Welcome to our very first IFATC themed event! For this event, we thought we would head to Berlin to catch a glimpse of the historic city below. This event focuses on ATC procedures, from arrival, all the way down to taxi routes and parking gates. Each procedure is a real-life STAR, and aircraft fly them into each airport daily.
EDDT and EDDB are the two current Berlin airports that are operational. These both have STARs leading to an ILS approach. EDDI is the old Berlin airport, and so the approach is a visual one. If airport conditions are below visual requirements, this airport will be shut down temporarily until conditions improve.
Please make sure your flight plans either end at the start of, or include, the STAR for the airport and runway you want. The linked document at the bottom of this topic sets out each STAR clearly and defines what airport and runway it is for.

Basic STAR and TFR Tutorial
A STAR is a Standard Terminal Arrival Route. These are set routes that aircraft take to fly into an airport.
A TFR is a Temporary Flight Restriction. These are restrictions based mainly on height, speed, or airport requirements. You will see large ones of these over each airport. These are the red or orange circles on the map.
We also use TFRs to show the STAR routes. You can see the start of the STAR by the slightly larger TFR. If you follow the TFR route from there, you will fly the STAR!
Each STAR waypoint is defined by the fix or VOR. At most of these, you will have an altitude and speed restriction.
To find this information, click on each red TFR circle, then click on the pop up that comes up. This is where you will find all the information in-app.
Please see the official event document below. This is given to IFATC for this event and explains all the airport procedures and STARs in full:
