5000 ft,
  • take-off run commences from full length (intersections B1-B3).

Phraseology example:

"[...] after departure turn right direct OTT, climb to *altitude* 5000 feet, maintain own visual reference to terrain until passing 3400/3700 feet"

Apron

Areas of Responsibility Apron

The Munich Apron can be divided into three areas of responsibility:

Sector Login Station ID Frequency
 AoR
Apron 1 EDDM_1_GND MP 121.780
 Apron 1, 6-8 (GAT), 9 (Cargo) and Maintenance
Apron 2 EDDM_2_GND MP2 121.710
 Apron 2 and 12
Apron 3 EDDM_3_GND MP3 121.930
 Apron 3, 5, 35 and 13 (GAT)

If more than one Apron is staffed, Delivery must also be staffed. If only one Apron is staffed, it covers all other Apron stations. If Aprons 1 and 2 are staffed, Apron 2 covers Apron 3.

Handovers Apron - Ground

Depending on the runways in use, Apron only gives taxi clearance up to the respective entry and then transfers the traffic to the next station shortly before the aircraft reaches it.

Orange/Yellow/Blue lines

Taxiways W1, C3, E1, D3, D6 and E3 not only have the standard "yellow line", but also colored lines, "orange line" and "blue line" (see charts). These colored lines have limitations regarding the wingspan of the aircraft and should always be used for pushback or taxiing if the aircraft meets the limitations and the pilot is able to do so. Especially with the use of these colored lines, traffic can be handled as efficiently as possible.

Taxiway restrictions

This chart provides an overview:

eddm-apn-2024.png

Taxi Restrictions Apron München

Common aircraft types and their maximum wingspan can be found in this list:

Max Wingspan A/C Types
30 m AT72 / CRJX / DH8D / RJ1H / etc.
36 m B739 / A321 / BCS3 / E195 / etc.
52 m B753 / B763 / A306 / etc.
65 m A333 / A346 / A35K / B744 / B77W / B78X / etc.
80 m A124 / A388 / B748 / etc.
>80 m A225

Usage of the entries

The different entries are used differently depending on the runways in use.

08-Operations:
26-Operations:

Taxi clearances deviating from the above-mentioned standard procedures are possible after coordination with the station responsible for the ground sector concerned.

Gate assignment

Gates are usually assigned automatically. Lufthansa and Star Alliance Airlines park on Aprons 2 and 3, other airlines on Apron 1. The general aviation parking area (GAT) is located to the east of Apron 3 on Apron 13. Business aviation can also use aprons 6 to 8, and if a pilot's scenery does not have anything else, resort to Apron 5.

Special procedures

The following special procedures are generally not to be used for low visibility operations. If visibility is 200 meters or more on the apron, taxiing into parking positions from CTR2 is permitted, but not below.

Swingover

A "swingover" refers to the immediate change of taxiways. This "swingover" can also take place without following the taxi lanes.

DLH123, swing over on E2, taxi to Entry S8 via E2.
180-Turn

For example, an aircraft taxiing south on W2 can make a 180° turn to the left onto E2 and then taxi north on E2. This can also be applied to the opposite compass directions and can be done on taxi lines W2, CTR2 and E2. If the wingspan is less than or equal to 36 metres, this procedure can also be applied to blue and ornage lines.

EDDM - München Airport

Ground

Area of Responsibility Ground

Ground can be divided into two sectors:

Sector Login Station ID Frequency
 Area of Responsibility
North Ground EDDM_N_GND MGN 121.980
 Taxiways N and M, all intersections of runway 08L/26R
South Ground EDDM_S_GND MGS 121.830
 Taxiways S and T, all intersections of runway 08R/26L

If only one ground station is staffed, it covers the AoR of the other ground station as well.

Ground and Apron, resp. two Ground may only be staffed if Delivery is staffed, too.

Ground is usually only staffed after Tower, Apron and Delivery are already staffed.

Handover

Ground issues a taxi clearance to an entry or a holdingpoint and hands the aircraft over to the next responsible station at the clearance limit.

MGN MP N1, N2
MGN MP2 N3, N4
MGN MTN A1-A15
MGS MP S1-S6
MGS MP2 S7, S8
MGS MTS B1-B15

The handover from Ground to Tower can be instructed as "Contact" or "Standby for". It should be coordinated at the beginning of a session how Tower wants to receive handovers from ground.

Contact München Tower *on* (frequency)
Standby for München Tower *on* (frequency)
Departing traffic

Ground receives departing traffic from Apron depending to operation direction at the respective entries. Ground then issues a taxi clearance to a suitable holding point of the departure runway. Ground shall create an efficient departure sequence by assigning a suitable runway intersection, taking SID, WTC and other factors into account. The handover from Ground to Tower should be made as soon as possible.

Arriving traffic

Incoming traffic should actually call Ground on its own after leaving the runway. Unfortunately, this rarely works on VATSIM, so incoming traffic is usually handed over by Tower. The traffic receives taxi clearance from Ground to one of the entries as a transfer point. The choice of the entry depends on the planned parking position (Terminal 1 or 2) and the operating direction. Shortly before reaching the entry, the traffic is transferred to the responsible Apron controller.

Ground movement control

Taxi

In order to optimize the flow of traffic, the following taxi routing is recommended:

Holding Points

The efficient sequencing of traffic at the holding points allows the tower to make optimum use of the available capacity at all times. To achieve this, Ground must route the traffic to the holding points correctly sorted in advance.

Sorting by SID

Departures should be processed in such a way that different SIDs depart one after the other, so that a closer spacing can be used (3NM on different SID vs 5NM on same SID). 
The three holding points at the beginning of the departure runway should each be used for a different SID, allowing Tower to create an efficient mix of different SIDs.

The goal is to avoid having traffic at the front of all holding points that will fly the same SID.

The most used SIDs in the northern RWY-System often are GIVMI and INPUD,
the most used SIDs in the southern RWY-System often are MERSI, KIRDI and TURBU.

Intersection Departures

Pilots have to prepare the following intersections for departure, depending on the aircraft category:

Aircraft Category
 08L TORA 08R TORA 26R TORA 26L TORA
Heavy+ A1/A2 4000 m B1/B2 4000 m A14/A15 4000 m B14/B15 4000 m
Medium Jet A3 3800 m B3 3800 m A13 3800 m B13 3800 m
Light Jet A4 2820 m B4 2840 m A12 2780 m B12 2820 m
Turboprop A6 2200 m B6 2220 m A10 2260 m B10 2200 m

These intersections can be assigned to pilots without prior consent. If an intersection departure is not possible for any reason, the pilot must actively report "unable".

Tower Positions

These two Tower Positions exist at München:

Sector Login Station ID Frequency
 Area of Responsibility
North Tower EDDM_N_TWR MTN 118.705
 Runway 26R/08L
South Tower EDDM_S_TWR MTS 120.505

With both Tower Positions staffed, the controlzone is split abeam the (physical) tower parallel to the runways. North Tower is responsible for the northern part of the CTR, South Tower for the southern part.

If only one tower is staffed, he also takes over the tasks of the other tower. If no Ground is staffed, Tower also takes over the neighbouring Ground AoR (North Tower the North Ground, South Tower the South Ground).

(or as coordinated individually)

 VFR traffic
Departing Traffic

Tower receives departing traffic at the runway holding points already pre-sorted by the ground. This can be done either with the instruction "Contact München Tower *on* (frequency)" or "Standby for München Tower *on* (frequency)". The type of handover must be coordinated with Ground in advance.

The tower transfers departing traffic to EDDM_NL_APP for SIDs departing northbound and to EDDM_SL_APP for SIDs departing southbound. The frequencies 123.905 and 127.955 are to be used here. The handover should always take place as early as possible, but only if separation to other traffic is ensured.

There is an exception for parallel departures (lateral distance less than 3 NM), where the handover only takes place as soon as one of the departures turns away from the runway centerline.

Arriving Traffic

Tower receives arriving traffic on final approach from Arrival, transfer of communication should not be made before passing the respective Final Approach Fix/Point.

Arriving traffic is instructed to contact Ground on their own initiative after leaving the runway. As this rarely works on Vatsim, it is usually necessary for inbounds to receive a handoff to ground from the tower as soon as they have left the runway correctly (behind the holding point line).

Arriving traffic which is vacating via the High Speed Turnoff directly connected to the Entry used for inbounds (e.g. A9 during RWY26R), should be coordinated between Tower and Ground so that traffic may remain on Tower frequency and receives taxi clearance by Tower.

VFR Traffic

In München, there are two VFR routes for entering and leaving the control zone, the HOTEL (south) and FOXTROTT (north) routes. There is also a published holding procedure to the north and south of the aerodrome. If required, entry and exit via the Isar (south/east) or the A92 highway (east/west) is recommended to be used, as well.

Depending on the approach route, incoming VFR traffic shall call either the North or South Tower. Traffic calling on the "wrong" frequency shall be identified (e.g. by setting an appropriate squawk), receive RWY in use and QNH before giving handover to the "correct" frequency or giving further clearance after coordination.

VFR crossings should be handed over to the other Tower at the AoR border. After coordination, one Tower can also keep the crossing VFR traffic on his frequency. To transfer VFR traffic between the runways to the other Tower or to delay it until there is a gap, it is advisable to circle around the tower.

The aerodrome circuit of Oberschleissheim (EDNX) leads through the München control zone. Traffic in the aerodrome circuit shall be in radio contact with Schleissheim Radio and does not have to report to the tower or monitor its frequency. Furthermore, the München control zone must be VMC.

SSR Codes

The following non-discrete transponder (group) codes can be issued by München Tower for VFR traffic. If required, a discrete transponder code can be assigned:

Mode A-Code
 Verwendung
 Darstellung
6305

 if required (discrete codes)
 TWR
Helicopter Traffic

Helicopters are to be treated as normal VFR traffic. Three helipads are located to the west of Apron 6 and two further helipads are located on Apron 12 to the north of D6 if required. Larger rotorcraft can also be parked on Apron 6 next to the helipads. Direct landing on the helipads is not permitted. Helicopters stationed at the airport however, such as those of the Bavarian State Police (ICAO CODE: EDW), can take off and land on the helipad in both directions. All other helicopters take off and land on the runways.

Operating Direction and use of the Runways

Choice of operating direction
Use of Runways

The two runways 08/26 in Munich can be used independently of each other. Nevertheless, in case of various conditions such as traffic volume, weather, etc., sometimes only one runway can be used for take-off and landing or one runway for take-off and the other for landing (see below).

If departures always use the preferred runway (and SID), take-off clearances can be issued on both runways simultaneously and independently of each other. Particular attention should be paid to departures of cargo aircraft from the southern runway flying northwards (INPUD, GIVMI, etc.). These are no longer independent of departures on the northern runway, meaning that no departures may take place there at this time until separation is ensured.

Approaches are also independent of each other and ILS approaches can even take place in parallel. If the controller [during a parallel approach using the ILS] detects course deviations in one of the approaching aircraft that reduce the lateral separation, not only the deviating aircraft is requested to perform an avoidance manoeuvre, but also the aircraft on the parallel approach, even if it is on the correct final approach.

Examples for Runway Configurations
Change of Operating Direction

Arrivals

Separation on Final
Missed Approaches

Tower is responsible for separation of Missed Approaches to all other flights subject to separation within CTR München. In case of a missed approach, the respective "Low" controller (DMNL / DMSL) is to be informed immediately. Callsign, planned Runway and reason for the missed approach shall be communicated to Low. Low may restrict following departures as "subject to release" (rf. Departure Release).

Missed Approaches should generally follow the published Missed Approach Procedure, as it is independent to departures of the parallel Runway. After coordination with Low, alternate instructions may be instructed to the pilot (e.g. vector on the downwind, runway track, etc.)

Departures

Separation between Departures

For departures that depart via the same SID or via the SID combination KIRDI/BIBAG, the previous departure must be at least 5 NM on the SID (track miles) from the end of the runway before the following departure flies over the departure end of runway.

The performance of the aircraft types must also be taken into account in order to prevent a loss of spacing due to different speeds.

Wake Turbulence Separation shall be applied at all times!

Intersection Departures

Following table shows the Intersection and TORA pilots have to expect. Deviations from this scheme always require the prior consent of the pilot.

ATYP
 08L TORA 08R TORA 26R TORA 26L TORA
Heavy+ A1/A2 4000 m B1/B2 4000 m A14/A15 4000 m B14/B15 4000 m
Medium Jet A3 3800 m B3 3800 m A13 3800 m B13 3800 m
Light Jet A4 2820 m B4 2840 m A12 2780 m B12 2820 m
Turboprop A6 2200 m B6 2220 m A10 2260 m B10 2200 m

Intersections A5, A8, A9 as well as B7, B8, B11 are not permitted for lining up on the runway. Intersections A7 and B9 are not to be used in general.

Conditional Line Up on Intersections

To guarantee the correct identification of Traffic during a conditional Line-Up on Intersections, which are not in a right angle to the runway, a traffic information and a confirmation that traffic is in sight is required prior to line up clearance.
This is not necessary for conditional line ups from the beginning of the runway (e.g. A1-A3)

Specifically, traffic shall be reported "in sight" before a conditional clearance is issued for the following intersections: A4/A6, B4/B6 or A10/A12 and B10/B12.

C: DLH123, traffic, A320, 2NM final runway 26R, report traffic in sight.

P: DLH123, traffic in sight.

C: DLH123, behind mentioned traffic line-up RWY 26R, behind.

As with all traffic information, a more detailed description of the traffic is not absolutely necessary, but can be helpful for the pilot.

Noise Abatement between 2200 and 0600 lcl

During nighttime, departures are not to be cleared below FL70.

Low Visibility Procedures

The ILS in München is certified for CAT IIIb operations.

Low Visibility Operations are conducted in Single Use of RWY OPS, individual approaches may deviate from this.

Active LVP shall be broadcasted in the ATIS by adding &lvp to the ATIS Maker URL:

LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES IN OPERATION CAT II AND III AVAILABLE

Separation during LVP

Arrivals to Arrivals

München applies the Landing Clearance Line (LCL) procedure of preceeding aircraft of WTC Medium (M) and Light (L), which means: If an aircraft of WTC Medium or Light has vacated the runway, passed the LCL and is still in movement the next arrival may be overflying the threshold. If the preceeding arrival has not yet passed the LCL a Go Around shall be instructed.

Aircraft of WTC Heavy (H) need to vacated the CAT II/III Holding Point before the next arrival may pass 2 NM on final. If the next arrival passes 2 NM final and the Heavy did not vacate the CAT II/III Holding Point, a Go Around shall be instructed.

Aircraft of WTC Super (J) need to reach TWY N respective TWY S before the next arrival may pass 2 NM on final. If the next arrival passes 2 NM final and the Super did not reach TWY N/S, a Go Around shall be instructed.

Arrivals of aircraft WTC Super are recommended to be assigned the Southern Runway, even during 26 where normally used for departures.

Recommended spacing on final during LVP:

WTC preceeding A/C
 Spacing
Light (L) / Medium (M) 3,5 NM
Heavy (H) 6 NM
Super (J) 8-10 NM
Departures

Between two departures full Runway separation shall be applied.

During use of Guided Take Off it shall furthermore be ensured that a preceeding departure has overflown the Localizer or a preceeding arrival has vacated the CAT II/III Holding Point before the succeeding aircraft starts it's take off roll. 

EDDM - München Airport

Arrival

Sectorization

As per the reference drawing below, the München TMA airspace can be divided into four sectors. The two feeder positions (Callsign "Arrival", formerly "Director", DMNAT and DMSAT) do not have their own airspace assigned, but share airspace and implicitly receive a release when airplanes are sent to them. A portion of the München TMA airspace is of class G, thus not subject to air traffic control services. MVA (minimum vectoring altitudes) can be found in the published DFS charts (e.g. via chartfox.org). 

EDDMAPPSECTOR.pngMünchen Arrival Sectorization

The following station identifiers are used in the overview:

Station Identifier
 Euroscope ID Station Frequency
DMNL
 DMNL München North Low 123.905
DMNH
 DMNH München North High 128.030
DMSH

DMSL
 DMSH München South High 120.780
DMNAT
 DMND München Arrival North 118.830
DMSAT
 DMSD München Arrival South 132.305

DMNH is the primary station and to be staffed first. Without any further stations online, this station covers the complete TMA. The second station to be staffed is Arrival North (DMNAT).

After DMNH and DMNAT are staffed, there are two strategies for further staffing:

Thereafter, the remaining stations can be staffed in any order. Note that in the combination (DMNH, DMNL, DMSH), DMSH staffs the southern half of the TMA, DMNL is restricted to the upper half.

Cross-couple (XC) all frequencies of the sectors your station covers (apart from the Feeder)!
As stand-alone DMNH, for example, you should cross-couple DMNL, DMSL, DMSH; as DMNAT (without DMSAT), cross-couple DMSAT as well.

DMSAT is only to be staffed, after DMNL and DMSL are staffed. Two-feeder independent operations are in effect. 

Arrivals

STARs

The STARs in München have their clearance limit at the first waypoint and are usually not used. The only exceptions are lost communication situations and non-RNAV flights. The procedures lead pilots from the clearance limits to the initial approach fixes of the approach procedures (MIQ in the north, OTT in the south).

Transitions

To bring planes onto a controlled arrival procedure within the TMA, clear pilots to fly the RNAV transitions starting at the STAR clearance limits and bringing planes into an up- and/or downwind. High and Low can clear arrivals to any of the DMXXX waypoints on the transitions to generate or reduce track miles without prior coordination. Should the direct be situated beyond DM425/DM454 (26 ops) or DM425/DM455 (08 ops), coordination is highly suggested to avoid conflicting with crossing departures.

The München procedure package also includes CDO (continuous descent operations) transitions that can be cleared in coordination with center. The usage of the CDO transitions is only recommended during periods of low traffic.

Approach procedures

München offers a CATIIIB certified ILS approach for either runway in either direction, as well as published RNP, and NDB approach procedures. ILS is the preferred approach type.
Visual approaches for IFR traffic are generally not permitted, except for visual approaches on final.

Two-feeder operations

Final approaches into München can be managed by one or two Feeder positions. Before opening the second feeder position, DMNL, DMSL, DMNH, and DMNAT need to be staffed. Staffing the second Feeder position is not(!) required to operate parallel independent approaches. If two feeders are staffed, DMNL and DMSL are responsible for assigning the runways. Planes on the northern downwind use the northern runway, planes on the southern downwind the southern runway. Exceptions are possible (cargo), but absolutely have to be coordinated in time.

