 LOWW_F/D_APP establishes the aircraft on final. Recommended speed up to 4 nm final is 160 kn, whereas 180 kn should not be exceeded. When the aircraft is established on Localizer and no more instructions have to be issued they should be handed off to TWR.

 LOWW_APP has to form a sequence, descend, and hand the aircraft off to Arrival. At runways 11, 29 and 34 two downwinds can be established. At runway 16 this is only possible to limited extend due to LO(R)-15.
 Although forming downwind patterns is the best way to cope with big amounts of traffic, LOWW_APP has every liberty to modify the stream of traffic in order to build up a good sequence.

 Approach should take care that he is still able to pass departures and overflights through the arriving traffic. According to traffic situation leaving open some holding levels should be considered.

 Directs to SID endpoints are allowed without prior coordination, ''if the aircraft is always separated to all STARs outside LOWW Approach airspace.'' Departures to the south and to the west are handed off according to their Requested Cruise Level (RCL) if they can reach the associated sector within a reasonable distance (In some cases they might pass through LOVV_CTR or an APP airspace).
