The rapid development in international aviation prior and after the second world war forced the the United Nation to find a aviation organization. The first step was done in 1944 when the PICAO (Provisional International Civil Aviation Organisation), a preliminary aviation organization, was found in Chicago. After acceptance of the “Agreement of Chicago” the International Civil Organization (ICAO) was found on April 4 th1947. More than 140 members of the United Nations participate this organisation. In the year 1967 the Bundesrepublik Deutschland became also member of the ICAO.

The Bundesminister für Verkehr (BMV) is responsible for all aviation affairs in the Bundesrepublik Deutschland such as aviation law, aviation admission, research, international cooperation and air traffic.

For this behalf the BMV has found several offices to look after special assignments:

LBA (Luftfahrtbundesamt)

DWD (Deutscher Wetterdienst)

Deutsche Flugsicherung DFS GmbH

The Deutche Flugsicherung DFS GmbH was found as BFS (Bundesanstalt für Flugsicherung) in 1953 and changed to a privat GmbH in 1994.

The DFS is responsible for air traffic control in the controlled airspace of Germany and on internatioal German airports.

The DFS may forbid totally or partly visual air traffic in airspaces “C” and/or “D”.

Die DFS consists of

Unternehmenszentrale, situated at Langen (Hessen)

Control tower service at the international airports and aera control at Bremen, Berlin, Karlsruhe, München and Langen

The air traffic services comprises

Air traffic control service This will be done in the control airspace (C, D, E) by radar and/or tower control service. Clearances and advises will be done via radiotelephony.

The three basic control units are TOWER Control (TWR), Approach Control(APP) and Area Control (ACC)

Flight information service This service is executed by radar service to provide pilots with information and hints necessary for a safe and afficient conduct of flights. This service is only during flight available.

Flight alerting service With filing a flight plan the pilot gets flight alerting service automatically either by AIS (aeronautical information service) or by aerodrome control tower.

Aeronautical information service This service is only available prior or after the flight. Here you can file flight plans and they are responsible for all questions regarding flight plan, airspace structure, NOTAMs and procedures. This service is available only via telephone, FAX or internet.

Aeronautical teletype service This service is responsible for the collection and dissemination of flight plans, NOTAMs etc. Pilots normally don’t have contact with this service