To keep the amount of required coordination low, we employ prescribed intercept areas and intercept altitudes.
There is the low final, where planes intercept the localizer at 5000ft (or 4000ft), and the high final where planes are to intercept the localizer at 6000ft (or 5000ft). During 26 operations, the low final is north, during 08, it is in the south. The low final is shown with the additional intercept "box" along the extended centerline:

Noise abatement between 2200 and 0600 lcl

Between the time of 2200 and 2300 lcl, airplanes may not be cleared to descend below 6000ft, and between 2300 and 0600 lcl, not below FL70/7000ft until they:

Planes are to be guided to intercept the glide slope at 5000ft or above.

Arriving traffic is to be handed over to München Arrival at 220 kt IAS. Higher speeds are acceptable depending on the traffic situation.

Traffic is to be handed over with the following conditions: 

Position RWY 26 RWY 08 Release
Downwind N ↓ 5000 ft ↓ 6000 ft fully released at transfer of communication 
Downwind S ↓ 6000 ft ↓ 5000 ft

After coordination with München Arrival, High and Low can hand over arriving traffic on the base leg or a dog leg under the following conditions:

Position RWY 26 RWY 08 Release
Base/Dog-leg N
Crossing of the downwind		 5000 ft 6000 ft fully released at transfer of communication
Base/Dog-leg S
Crossing of the downwind		 6000 ft 5000 ft

All aircraft transferred to Arrival shall be issued the current local QNH and cleared to an altitude on local QNH. 

Arrival to Tower

Arrival generally is to only hand over arrivals that are established on a published arrival procedure to tower. Visual final approaches are to be coordinated with Tower.

Separation between two arrivals on the same arrival procedure or runway shall at all times equate to or surpass the applicable radar and wake turbulence separation. Arrival shall monitor the departing traffic situation at the runway holding points and increase separation on final to allow departures to use the resulting gaps. Notwithstanding, tower can always request specific and further increased separation on final.

Separation recommendations during LVP

During Low Visibility Procedures, increased separation required for runway movements is to be established on the final as well. Experience has shown these separation minima work well between two arrivals:

WTC preceding aircraft Separation
Light (L) / Medium (M) 3,5 NM
Heavy (H) 6 NM
Super (J) 10 NM

Departure Agreements

Low to High

Departures on the GIVMI, INPUD, EVIVA, MIQ, ANKER, AKINI, OBAXA, TURBU, and VAVOR departures are transferred from Low to Center climbing to FL 150/190. Low shall ensure separation to aircraft within the High sectors at all times. 

All other departures are cleared by Low to climb to FL90 and are sent to High (climbing). After coordination with High, Low can also send these Departures directly to Center.

High to Center

High can generally clear departures direct to the SID end fix. For same routes, if a minimum separation of 5 NM cannot be established at time of transfer, the departure aircraft are to be handed over on different flight levels. For differing routes, 3 NM separation are acceptable as well.

Exceptionally, High can transfer departures to Center on a heading. In this case, pilots shall be instructed to report their heading to the Center controller during their initial call.

These procedures can likewise be applied to departures handed over directly from Low to Center.

Gate Assignments

Apron 1

The passenger terminal and the GAT are located on apron two. All passenger and sports aircraft are parked here.

Stands Usage
101 - 111 Airlines; aircraft that do not require a jetway
112 - 121 Mainly business jets and private aircraft
126 - 130 Airlines (Schengen); aircraft that require a jetway
132 - 136 Airlines (non-Schengen); aircraft that require a jetway
137 - 143 General Aviation (GAT)

At stands 101-111, aircraft are usually parked with their nose to the south. Thus they are taxi out stands. Aircraft with their own stairs (e.g. CRJ) are also parked at stand 130 and handled by "walkboarding"

Apron 2

Apron 2 is mainly used by cargo aircraft that do not fly in the DHL network, but in some cases also by aircraft from the DHL Group. Parking stands are available for every aircraft category.

Apron 3

There is a parking area and a hangar for aircraft of the airline Volga-Dnepr-Airlines.

The virtual airline "Leipzig Air" also has a fictional apron here. This is not available in the ground layout and is only released when explicitly requested by the pilot.

Apron 4/5

Only aircraft operating flights within the DHL network park on apron 4. There are several parking positions for each aircraft type. There are also restrictions for some parking positions due to the maximum authorised wingspan of the aircraft. All restrictions are implemented in the latest version of the Groundradar plug-in.

The following airlines mainly fly to Leipzig as part of the DHL network:

ICAO-Code Airline Callsign
ABR ASL Airlines Ireland CONTRACT
BCS European Air Transport POSTMAN
BOX AeroLogic GERMAN CARGO
CKS Kalitta Air CONNIE
DHA DHL Air Austria YELLOW TAIL
DHK DHL Air UK WORLD EXPRESS
DHX DHL Middle East DILMUN
GTI Atlas Air GIANT
MNB MNG Airlines BLACK SEA
PAC Polar Air Cargo POLAR
SOO Southern Air SOUTHERN AIR
SOP Solinair SOLINAIR
SRR Star Air WHITESTAR

High Intensity Runway Operation (HIRO)

At night (between 2200lcl and 0600lcl) all B752/A306/B763 on the southern runway are expected to vacate via S6 (RWY08L) or S4 (RWY26L).  Aircraft that are parking on Apron 4/5 will vacate via S6/S4 cross T and hold short of V unless otherwise instructed by Tower (this only applies during HIRO).

Be careful when assigning intersection H5 with runway 26 in operation, as nose-to-nose conflicts can quickly develop here if an arriving aircraft vacates and a departing aircraft taxies onto the intersection.

If you are unsure whether you can assign the intersection, coordinate with the tower controller as he can instruct the arriving aircraft to vacate later if necessary.

The same applies during HIRO operations on taxiway V and T, as the traffic vacates, crosses T directly and holds short of V without having to contact ground, which can easily lead to cleared conflicts.

EDDP - Leipzig Airport

Tower

Tower positions

In Leipzig there are the following two tower positions:

Station Station ID Login
 Frequency
Tower North
 PTN
 EDDP_N_TWR
 125.955
Tower South
 PTS
 EDDP_S_TWR
 121.105

If both tower positions are staffed, the CTR is split in half in the middle, parallel to the runways. The north tower is responsible for the northern half of the CTR, the south tower for the southern half.

If only one tower is staffed, it also takes over the duties of the other tower and cross couples both frequencies.

Departing traffic

Leipzig Tower receives all departing aircraft at the holding point. Once they are airborne they have to be handed over manually to the corresponding departure frequency:

126.065 126.175
PENEM NEVKO
ORTAG

GOLAT
-

DRN

There is an exception for parallel departures (lateral distance less than 3 NM), where the handover only takes place as soon as one of the departures turns away from the extended centerline.

Parallel departures

To use parallel departures the following criteria must be met:

It is possible that aircraft with a good climb performance reach theirn initial climb (FL70) before one of them turns away from the extended centerline. To prevent an aircraft from levelling out, you can request a higher level from the responsible approach controller.

S_TWR always needs a release from N_TWR for departures to the north (ORTAG, PENEM)

N_TWR always needs a release from S_TWR for departures to the south (NEVKO, GOLAT, DRN)

Arriving traffic

Leipzig Tower receives all arriving aircraft one of the published approach procedures unless otherwise coordinated (e.g. visual approach). When the aircraft vacates the runway, they must be handed over to the ground controller.

RECAT-EU procedures

Leipzig is one of the airports at which the DFS approved the use of the RECAT-EU procedures.

The use of them is only allowed for the category "Lower Heavy/Upper Heavy" and "Lower Heavy/Lower Heavy", these are the aircraft types: 

Upper Heavy
Lower Heavy
A330 A300
A340 A310
A350 B703
B747 B757
B777 B767
B787 B783
IL96 C135

DC10

DC85

IL76

MD11

TU22

TU95

According to the procedure 2 of the above aircraft types only have to be separated 3NM (wake turbulence) unless another method of separation (e.g. radar separation) requires more. 

The pilot can refuse this procedure at any time, but shall inform you early. 

Caution between Upper-Heavy and Lower-Heavy! The "Lower Heavy" must be preceding! 
Mediums are excluded from this procedure! 

Fore more information: Eurocontrol

Modes of Operation

The mode of approach is specified by the approach controller and coordinated to the tower.
Leipzig is authorised for the use of the following types of separation between aircraft on different finals:

Independent parallel approaches

When using independent parallel approaches both finals are completely independent.

To use parallel independent approaches, the following criteria must be met:

Consider independent operations and ensure separation for non-persition approaches!

Dependent parallel approaches

When using dependent parallel approaches 2 aircraft on different finals must be seperated at least 1,5NM. If the separation becomes less than 1,5NM it counts as a loss of separation which has to be resolved immediately.

To use parallel dependent approaches, the following criteria must be met:

Staggered approaches

When using staggered approaches all aircraft under IFR on any approach have to be separated at least 3NM to any other aircraft under IFR on the adjacent approach

Segregated parallel operations

When using segregated parallel operations one runway is used exclusively for arrivals and the other one exclusively for departures. This mode of operation decreases the amount of traffic that can be handled and thus might seem unnecessary. If it is used during LVP it actually makes sense and increases the amount of traffic that can be handled. 

