MILITARY PARTNER AND CUSTOMER
The Federal Ministry of Defence is involved in the governance of DFS by way of the Joint Ministerial Committee and forms part of the DFS Supervisory Board. Senior Air Force officers who were released from regular service and transferred to DFS are, moreover, involved in the decision-making processes of DFS at all management levels. At DFS control centres, transferred military air traffic control officers and flight data specialists use their specific expertise to handle military air traffic.
Military requirements are conveyed to DFS through the Bundeswehr Air Traffic Services Office (AFSBw). The Bundeswehr Air Traffic Services Office exercises functional supervision over the air traffic control units of 34 military aerodromes and – wherever provided – over the military aeronautical information services and approach control units. This includes military aerodromes which are also used by civil aviation. Approximately 700 officers and non-commissioned officers work in training institutions, military administration and air traffic services units. The implemented European air traffic services standard guarantees safety and quality in training and operations of the local military aerodrome control towers and approach units. It was already laid down in the Interdepartmental Agreement that the Bundeswehr Air Traffic Services Office would be located in the same building as the DFS Headquarters. Clear responsibilities, personal contacts, consultations on a regular basis and short coordination channels facilitate the cooperation.
