Overview

  • Munich Airport will temporarily suspend its midnight-to-5 AM night flight ban for mandatory ILS calibration on runway 26R.
  • The Deutsche Flugsicherung (DFS) will conduct the checks using a Beechcraft Super King Air 350 turboprop aircraft during the nights of May 12–13, 2025.
  • These periodic calibrations are required by German aviation regulations to ensure safe and efficient air traffic operations at one of Germany's busiest airports.
  • Local residents near the airport should expect some nocturnal aircraft noise, though efforts will be made to minimize disruption.
  • The calibration flights may extend beyond the planned dates if technical issues or weather conditions delay the process, as safety standards must be met.