Staggered approaches are preferred, but there is no reason not to use other modes of operation if the required criteria are met!

Preferred operating direction

The preferred operating direction is 26 up to a tailwind component of 5 knots. High-altitude winds must also be taken into observation.

Control zone

The Leipzig control zone extends roughly between the cities of Halle and Leipzig. The vertical limit of the CTR is 2500ft MSL. Entry and exit into the control zone is via the mandatory reporting points:

Traffic circuits should not be authorised between the runways.

EDDP_CTR.pngControllzone Leipzig - © openflightmaps.org

Handovers between the towers should take place between the runways. A transfer point (e. g. circling) would be the tower.

High Intensity Runway Operations (HIRO)

Due to the higher traffic volume at night, pilots are expected to vacate the runway between 2200lcl and 0600lcl via the following high-speed taxiways:

Aircraft type
 Runway 08R Runway 26L

B752 / A306 / B763

ALL MEDIUM (Jet and Prop)

 S6 (2550m/7382ft) S4 (1850m/6070ft)

Aircraft parked at Apron 4/5 cross taxiway T and shall hold short of V.

Low Visibility Procedures (LVP)

In Leipzig, the ILS is authorised for all runways up to CATIIIb. 

During low-visibility operations, single-use of runway OPS shall be used (egregated parallel operations); individual approaches may deviate from this.

To broadcast the information via ATIS that LVP are active, the ATIS maker URL is supplemented by "&lvp", which appears in the ATIS:

LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES IN OPERATION CAT II AND III AVAILABLE

Scenery problems

In the flight simulators, there are sometimes differences in the various sceneries compared to the Euroscope ground layout. The biggest problem here is the old southern runway, which is still present in the FSX default scenery. It runs parallel to taxiway N between H1 and H5. Furthermore, the old southern runway minimally intersects the new runway. In such cases, you should assign the north runway to the pilots, as this is displayed correctly in all simulators.

EDDP - Leipzig Airport

Arrival - Thüringen Low

This article is currently being revised and translated. Please report any disagreements and errors within the article to LM FIR München.

Sectorization

München Radar sectors Thüringen Low Nord and Thüringen Low Süd (EDDP_TRN/TRS_APP) are responsible for all arrivals and departures from/to Leipzig/Halle (EDDP) and Erfurt-Weimar (EDDE). 
Additionally, the station EDDP_TRS_APP covers sector Sachsen Low (SAS), handling all movements at Dresden (EDDC).

Requirement for staffing the sectors is proficient knowledge of the SOPs for airports EDDP, EDDE and EDDC, as top-down service shall be provided at those airports. Besides those controlled airports, the uncontrolled airfield Leipzig-Altenburg (EDAC) lays within the sector, offering IFR procedures and is therefore sorrounded by a RMZ.

It is possible to staff two additional stations within Leipzig TMA for delegating Director tasks to separate stations: Leipzig Arrival Nord/Süd (EDDP_ND/SD_APP) which do not hold a sector themselves but receive a full release for traffic being sent to them.

The sector dimensions and divisions for the approach sectors underlying EBG Ost are shown in this chart:

sectors-edmmost-low.png

Approach sectors underlying EBG Ost

Der Luftraum

Leipzig/Halle (EDDP)

Um den Flughafen Leipzig/Halle befindet sich ein Luftraum Delta (nicht-CTR), welcher in verschiedene Sektoren unterteilt ist. Die Obergrenze dieses Luftraums ist FL75. Das bedeutet, dass zwischen dem Luftraum Delta und dem ab FL100 beginnenden Luftraum Charlie sich nochmals ein Luftraum Echo befindet, damit VFR Verkehr in hohen Flughöhen den Flughafen passieren kann. Um trotzdem den IFR Verkehr schützen zu können, wurde um den Luftraum Delta eine TMZ errichtet. Somit muss VFR Verkehr in diesem "Echo-Band" selbstständig einen Squawk eindrehen (4404) und Hörbereitschaft auf der Frequenz herstellen. Der Lotse muss nicht gerufen werden. Durch diesen Listening-Squawk weiß der Lotse, dass der Pilot zuhört und kann ihn bei Bedarf kontaktieren. Des Weiteren gibt es mehrere D(HX) und TMZ(HX), welche je nach Pistenrichtung zu- oder abgeschaltet werden. Die zugeschalteten Sektoren befinden sich immer auf Interceptseite. Die Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung für Airspace D (250 kts) darf nicht aufgehoben werden und an- sowie abfliegende Luftfahrzeuge sind stets im geschützten Luftraum zu führen (TMZ oder Airspace C/D).

EDDP_Approach_Luftraum.pngLuftraum D um Leipzig/Halle

Erfurt-Weimar (EDDE)

Im Gegensatz zu Leipzig/Halle besitzt der Flughafen Erfurt-Weimar keinen Luftraum Delta oder Charlie. Aufgrund des niedrigen Verkehrsaufkommens verfügt Erfurt-Weimar über einen TMZ(HX) Bereich, welcher nur für einzelne IFR-Flugzeuge aktiv geschalten wird. Hier ist der einzudrehende Squawk 4410.

EDDE_Luftraum.pngTMZ um Erfurt

Abfliegender Verkehr

Leipzig/Halle

Da parallele Abflüge in Leipzig möglich sind, übergibt der Tower Flugzeuge erst, nachdem das erste Flugzeuge vom Pistenkurs abdreht. Der Initial-Climb auf allen SIDs beträgt FL070. Der Verlauf der Abflugrouten bestimmt, welcher Arrivalsektor welche Departures bekommt:

Thüringen Low Nord

(EDDP_N_APP)

Thüringen Low Süd

(EDDP_S_APP)
ORTAG, ODLUN, MAG, UMBAL, RUDAK NEVKO, GOLAT, DRN

Des Weiteren muss sichergestellt werden, dass Departures und Arrivals ausreichend separiert sind, da sich ihre Wege kreuzen (s. Abschnitt Arrivalroutes). Die Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung für Airspace D (250 kts) darf nicht aufgehoben werden, abfliegende Luftfahrzeuge sind stets im geschützten Luftraum zu führen (TMZ oder Airspace C/D).

Abfliegende Flugzeuge dürfen immer zum letzten Wegpunkt der SID freigegeben werden. Abflüge über GOLAT dürfen bis ALOSO und über NEVKO bis BAMKI freigegeben werden. Hierbei ist besonders im Sachsen Low auf potentielle Konflikte zu achten.

Erfurt-Weimar

Abflüge aus Erfurt müssen vor dem Start individuell mit dem Tower koordiniert werden. Grund hierfür ist die geringe Distanz zu den Sektorgrenzen von EDGG_HEF_CTR und EDDN_FRK_APP.

Übergaben

Thüringen Low übergibt startende Flugzeuge aus Leipzig wie folgt:

Sektor Wegpunkte Übergabehöhen
Gera (EDMM_GER_CTR) NEVKO, GOLAT FL190
Halle (EDMM_HAL_CTR) ORTAG FL190
Sachsen Low (EDDC__SASAPP) DRN FL150
Börde (EDWW_B_CTR) ODLUN, MAG, UMBAL FL120
Fläming (EDWW_F_CTR) RUDAK FL130

Sektor Gera und Sektor Meissen covern sich gegenseitig, falls einer dieser Sektoren nicht online ist.

Thüringen Low übergibt startende Flugzeuge aus Erfurt wie folgt:

Sektor Wegpunkte Übergabehöhen
Kitzingen (EDGG_KTG_CTR) ERSIL FL140
Franken Low (EDDN_FRK_APP) BAMKI, TABAT FL160
Harz (EDWW_R_CTR) KUMER FL180
Harz (EDWW_R_CTR) BIRKA FL200 (released von Halle)

Ankommender Verkehr

Ankommender Verkehr kommt über die Arrival Fixes KOJEC, LUXBO, GOXLI und YAWOY. Wichtig hierbei ist zu wissen, dass Flugzeuge über ADMOS und BERDI nach KOJEC direkt vom Bremen Sektor Harz (EDWW_R_CTR) kommen. Flugzeuge aus MAG nach KOJEC kommen direkt vom Sektor Börde (EDWW_B_CTR). Gleiches gilt für Flugzeuge über LUXBO und YAWOY, welche direkt vom Meissen (EDMM_M_CTR) übergeben werden. Des weiteren gibt es Arrivalroutes über GOT, welche für Non-RNAV Flugzeuge geeignet sind. Hier empfiehlt es sich, Flugzeuge eher auf Headings zu nehmen, da die GOT-Arrivals den Airport genau kreuzen. Die Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung für Airspace D (250 kts) darf nicht aufgehoben werden, anfliegende Luftfahrzeuge sind stets im geschützten Luftraum zu führen (TMZ oder Airspace C/D).

Anflugrouten

Ankommender Verkehr über KOJEC und GOXLI wird nicht vom Center auf die jeweilige STAR freigegeben. Diese Aufgabe übernimmt die jeweilige Arrivalstation. Ankommende Flugzeuge über YAWOY und LUXBO werden bereits vom Sachsen Low (EDDC_APP) für eine STAR freigegeben. Für eine bessere Planung sollen Flugzeuge FL110 bei KOJEC, LUXBO, GOXLI und YAWOY erwarten. Wichtig ist außerdem der Verlauf der Arrivalroutes, da diese im Konflikt mit Departureroutes nach Süden und Norden stehen.

