DFS Aviation Services (DAS) in collaboration with Munich Airport International, Munich Airport , DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH and Airbus Helicopters is researching the safe and efficient integration of eVTOL operations into existing airspace systems in a project funded by the Free State of Bavaria.
“This project is making strides in integrating eVTOL operations at a major international airport—marking the first time that such procedures are being created at an airport with parallel runway operations,” said DAS in a Linkedin post.
“Our team has focused on developing Visual Flight Rules (VFR) procedures for initial operations, while also laying the foundation for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) procedures, ensuring long-term scalability as regulations evolve. DFS experts have led safety assessments to enable safe and seamless transitions into operation.
“One of the most groundbreaking aspects of this project is our realistic ATC tower simulation, which incorporates both conventional aircraft and eVTOL traffic. By simulating real-world conditions, including weather changes, traffic fluctuations, and complex airport operations, we are validating operational procedures and identifying potential impacts well before the first eVTOLs take flight.”
