I Nr. 36) on February 11, 2026, repeals the 173rd Implementing Ordinance on Air Traffic Regulations. The repealed ordinance had established specific instrument flight rules (IFR) procedures for approaches and departures at Paderborn/Lippstadt Airport (EDLP), a regional commercial airport in North Rhine-Westphalia serving about 1 million passengers annually. The repeal is managed by the Federal Supervisory Authority for Air Navigation Safety (Bundesaufsichtsamt für Flugsicherung).