Veranschaulichung der Konflikte bei 26-Betrieb:

EDDP_Konflikte_26.pngAnflugrouten und Konflikte bei 26 Betrieb

Wie man sieht, kreuzen sich STARs und SIDs in den meisten Fällen. Deshalb ist sicherzustellen, dass die Separation zwischen abfliegenden und anfliegenden Verkehr zu jeder Zeit sichergestellt wird. Folgende Höhen auf den STARs werden empfohlen:

Position Fluhgöhe
Anfangspunkt der STAR FL110
Upwind FL100
Downwind bis Höhe Airport FL080
Downwind ab Höhe Airport 5000ft

Von diesen Höhen kann auch abgewichen werden, jedoch ist es wichtig, keine Flugzeuge unter FL080 freizugeben, bevor der Konfliktpunkt zwischen SID und STAR vorüber ist. Grund hierfür ist der Inital-Climb von FL070 auf allen Abflugrouten.

Directs auf die jeweilige STAR erfolgen zu den Wegpunkten DP424 sowie DP465.

Nachdem die Flugzeuge den letzten Wegpunkt der STAR abgeflogen haben, wird vom Piloten- erwartet den Downwind Track beizubehalten. Hierbei muss speziell bei 26-Betrieb auf die MVA sowie die Grenze zum Berlin Arrival geachtet werden. Ein Einflug in diesen Sektor ohne Koordination ist nicht zulässig. Aufgabe der Arrivalotsen ist es, den Downwind so kurz wie möglich zu gestalten. Real wird das Auslastung beider Pisten in Peakzeiten sichergestellt

Transitions

Der Flughafen Leipzig/Halle verfügt über CDA Transitions (Continous Descent Approach), welche von den Wegpunkten MAXEB, UPLEG und LIPVO verfügbar sind. Diese Transitions dürfen nur zwischen 22:00 und 06:00 lokal verwendet werden. Die Verwendung ist jedoch eher selten.

Anflugarten

Am Flughafen Leipzig/Halle gibt es drei veröffentlichte Anflugarten auf allen Pisten. Leipzig verfügt über ILS, LOC und RNP Approaches. Sofern ein Visual Approach freigegeben werden muss, ist der Approachlotse dazu verpflichtet, den Towerlotsen darüber zu informieren.

Nachts soll der Endanflug aus Lärmschutzgründen mindestens 11 nm betragen (26: DP447/DP437, 08: DP442/DP432)

Betriebsmodus

In Leipzig sind Independnet Parallel Approaches zugelassen. Der primäre Betriebsmodus ist jedoch Staggered. Jeder Lotsen muss sich vorher mit den Bedingungen vom jeweiligen Betriebsmodus vertraut machen. Weitere Informationen sind hier verfügbar. Wichtig ist, dass trotz allen Bedingungen für IPA oder Staggered die MVA jederzeit beachtet werden muss!

Seit dem 26.01.2023 ist eine diagonale Staffelung von 1,5 NM bei dependent parallel approaches möglich.

Pistenzuweisungen

Von diesen Vorgaben kann je nach Verkehrslage auch abgewichen werden. Der Arrival bestimmt jedoch in allen Fällen die zu erwartende Piste des Luftfahrzeuges. Während Hightraffic-Situations ist es empfehlenswert, mehr Flugzeuge auf die Nordpiste zu schicken, da die Südpiste aufgrund des Cargoverkehrs stark mit Departures belastet ist.

Übergaben zum Arrival

Die Übergabe zum Arrival erfolgt normalerweise auf Speed 220kts. Sofern die Verkehrslage es zulässt oder erfordert, dürfen Flugzeuge auch mit einer höheren oder niedrigeren Geschwindigkeit übergeben werden.

Verkehr auf dem Downwind wird im Normalfall folgendermaßen übergeben:

Downwind RWY 08 RWY 26
Nord 5000ft 4000ft
Süd 4000ft 5000ft

Es können auch individuell direkte Anflüge mit dem Feeder koordiniert werden.

Two Feeder Operations

Bei zwei Feedern sind folgende Verfahren notwendig:

Anwendung von RECAT-EU Verfahren

Nach neuen, von Eurocontrol aufgestellten Wirbelschleppen-Mindeststaffelungswerten, wurden die bekannten, von der ICAO aufgestellten Kategorien (Light, Medium, Heavy, Super) in neue Unterkategorien geteilt und damit die Möglichkeit geboten, Flugzeuge bestimmter Kategorien noch enger zu staffeln. Die DFS hat sich dazu entschieden, das Verfahren unter Anderem am Flughafen Leipzig/Halle, allerdings nur in der Kategorie "Lower Heavy/Lower Heavy" und den Flugzeugtypen A300, B757 und B767 anzuwenden. Demnach können zwei aufeinanderfolgende Flugzeuge des oben genannten Typs auf 3 Meilen, und müssen nicht wie nach ICAO-Richtlinien, auf 4 Meilen, gestaffelt werden.

Piloten haben die Möglichkeit der reduzierten Wirbelschleppen-Staffelungswerte zu widersprechen, müssen dies aber rechtzeitig melden.

Erfurt-Weimar

Der Flughafen Erfurt-Weimar (EDDE) verfügt über viele verschiedene Anflugarten auf beiden Pisten. Transitions gibt es seit dem AIRAC2109 hier nicht. Flugzeuge werden entweder über Headings oder die STAR geführt. Die Freigabe für die STAR erfolgt immer vom Thüringen Low Süd. Hier muss besonders auf das Zusammenführen des Verkehrs auf dem Downwind und Base geschaut werden. Außerdem ist auf VFR Verkehr zu achten, da der Bereich der Erfurt TMZ sehr klein ist und nicht jeder Pilot über die Aktivität dieses Luftraums Bescheid weiß. Des Weiteren spielt die MVA in Erfurt eine nicht ganz unbedeutende Rolle. Sobald Low Visibility Operations verwendet werden müssen, ist die Anflugrichtung 09 nicht mehr benutzbar. Hier ist nur das ILS auf der 27 bis CAT IIIb zugelassen.

Durchflüge

Der Sektor Thüringen Low ist zudem wegen seiner vertikalen Grenze von FL195 auch für einige Durchflüge zuständig.
Auszug aus den LoAs bzw. Sectorfile.

Weitere Infos sind in den internen LoAs zu finden.

Holzdorf

Der militärische Flugplatz Holzdorf verfügt über einen Zuständigkeitsbereich, in dem Holzdorf Radar bei Aktivierung Flugzeuge kontrollieren kann. Berlin Arrival Süd ist verpflichtet, München Radar über die Aktivierung/Deaktivierung der Holzdorf zu informieren.

Alle Flugzeuge nach/von Holzdorf müssen zwischen Bremen Radar/München Radar und Holzdorf Radar individuell koordiniert werden.

Departures on SIDs are generally released in Nürnberg, i.e. route clearance can be given without further request. Departures via vectors must be coordinated with the APP controller.

Datalink clearances are offered in Nürnberg. The station code is EDDN.

Transponder codes

The transponder codes for departures from Nürnberg are to be assigned automatically from the range 2340-2353. If this range is not sufficient, the codes 2401-2477 can also be assigned manually.

Helicopter

The helipads are within the area of responsibility of the ground. Helicopters are to be handled like normal fixed-wing aircraft, with the exception that the terms hover instead of taxi or air-taxi instead of taxi are to be used for them.

Air-taxi of helicopters are generally prohibited on all apron areas and taxiways with the following exceptions:

Limited taxiways

Parking positions

The parking position is normally assigned by the GroundRadarPlugin.

De-icing

Aircraft de-icing is always carried out at all parking positions on the main aprons at Nürnberg Airport.

EDDN - Nürnberg Airport

Tower

Operating direction

The operating direction is coordinated between TWR and APP. Runway 28 is to be used in preference. The operating direction should only be changed during continuous traffic if a tailwind component of more than 5 KT is otherwise to be expected.

Please note that only runway 28 can be used for low visibility operations.

Change of operating direction

Approaches

Approaches are to be staggered by APP and handed over on the approach base line at 8 NM at the latest

Non-precision approaches, aerodrome circuit approaches or approaches that do not wish to perform a final landing must be coordinated between the APP and TWR.

Visual approaches must be coordinated between TWR and APP. The requirements stipulated in the AIP must be observed; in exceptional cases (e.g. weather, emergencies, ambulance flights, etc.) this may be deviated from.

Required separation 

APP is responsible for creating and maintaining the separation between approaches.

Speed instructions from TWR for approaches must be coordinated in advance. TWR is then responsible for maintaining the separation.

Missed approaches

A missed approach must be coordinated between the APP and TWR. Pilots should primarily follow the published missed approach procedure. In exceptional cases, a "fly runway track, climb to FL70" can also be instructed, which may be appropriate in Nuremberg if there is a lot of traffic.

Practice approaches

The published missed approach procedure must not be used for practice approaches with a new take-off/take-off, but a SID must always be assigned.

Departures

Separation obligation

TWR is responsible for establishing and maintaining the separation between two take-offs. The following aircraft may only be released for take-off if the radar separation minimum or the required wake turbulence separation to the preceding aircraft is given at the time of take-off and the separation remains or increases.

