Radar - Sachsen Low

EDDP_TRS_APP covers EDDC_SAS_APP when offline.

Also read the ground and tower SOPs to familiarize yourself with relevant procedures/operations to enable the necessary coordination.

Dresden

München Radar Sector Sachsen Low (EDDC_SAS_APP) is responsible for all arrivals and departures to/from Dresden (EDDC). Furthermore, Bautzen Airport (EDAB) is located within this sector, which is operating IFR procedures and therefore also owns an RMZ.

The lateral and vertical extent of the sector and the neighboring stations are shown in the following graphic.

Airspace

There is a Delta airspace (non-CTR) around Dresden Airport, which is divided into different sectors. 
The upper limit is FL75. This means that between delta airspace and Charlie airspace, which begins at FL100, there is another echo airspace so that VFR traffic can overfly the airport in high altitudes. 
In order to protect IFR traffic, a TMZ has been established around Delta airspace. This means that VFR traffic in this “echo band” must independently enter a squawk (4410) and establish listening on the frequency. The air traffic controller does not need to be called. This listening squawk lets the air traffic controller know that the pilot is listening and allows them to contact the pilot if necessary.

Arriving traffic

Incoming traffic arrives via the arrival fixes KOBUS, ABKIS, RIVSA, and GARKI. There are also approaches via DRN and OSKAN, which are suitable for non-RNAV aircraft. They are not recommended, they cross the airport precisely.

STAR´s and approaches

Incoming traffic is cleared for the STAR by center. They are usually not required and therefore they should not be flown. 

Dresden is equipped with ILS, LOC, RNAV, and VOR approaches. 
If a visual approach is given, the tower controller must be informed. The intercept on runway 22 must be at 3000 ft and on runway 04 at 4000 ft.

Runway 22 shall be used for low visibility procedures. Runway 04 does not have a CAT3 approach.

Opposite arrivals

It is possible that pilots may request the opposite runway direction in order to shorten flight and taxiing times. In this case, the tower must be asked if the current traffic situation allows it. Wind and other arrivals and departures must be taken into consideration.

For all approaches that deviate from standard procedures, special attention must be paid to the MVA.

Other traffic

Dresden is responsible for approaches to EDQ*, ETIC, EDAC, and EDDP! Transfer LVLs can be found in the LOA.

For EDDP arrivlas: SAS shall issue the inbound clearance for STARs LUXBO and YAWOY.
Transfer LVL can be found in the LoA. 

Bautzen

Bautzen is surrounded by airspace E from 1,000 feet to FL100 and has an RNP approach to runway 25, as well as SID departures to BUSIR and ABLOX on both sides. The airport is not controlled but has an information.

Holzdorf

The Holzdorf military airfield has an area of responsibility in which Holzdorf Radar can control aircraft when activated. Berlin Arrival South is obliged to inform München Radar about the activation/deactivation of Holzdorf.

All aircraft to/from Holzdorf must be coordinated individually between Bremen Radar/München Radar and Holzdorf Radar.
