# T2 - EKRN / Rønne
## Overview
[](https://wiki.vatsim-scandinavia.org/uploads/images/gallery/2024-12/roenne.JPG)
Rønne/Bornholms Lufthavn is the only procedural tower in Denmark.
The airport is serving around 200.000 passengers yearly on its routes. The primary operator DAT, serves the weekly/daily routes to EKCH, EKYT & EKBI.
During the annual "Folkemøde", there is an extreme increase in traffic from both DAT, SAS and Norwegian.
### Procedural Tower
As Rønne is a Procedural tower, meaning that they serve as a "normal" controlled airport, however without their own radar. They therefore rely solely on aircraft information and data from the Swedish radars.
As they do not have their own radar, there is not any APP. The entire airspace is covered by the TWR. All arrivals and departures, therefore, have to either follow standard arrival or visual. No radar vector can be provided.
### Airspace
The entire airspace is Class D. First sector from GND-1500' and second from 1500 - 4500 ft.
| CLASS | IFR / VFR | SEPERATION | SERVICE PROVIDED | SPEED LIMITATION | RADIO COMM. | TRANS PONDER | CLR |
| D | IFR | IFR from IFR | Air traffic control service. Traffic information about VFR flights, and traffic avoidance advice on request | 250 KT IAS below FL 100 | Continuous two-way | A + C | Yes |
| VFR | None | Air traffic control service. Traffic information about VFR and IFR flights, and traffic avoidance advice on request | 250 KT IAS below FL 100 | Continuous two-way | Above FL 95 TMZ | Yes |
## Procedures
Remember, EKRN does NOT have an ATIS, hence all A/C must be offered the latest MET-Report, including RWY in use!
### Inbounds
All inbounds are handed over from Sweden at 5000 ft. (On ESMM QNH) DCT ROE VOR, or in case of RWY 11 in use, DCT ODMEI (Or otherwise coordinated)
TWR may request any aircraft DCT to any WP on the arrival. FAU & ULRED is some of the best/most used.

When an aircraft is indbound FAU, they will after the WP turn for final. Be noted the turning curve is different based of aircraft type. After the "Teardrop turn", they will establish on ILS.
To avoid the teardrop from an annoying angle, they may be cleared DCT ULRED for a straight-in ILS
Type Z is always the preferred approach.

### Departures
All IFR departures must be coordinated with Sweden, and they must be the ones approving and issuing the Clearance.
Initial climb is always 4000 ft. and handed directly over to ESMM\_APP, or overlaying MM sector.
A good practice is to request coordination from Sweden when the A/C calls for clearance. You then tell the A/C to expect clearance during Taxi, which gives Sweden time to respond.
Remember to inform Sweden upon taxiing, with the estimated time of takeoff.
**All departures are Omnidirectional.**
RWY 11 - Climb straight to 700 ft. then turn
RWY 29 - Climb on track 274 to 700/1000 ft. then turn
## Phraseology
Exactly the same as a normal TWR.
Only to remember an aircraft can NOT be identified.
For clearance, remember to include: *"Sweden clears you..."*
For a teardrop approach, the following is used: "***C/S, via FAU cleared full ILS-Z approach RWY29. Report FAU outbound***"
For a straight-in approach: "***C/S, via ULRED cleared straight in approach ILS-Z. Report final***"