Intersection Departures

Airliners are always sent to the beginning of the runway. Deviations are possible with the pilot's consent. Pilots of small (VFR) aircraft must expect an intersection departure.

Intersection C should NOT be used due to inbound traffic. If you using them, advise the arriving traffic to vacate later than C!

VFR traffic

VFR arrivals and departures may enter or leave the control zone at a maximum of 3,000 ft AMSL. Circuits to the south should be avoided for noise protection reasons.

Helicopter take-offs and landings

Taxiway F can be used for take-offs and landings. The decision lies with the tower, the pilot must report if he cannot accept this. In most cases, however, these departures are carried out as intersection takeoffs from taxiway J.

Take-offs and landings of DRF rescue helicopters

The following procedures are to be observed when carrying out operational flights by the local DRF rescue helicopters (CHX27 and CHX88).

CHX27 must be assigned the discrete transponder code 7027.
CHX88 must be assigned the group code 0020 for rescue flights.

In order to avoid having to keep the entire TWY free when using the above procedure for departures from TWY F, the following procedure was agreed with the DRF (only for CHX27 and CHX88):

An artificial landing zone will be set up, which must be kept clear during take-offs and landings of the two rescue helicopters, extending westwards to the junction of TWY J and eastwards to the eastern boundary of the hoverway.

TWY C can therefore be used freely without further restrictions, provided that traffic information is provided on all aircraft involved.

Aircraft on TWY D must be clear of TWY F for the application of the procedure.

TWY F can only be used to the east as far as apron G3.

Arrival - Franken Low

The Nürnberg arrival does not cover a pure arrival sector, but the fully-fledged lower sector Franken Low (FRKL) in the GND - FL195 level band. In addition to arrivals and departures to/from Nuremberg, a few transits cross the sector. Franken Low is also home to the controlled aerodrome Hof-Plauen (EDQM), as well as numerous info airports with a RMZ and IFR procedures. The exact structure of the sector can be seen in the following sector chart.

Sectors_EDMMOST-Low.png

Arrivals

RNAV Arrivals

The arrivals in Nürnberg have their clearance limit at the corresponding transition fix (see table) and must already be filed by the pilot in the flight plan, but explicitly cleared. Pilots must at least be BRNAV-equipped, for NON-RNAV a route must be filed according to ERL or NUB.

Approach procedure

In operating direction 28, Nürnberg has a CAT IIIb-certified ILS, as well as one RNAV and two published LOC approaches (LOC Z and LOC Y) and thus logically another localiser antenna in addition to the LOC antenna belonging to the full ILS. In operating direction 10, Nürnberg has a CAT I-certified ILS, as well as an RNAV and VOR approach.

Visual approaches may be cleared after coordination with the tower, but must be conducted in such a way that the final approach for RWY 28 approaches from the north is at least 2.5 NM (5 DME NUB), for approaches from the south the final approach is at least 5.5 NM (8 DME NUB) and for RWY 10 the final approach is at least 5 NM (4 DME NUB).

Working with the feeder position

In reality, there is no longer a feeder in Nuremberg, but due to the unrealistically high flight movements on Nuremberg Monday, this station has been retained on VATSIM.

The handover between FRKL and feeder takes place at 28 operation downwind sinking to 6000ft, at 10 operation sinking to 5000ft.

Target separation on final

There is no target separation per se and all pilots are requested to separate according to the traffic conditions on the final. Requests for separation from TWR must be implemented within 10 minutes, speed requests from TWR immediately.
With a balanced traffic flow, a separation of approx. 6 NM is usually suitable to utilise the runway as efficiently as possible. Higher separation minima due to wake vortices or similar must of course be given priority!

Departures

Handoffs

With the exception of ERL departures, departures in Nuremberg are obliged to make an initiation call on the corresponding departure frequency immediately after take-off.

Local IFR via ERL

For local IFR flights, the tower must always plan via ERL; unlike all other SIDs, the tower keeps departures via the ERL departure on frequency until they have left its AoR or there is a separation to traffic in the control zone.

Responsibilities

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

Dresden Ground is responsible for issuing enroute and startup clearance for departing traffic. Additionally, Dresden Ground is responsible for ground movement control within the maneuvering area. Dresden Ground shall only be opened if Dresden Tower is already staffed.

Datalink clearances are not available in Dresden.

SID Assignment

Normally, a standard SID shall be assigned according to the runway direction decided by Dresden Tower. During times of low traffic and suitable wind conditions, SIDs for the most efficient runway direction may be assigned (e.g. flight via KOBUS off RWY04 while main operating direction is 22). This shall only be done after individual coordination with Tower and Arrival Sector Sachsen Low.

Ground Movement Control

The AoR of Dresden Gound is designated in the chart below and consists only of the maneuvering area.

Arriving Traffic

shall be handed off to Dresden Apron as folllows:

Departing traffic

will be handed off from Dresden Apron as follows:

EDDC - Dresden Airport

Apron

Dresden Apron ist nur bei Events mit Besetzungsplan zu öffnen, sonst werden die Aufgaben von Dresden Ground übernommen.

Dresden Apron ist eine Bodenposition, die für den gesamten rollenden Verkehr auf dem Apron zuständig ist. Nach Absprache mit dem Ground können Rollfreigaben auch bis zum Holdingpoint gegeben werden. Des Weiteren ist diese Station für die Freigabe von Pushbacks bzw. Powerbacks verantwortlich.

Die Aufgaben des Apron-Controllers bestehen darin:

Zuständigkeitsbereich

Dresden Apron ist zuständig für alle Flugbewegung auf dem Vorfeld. Das heißt, dass auch die Rollwege M, K, L, P, N und H (zwischen A und C) zum Zuständigkeitsbereich der Vorfeldkontrolle gehören.

Besonderheiten

Rollweg P
Der Rollweg P kann für Pushbacks von Flugzeugen auf den Positionen 7-10 benutzt werden. Bei diesem Vorgang können trotzdem Flugzeuge auf Rollweg H rollen.

Rollweg M
Der Rollweg M verfügt über eine gelbe, orangene und blaue Linie. Hier können auf der blauen und orangenen Linie zwischen Sonnenauf- und untergang Flugzeuge mit einer maximalen Spannweite von 36 m aneinander vorbeirollen. Außerdem darf für dieses Verfahren nur angewendet werden, wenn die RVR mehr als 350 m beträgt. Das gleichzeitige Rollen von Flugzeugen auf der gelben und orangenen/blauen Linie ist nicht gestattet.

Stands 18-29
Diese Stellplätze sind sogenannte Taxi-out-Stands. Sie werden über Rollweg N erreicht und über Rollweg H verlassen.

EDDC - Dresden Airport

Tower

Dresden Tower ist eine Bodenposition, die für Start und Landefreigaben sowie Verkehrskontrolle und -informationen in der Kontrollzone zuständig ist. Zudem übernimmt Dresden Tower die Aufgaben von Dresden Apron und Dresden Ground, wenn diese nicht besetzt sind.

Die Aufgaben des Tower-Controllers bestehen darin:

Bevorzugte Betriebsrichtung

Die Betriebsrichtung soll je nach Wind- und Verkehrslage bestimmt werden. Es ist möglich, nach Absprache mit München Radar und bei geringem Verkehrsaufkommen die entgegengesetzte Pistenrichtung für Starts und Landungen zu nehmen, um Piloten kürzere Flug- und Rollzeiten zu ermöglichen.

Kontrollzone

Die Dresdener Kontrollzone erstreckt sich ungefähr nördlich der Stadt Dresden. Die vertikale Grenze der CTR beträgt 2500ft MSL. Einflüge und Ausflüge in die Kontrollzone erfolgen über die Pflichtmeldepunkte:

EDDC_CTR.pngKontrollzone Dresden - © openflightmaps.org

Ankommender Verkehr

Dresden Tower gibt für seine Piste die Landefreigabe. Während der Pilot die Piste verlässt, übergibt der Tower den Piloten bei A, B, C zur Apronfrequenz und bei D und E zur Groundfrequenz.

Der Tower ist dafür verantwortlich, dass die Pisten-, Radar- und/oder Wirbelschleppenstaffelung eingehalten wird. Im Falle einer Staffelungsunterschreitung ist sofort ein Go-Around anzuweisen.

Low Visibility Procedures (LVP)

Der Dresdener Airport verfügt über einen CAT III nur auf der Piste 22. Das bedeutet, dass bei Low Visibility Procedures zwingend die Piste 22 verwendet werden muss. Außerdem verlassen die Piloten die Piste immer am Ende über Rollweg A.

Abfliegender Verkehr

Flugzeuge werden vom Tower für seine Piste für den Take-off freigegeben. Hierbei muss Pisten-, Radar- und/oder Wirbelschleppenstaffelung zu jeder Zeit eingehalten werden. Nachdem das abhebende Luftfahrzeug abgehoben ist, wechselt der Pilot selbstständig auf die Departurefrequenz.

Koordination mit Nachbarstationen

Dresden Tower --> Dresden Ground/Delivery, München Radar

EDDC - Dresden Airport

Arrival - Sachsen Low

München Radar Sektor Sachsen Low (EDDC_APP) ist für alle An- und Abflüge von/nach Dresden (EDDC) zuständig. Des Weiteren befindet sich der Flugplatz Bautzen (EDAB) im Sektor, welcher über IFR-Prozeduren verfügt und somit auch eine RMZ besitzt. Es ist Voraussetzung, dass alle SOPs der Flugplätze gelesen und verstanden werden, da für diese auch Top-Down-Service angeboten werden muss.

