This ordinance, issued on February 12, 2026, and published in the Federal Law Gazette on February 18, 2026, amends the 155th Implementing Ordinance to Germany's Air Traffic Order. It specifically establishes standardized instrument flight rules (IFR) procedures for arrivals and departures at Leipzig-Altenburg Airport, a regional traffic airport in eastern Germany. The regulation updates flight paths, approach and departure procedures to enhance safety, efficiency, and compliance with modern air traffic management standards. Managed by the Federal Supervisory Authority for Air Navigation Safety (Bundesaufsichtsamt für Flugsicherung), it falls under air traffic control procedures (FNA 96-1-2-155). Aimed at pilots, airlines, and air traffic controllers operating IFR flights to/from this airport, the changes ensure precise navigation amid surrounding airspace constraints near major hubs like Leipzig/Halle.
