Flight Information Service (FIS) and Air Traffic Control (ATC) in military areas of responsibility of the German Federal Armed Forces

AIC VFR 2 of 28 February 2008
In accordance with § 30 (2) LuftVG, the responsibility for providing local military air navigation services at aerodromes rests with the German Federal Armed Forces. For this purpose, in addition to the control zones (Airspace D) published in the AIP, areas of responsibility (ZB) of the military approach control units were also agreed upon between DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH and the German Federal Armed Forces.

In accordance with airspace classification, these are normally Airspace G or E. The ZBs will be activated by the German Federal Armed Forces, as required. During activation, the German Federal Armed Forces are responsible for providing air traffic control and flight information service in these ZBs. Thus, especially in the area of aerodromes with operations involving military jet aircraft, all airspace users can be provided with the necessary information „from one source“.

The radio call sign of the control units consists of the name of the control unit and the term „Radar“ (e.g. Büchel RADAR). Services for civil and military airspace users are provided in German and English. This is generally done with the help of primary and secondary radar facilities belonging to the German Federal Armed Forces (Aerodrome Surveillance Radar, ASR).
