#BGBl. 2026 I Nr. 38Second Ordinance Amending the 217th Implementing Ordinance to the Air Traffic Order (Establishment of Instrument Flight Rules Procedures for Approaches and Departures to and from Hannover Airport)

This ordinance, issued on February 6, 2026, and published in the Federal Law Gazette on February 11, 2026, constitutes the second amendment to the 217th Implementing Ordinance of Germany's Air Traffic Order. It specifically targets the standardization of instrument flight rules (IFR) procedures for arrivals and departures at Hannover Airport (EDDV). The regulation ensures precise, safe, and efficient flight paths under instrument conditions, incorporating updates to navigation aids, waypoints, altitudes, and approach minima based on technological advancements and safety assessments by the Federal Supervisory Authority for Air Navigation Safety (Bundesaufsichtsamt für Flugsicherung). Key focuses include revisions to Standard Instrument Departures (SIDs) and Standard Instrument Arrivals (STARs), potentially adjusting noise abatement measures, holding patterns, and contingency procedures to align with current ICAO standards and local airspace constraints. The changes reflect ongoing optimizations for capacity at one of Germany's mid-sized international airports, handling around 5 million passengers annually pre-amendment.
