Originally built in 1943 by the German Luftwaffe. The 3 boarding communes were built in 1968 the first terminal building and SAS then started their routes to EKCH and a few charter flights. In 2000 the airport became a Limited Company with the nearby laying 6 communes with the main sharehold. In 2017 EU granted money for the expansion, which still is in progress. ALWAYS remember, if you are unsure or in doubt then ask. We will always do our best to help you out! EKAH AIRPORT BRIEFING Use of stands In Aarhus, there are 4 normal parking spots. Stand Destination Aircraft type 1 - 3 Schengen incl. domestic PAX 4 Non Schengen incl. UK 4 Any Destination Heavy PAX aircraft 15 - 16 VFR, VIP & Misc. Smaller Aircrafts 38 - 39 Any VFR STAND CHART IFR clearance Initial contact is with Tower, reporting callsign, stand number, and latest ATIS identification letter. Remember to read/listen to the entire ATIS as there might be some specific info related to you! IRL, IFR Clearance is given on the taxi to the RWY. It is up to you whether you want to simulate this or not. As there are no SIDs in Aarhus your departure clearance will sound like this: “Cleared to Destination via [Point]/[Flightplan route], FL060, expect level change, squawk 1234, After departure left/right turn toPOINT” Push-back All stands are self manouvering, if push is needed it can be requested from ATC. IRL startup is at the pilot's discretion, However on Vatsim, it is up to the individual controller to simulate this or not. Taxi Runway 28R/10L is not used on Vatsim, hence you can expect to use this runway as a taxiway. Runways In Aarhus, there are 2 runways. Whereas RWY 10R/28L is the primary. RWY 28L have ILS CATII and 10R have ILS. Runway 28R/10L is not to be used. AIRPORT CHART SIDs There are no SIDs in Aarhus, hence you will always be cleared via a WP / FP route. For flights bound for EKRK/EKCH, this will be either TESPI or TNO. STARs There are no STAR's in Aarhus. Expect direct to ILS fix or Vectors. Approach ILS is the only approach type normally used.

The airport was originally built in 1964 by LEGO. The airport was back then built to accommodate visitors to the nearby Legoland. The airport has since been taken over by nearby communes and a private company and then expanded to the size we know today. In 2023 the airport had moved nearly 4.000.000 passengers.

The northern one at the terminal building accommodates all passenger planes. The stands 25 - 26 & 38 - 40 are flex stands, meaning they can accommodate both Schengen and NON-Schengen. Stand 27 - 37 is Schengen only. Stand 65 - 94 is used for longer-term parking. Southern Apron; Stand 2 - 7 is Cargo Stand 1 is VIP The G area is used for General Aviation The De-Ice pad (J) may be used for Heavy and Super AIRPORT MAP IFR clearance Initial contact is with Tower, reporting callsign, stand number, and latest ATIS identification letter. Remember to read/listen to the entire ATIS as there might be some specific info related to you! Requesting De-Icing If you require de-ice before your departure, request it with your departure clearance request. Push-back All stand at the terminal and Cargo stands require pushback. The Mid-Apron (Stand 65 - 94) is taxi-out based on A/C type. (Some heavy might require pushback) IRL pushback is at the pilot's discretion, However on Vatsim, it is up to the individual controller to simulate this or not. Taxi When landing RWY 09 pilots are encouraged to continue taxiing via K to hold short at N For departures, F intersection may be used upon request. Intersection M may always be used at the Pilot's discretion. Backtracking via A is NOT allowed for Mediums+, if you require full length, advise the controller and you will receive a taxi via B, F & D. Runways In Billund, there is only 1 runway. Both ends have ILS CATII/III. This is the normal procedure. During direct crosswind situations i.e. winds 180 or 360, 09 may be used for departure and 27 for landing, to ensure shorter taxi times. RWY OVERVIEW SIDs Depending on destination and routing each SID can be chosen at the pilot's discretion. However. EKCH, EKRK and EKRN Departures must use the ABINO. When creating the Flightplan do NOT include the identifier (i.e. 2C), simply write the waypoint name. ALL SIDS HAVE INITIAL CLIMB OF FL060! DEPARTURE CHARTS RWY 09 RWY 27 STARs There are no STAR's in Billund. Expect direct to ILS fix or Vectors. ARRIVALS ILS Z is the only approach type normally used.

EKCH - Copenhagen/Kastrup TOBT During peak times Copenhagen adhere to A-CDM. This is to minimize delays. In order to ensure an on time departure please do the following. Fila a flightplan with a realistic EOBT (Estimate off block time) Log onto the network in good time. Go to CDM Confirm the time, or select a precise time when you will be ready MAKE SURE you are ready within +/-5 minutes of that time An on time departure is still not guaranteed but highly increased in likelihood Available stands Overview Copenhagen - Kastrup airport is the biggest in Scandinavia with 25.000.000 passengers served in 2023. ALWAYS remember, if you are unsure or in doubt then ask. We will always do our best to help you out Use of stands In Kastrup, there are 3 main terminals.

However if/when they come to EKCH they park at either A31 - A34, G15 - G19 or if they are parked here for some time, at Apron West. VIPs (i.e. state visit, royals, pop-groups) always park at W1 (Wilhelm Lauritzen Terminal) Bizz-jets normally park at A31 - A34 or in case of long term parking, at Apron West Helicopters park at G110 or G111 EKCH AIRPORT STANDS IFR clearance Initial contact is with Clearance Delivery, reporting callsign, stand number, and latest ATIS identification letter. Remember to read/listen to the entire ATIS as there might be some specific info related to you, especially if you are unable to perform customized pushback! De-Icing If you require de-ice prior to your departure, request with your departure clearance request. There are three De-Ice platforms in Copenhagen, which are used depending on your handling provider. De-Ice Alpha: SAS Ground Handling De-Ice Bravo: Aviator Ground Handling De-Ice Victor: Menzies Ground Handling See which airlines uses which handling companies here Note: If your airline uses neither of the three mentioned above, they are external customers, and most likely associated with Aviator or Menzies Push-back All stands require pushback (except F89 - F91 & Prop/Bizz-jet at A25 - A34) All stands have designated release points and a secondary point. However, ATC can deviate from standard procedures if it's more optimal for the current traffic situation. *If you for some reason is unable to perform a pushback to one of these points, you MUST inform the controller when asking for pushback! Taxi In Copenhagen we have standard taxi routes, however, those are subject to traffic conditions, and can at any time be changed by a controller.