EDDP_S_APP übernimmt alle Aufgaben des EDDC_APP, wenn dieser nicht online ist.

Der Sektor

Die laterale und vertikale Ausdehnung des Sektors sowie die Nachbarstationen sind der folgenden Grafik zu entnehmen.

Sachsen_Low.pngMünchen Radar Sektor Sachsen Low

Der Luftraum

Um den Flughafen Dresden befindet sich ein Luftraum Delta (nicht-CTR), welcher in verschiedene Sektoren unterteilt ist. Die Obergrenze dieses Luftraums ist FL75. Das bedeutet, dass zwischen dem Luftraum Delta und dem ab FL100 beginnenden Luftraum Charlie, sich nochmals ein Luftraum Echo befindet, damit VFR Verkehr in hohen Flughöhen den Flughafen passieren kann. Um trotzdem den IFR Verkehr schützen zu können wurde um den Luftraum Delta eine TMZ errichtet. Somit muss VFR Verkehr in diesem "Echo-Band" selbstständig einen Squawk eindrehen (4410) und Hörbereitschaft auf der Frequenz hertellen. Der Lotse muss nicht gerufen werden. Durch diesen Listening-Squawk weiß der Lotse, dass der Pilot zuhört und kann ihn bei Bedarf kontaktieren.

EDDC_Approach_Luftraum.pngLuftraum D um Dresden

Abfliegender Verkehr

Abfliegender Verkehr kontaktiert München Radar nach dem Abheben selbstständig.

Ankommender Verkehr

Ankommender Verkehr kommt über die Arrival Fixes OSKAN, KOBUS, ABKIS, RIVSA, GARKI. Des weiteren gibt Approaches über DRN, welche für Non-RNAV Flugzeuge geeignet sind. Hier empfiehlt es sich, Flugzeuge eher auf Headings zu nehmen, da die DRN-Anflüge den Airport genau kreuzen.

Anflugrouten

Normalerweise wird der anfliegende Verkehr schon für die STAR freigegeben. Es empfiehlt sich jedoch, individuell zu koordinieren, ob ein Flugzeug die STAR oder Transition abfliegen soll. Oft werden Flugzeuge auch über Headings zum Airport geführt. Hier muss auf die besonders ansteigende MVA südlich des Platzes geachtet werden.

Anflugarten

Am Flughafen Dresden gibt es vier veröffentlichte Anflugarten auf allen Pisten. Dresden verfügt über ILS, LOC RNAV und VOR Approaches. Sofern ein Visual Approach freigegeben werden muss, ist der Approachlotse dazu verpflichtet, den Towerlotsen darüber zu informieren. Wichtig zu wissen ist, dass der Intercept auf die 22 auf 3000ft und auf der 04 auf 4000ft erfolgt.

Die Piste 04 verfügt zudem nur über einen CAT I ILS. Aus diesem Grund müssen Flugzeuge bei Low Visibility Procedures immer die 22 nehmen.

Pistenzuweisungen

Es ist möglich, dass Piloten zur Verkürzung der Flug und Rollzeit die entgegengesetzte Pistenrichtung erbitten. Hier muss Rücksprache mit dem Tower gehalten werden, ob die aktuelle Verkehrslage das zulässt.

Durchflüge

Der Sektor Sachsen Low ist zudem wegen seiner vertikalen Grenze von FL165 auch für einige Durchflüge zuständig.
Auszug aus den LoAs.

Weitere Informationen sind der aktuellen LoA zu entnehmen.

Holzdorf

Der militärische Flugplatz Holzdorf verfügt über einen Zuständigkeitsbereich, in dem Holzdorf Radar bei Aktivierung Flugzeuge kontrollieren kann. Berlin Arrival Süd ist verpflichted München Radar über die Aktivierung/Deaktivierung der Holzdorf zu informieren.

Alle Flugzeuge nach/von Holzdorf müssen zwischen Bremen Radar/München Radar und Holzdorf Radar individuell koordiniert werden.

ETSH_AoR.png

Holzdorf Release Line

Um Thüringen Low Nord (EDDP_N_APP) und Sachsen Low (EDDC_APP) bei einem erhöhten Verkehrsaufkommen von anfliegenden Flugzeugen nach Leipzig/Halle nicht-genutzten Luftraum südlich im Berliner Arrival Sektor bereitzustellen, wurde die sogenannte Holzdorf Release Line im Berlin Arrival Süd eingeführt.

Diese Linie kann nur vom Berlin Arrival Süd und bei wenig bis keinem Verkehr nach Berlin aktiv geschalten werden. Alle Flugzeuge südlich der Release Line dürfen bei Aktivierung vom Thüringen Low Nord (EDDP_N_APP) und Sachsen Low (EDDC_APP) ohne extra Freigaben von Bremen Radar (EDDB_S_APP) in den Berliner Arrival Sektor einfliegen, jedoch nur bis zu dieser Linie. Der Luftraum selbst gehört in allen Fällen trotzdem Bremen Radar.

Die Aktivierung kann nur vom Berlin Arrival Süd erfolgen. Eine Aktivierung von München Radar ist nicht zulässig. Die Aktivierung kann/soll jedoch bei Bedarf bei Bremen Radar angefragt werden.

Ground operation

General

EDJA is a former air force base that has been converted for civilian use. This can be seen from the fact that all taxiways are narrower than the ICAO standard and many of them are closed due to a lack of demand and renovation. More attention must be paid than at other airports to ensure that pilots do not inadvertently taxi onto closed areas and taxiways.

Restrictions on taxiways

Taxiways "S" and "P" are restricted to aircraft with a maximum outer main gear wheel span of 6 metres. This means that they cannot be used by conventional commercial aircraft, at most by smaller business jets and GA aircraft.

Aprons and terminals

The passenger terminal is located on Apron 1 (Stands 1 & 2). Further parking spaces for airliners are located on Apron 2. Apron 3 south of the runway serves as GA parking, where the GAT is also located (only accessible for small aircraft due to the restriction of TWY P).

Pushback is only necessary from the stands at Terminal 1 (Stands 1 and 2) and Stand 6, all other stands are "taxi-in/out".

EDJA - Memmingen Airport

Tower

Memmingen Tower is responsible for aerodrome control at Memmingen Airport. Memmingen has a D-CTR.

IFR departures

IFR departures are to be handed over with radar or wake turbulence separation. IFR departures via the same SID are to be handed over with 5 NM or (if higher) wake turbulence separation. The Tower is responsible for separation between IFR departures and between IFR departures and IFR approaches on a missed approach procedure until the transfer of communications of all flights involved.

IFR arrivals

IFR approaches are handed over to Memmingen Tower by München Radar using one of the published approach procedures, taking into account radar or (if required) wake turbulence separation. München Radar is responsible for the separation, speed assignments from the tower are not permitted without coordination with München Radar.

IFR visual approaches

No special requirements. München Radar may only clear IFR visual approaches after coordination with Memmingen Tower.

Use of runway

Due to the restriction of TWY "S" and "P", larger aircraft/airliners can only use TWYs "W" and "N". For this reason, landings on runway 06 and take-offs on 24 backtracks are necessary. There are no turnaround pads, the aircraft must turn on the runway.
The formerly offset threshold of runway 06 has been removed, the area to the west of junction W has been declared a stopway and cannot be used for take-off runs.
Intersection takeoffs are permitted:

2022-11-28 10_09_17-AIP IFR Germany – Mozilla Firefox.png

Low visibility procedures

Experience shows that minima problems occur more frequently in Memmingen due to low cloud cover than due to fog (due to the location of the aerodrome on a mountain ridge).

Under LVP, intersection takeoffs are not permitted. Under LVTO conditions, only one aircraft at a time may move within the area of responsibility of air traffic control (i.e. on all TWYs and the RWY).

As the ILS only allow Cat I, but LVTO is permitted, this means that at RVR between 75 - 550m it is only possible to take off, but not to land.

Deicing is carried out at the stand.

VFR traffic

The D-CTR is surrounded by airspace E/G with only one TMZ as an additional protected area.

For noise abatement reasons, the southern traffic circuit should preferably be used.

Helicopters

There is no helipad. Helicopters use the runway.

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:

EDDE_CTR.pngControl zone Erfurt - © openflightmaps.org

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):

Taxi Guidance

Augsburg has Aprons 1-6 (with Apron 3 being the grass area to the south) and Hangars 2-8. Pilots are responsible for collision avoidance while taxiing and hovering on G and S. On all other taxiways, the tower is responsible for taxi guidance.

Choice of operating direction

The operating direction is selected by the tower; Munich Radar must always be informed of the current operating direction.

Operating direction 25 is preferred and should be used in case of doubt.

IFR departures

IFR departures shall be handed over with radar or wake turbulence separation. IFR departures over the same SID shall be handed over with 5 NM or (if higher) wake turbulence separation. The obligation of separation between IFR departures and from IFR departures to IFR approaches on a missed approach procedure lies with the tower until the transfer of communications of all flights involved.

