This ordinance is the nineteenth amendment to the 162nd Implementation Regulation of the German Air Traffic Order (Luftverkehrs-Ordnung), specifically governing instrument flight rule (IFR) procedures for arrivals and departures at the Hof-Plauen regional airport in Bavaria/Saxony. The regulation was issued by the Federal Supervisory Authority for Air Navigation Services (Bundesaufsichtsamt für Flugsicherung, BAF) and signed on 4 March 2026, with official publication in the Federal Law Gazette (BGBl. 2026 I Nr. 65) on 16 March 2026. The amendment updates or revises the precise flight paths, altitudes, waypoints, or approach/departure procedures that aircraft must follow when operating under instrument flight rules at Hof-Plauen. Such updates are typically driven by safety reviews, airspace restructuring, changes in navigation aid infrastructure, or alignment with ICAO/EASA standards. This is a highly technical, aviation-sector-specific regulation with a narrow scope limited to one regional airport. It has no direct impact on the general public but directly affects flight operations at Hof-Plauen.
