Apron

Dresden Apron is not to be used! 
Apron can only be opened for events with a staffing plan. The tasks are taken over by Dresden Ground.

Dresden Apron is a ground position responsible for all rolling traffic on the apron. After consultation with Ground, taxi clearances can also be given up to the holding point. Furthermore, this station is responsible for clearing pushbacks.

AoR

Dresden Apron is responsible for all aircraft movements on the apron. This means that taxiways M, K, L, P, N, and H (between A and C) also fall within the apron control area's jurisdiction.