IFR arrivals

IFR approaches shall be handed over from Munich Radar to Augsburg Tower using one of the published approach procedures in compliance with radar or (if required) wake turbulence separation. The obligation of separation lies with Munich Radar, speed assignments from Tower are not permitted without prior coordination with Munich Radar.

Runway 25: ILS(/LOC), RNP and NDB approaches are published for runway 25. The ILS is always preferred. 
Runway 07: Only an RNP approach is published for runway 07, which is preferred for this operating direction.

IFR visual approaches

IFR visual approaches are approved for both operating directions. München Radar must coordinate these with Augsburg Tower before clearance.

Visual approaches for RWY 07 must be conducted in such a way that the final approach is at least 3 NM and the descent below 3500 ft MSL does not take place before the final approach is reached.

AIP ED ENR 1.5/7.18

Low Visibility Procedures

Low Visibility Procedures will be proclaimed by Augsburg Tower if at least one of the three criteria is met:

Departures

VFR Departure routes are to be used depending on the operating direction:

Arrivals

Approaches, on the other hand, take place regardless of the operating direction via the N/S routing, which ends in a published holding procedure to the north/south of the airfield.

Gliding

Augsburg also has a gliding sector in the south of the control zone, which can be activated if necessary. Circuit traffic must then only be cleared in the northern circuit.

EDMO - Oberpfaffenhofen Airport

Tower

Oberpfaffenhofen Tower is responsible for aerodrome and ground control at Oberpfaffenhofen Airport. Oberpfaffenhofen has a D(HX) CTR and published IFR procedures that do not require coordination for clearance.

However, IFR procedures are only defined for operating direction 22. Approaches can use an approach procedure to runway 22 followed by a circling for runway 04 if the tailwind is too high.

IFR departures

IFR departures are to be handed over with radar or wake turbulence separation. IFR departures on the same SID are to be handed over with 5 NM or (if higher) wake turbulence separation. Tower is responsible for the separation between 2 IFR departures and between IFR departures and IFR approaches on a missed approach procedure until the transfer of communications of all flights involved.

IFR arrivals

IFR approaches are handed over to Oberpfaffenhofen Tower by München Radar using one of the published approach procedures, taking into account radar or (if required) wake vortex separation. The separation obligation lies with München Radar, speed assignments from Tower are not permitted without coordination with München Radar.

IFR-Sichtanflüge

München Radar may only clear IFR visual approaches after coordination with Oberpfaffenhofen Tower.

Ground operation

General

EDMO is one of 12 special airports in federal interest, among other things, a DLR plant and research centre is located on the airport site. This circumstance is noticable in the comparatively "dismembered" ground layout.

Restrictions on taxiways

TWY E is 23 m wide, while TWYs A, B, C and D are each only 12.5 m wide.

Aprons and terminals

The GAT is located on the Main Apron in the north of the airport.

Use of runway

Intersection takeoffs are not permitted due to a lack of distance declarations.

Low Visibility Procedures

Oberpfaffenhofen is not approved for flight operations in visibility < 1000 m and/or main cloud bases < 200 ft; flight operations must be suspended in the event of such weather conditions.

VFR-Verkehr

The D-CTR is surrounded by airspace E/G, while Munich Airport's airspace C is above the control zone.

Cooperation with vACC Switzerland

Due to the location of Friedrichshafen Airport, there is a co-operation agreement between FIR München and vACC Switzerland that allows controllers from both sides to control at the airport.

IFR operations

Friedrichshafen Airport is located below the so-called ARFA sector, arrivals and departures are normally controlled by Alps Radar (LSFA_APP 119.925), which also covers this position in the absence of Friedrichshafen Tower. If this position is not staffed, the higher-level positions take over this role as follows:

EDNY_TWR >> LSFA_APP >> LSZH_DEP >> LSZH_APP >> LSAZ_x_CTR >> LSAS_CTR >> EDMM_Z_CTR etc.

Apart from the CTR, EDNY is located in Class E airspace. A TMZ (Transponder Mandatory Zone) for VFR traffic has been established. Nevertheless, attentive airspace observation is also necessary for IFR traffic.

ILS 06 and 24 transmit on the same frequency. In reality, the correct ILS is switched on by the tower. In the flight simulators, the correct ILS is (hopefully) set automatically depending on the direction to the airport.

Radar

EDNY_TWR does not have a radar that is authorised for ATC purposes or separation. Speed assignments by TWR are only permitted after coordination with APP.

Squawk assignment, Departure release

WIP

Low visibility procedures

The ILS 24 is approved up to Cat III and can be used during LVP. EDNY_TWR has no ground radar. To protect the ILS signal, no aircraft may park on the Liebherr apron during LVP.

Visual approaches and departures

EDNY is one of the very few airports in Germany where visual approaches and departures are permitted for all IFR flights, regardless of the size of the aircraft.

The following applies to visual approaches:

Visual departures are most commonly DCT to the waypoint ALAGO, instead of flying the SID.

VFR operation

Control zone Friedrichshafen

EDNY_CTR.pngKontrollzone Friedrichshafen- © openflightmaps.org

Mandatory reporting points Friedrichshafen:

Apart from the CTR, EDNY is located in Class E airspace. A TMZ (Transponder Mandatory Zone) has been set up to increase safety. VFR and IFR flights are not separated from each other. Attentive airspace observation is necessary. VFR flights should avoid the extended centerline and observe TMZ procedures (transponder 0022 and listen on LSZH_A_APP 119.92 or FIS LSAS_I_CTR).

Grass runway for use by gliders only.

Helicopter

Helicopters take off and land on the runway, usually at Intersection D.

Zeppelins

Zeppelin NT airships carry out daily VFR sightseeing flights around Lake Constance from spring to autumn. Two zeppelins are often on the move, especially at peak times at weekends.
Zeppelins carry out direct approaches and departures to their anchor masts north of the RWY. Otherwise they are to be treated as normal VFR traffic. Due to the circular flight routes, deviations from the mandatory reporting points are often requested (e.g. along the shore) and are usually not a problem - the pilots know their way around.

Verfahren zur AERO

There is a lot of VFR traffic during the annual Aero Fair in April. The exact procedures will be published in the AIP SUP. (AERO 2023: AIP SUP VFR, AIP SUP IFR)

Additional stations are set up:

NOVEMBER is generally used for VFR approaches. The southern half of the grass runway may only be used by helicopters.

Together with the approaches via NOVEMBER, departures follow a one-way system:

Approaches via SIERRA are generally not possible. Aircraft coming from the south must fly around the CTR in the east and cross IFR final approach 24, which can be risky.

The runway should be exited via TWY E/F or C/B and the touchdown point should be selected accordingly by the PIC to ensure a rapid roll-off. Exiting the runway via D/M is not permitted. Additional grass parking areas are provided in the northern part of the airport and on both sides of the former TWY S (which will then be used again). TWY D & M are used to cross the runway as access to the northern car parks and the exhibition grounds. Direct taxiing to the exhibition centre via TWY M is possible for exhibitors after the road is closed.

Ground operation

All parking positions are "self-manoeuvring". Pushback is not available. Stands 201-206 are code C (B737/A32x families). Parking of Code D aircraft (A300, B767) is only possible in exceptional cases and only at position 201.

There is no GAT. All crews and passengers must use the normal terminal.
Machines with home base EDNY are parked at their respective hangars:

External aircraft up to 5.7 tonnes usually park on the north side of Apron 3 or - if full - on Apron 4. Smaller business jets (Citation or similar) usually park on Apron 1. Large business jets with a short turnaround usually park on Stands 204-206. For longer stays on Apron 4 and Apron 3 (western part).

Operating direction

The operating direction is selected by the tower; München Radar (FRK) must always be informed of the current operating direction.

IFR departures

IFR departures are to be handed over with radar or wake turbulence separation. IFR departures on the same SID are to be handed over with 5 NM or (if higher) wake turbulence separation. Tower is responsible for the separation between 2 IFR departures and between IFR departures and IFR approaches on a missed approach procedure until the transfer of communications of all flights involved.

IFR arrivals

IFR approaches are handed over from München Radar to Hof Tower using one of the published approach procedures in compliance with radar or (if required) wake turbulence separation. München Radar is responsible for the separation, speed assignments from the tower are not permitted without coordination with München Radar.

Both runway directions are equipped with an RNP approach.

IFR visual approaches

IFR visual approaches are approved for both operating directions without further regulations. München Radar must coordinate these with Hof Tower prior to clearance.

Low Visibility Procedures

There are no defined low visibility procedures in Hof. If the minima cannot be adhered to, no flights are possible.

Use of runway

For operating direction 08, a backtrack generally required. Smaller aircraft can depart directly from intersection B.

VFR traffic

Arrivals and departures

Arrivals and departures take place via the published mandatory reporting points or can be instructed individually. There are no published holding procedures for VFR within the control zone.

ETSI - Ingolstadt/Manching

ETSI - Ingolstadt/Manching

Overview

Ingolstadt/Manching is a military airfield with Civil Joint User south of Ingolstadt which is home of the “Wehrtechnische Dienststelle für Luftfahrzeuge und Luftfahrtgerät der Bundeswehr” (WTD 61) by the German Air Force. For the most part, Ingolstadt handles Military Jet traffic, Helicopter traffic and civilian GA. There are multiple Restricted Areas around Ingolstadt in which the Military aircrafts perform Testflights.

Charts can be found in the MIL AIS.

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:

grafik.png

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.
