¶ Specials Areas
No prohibited areas exisit within Tallinn FIR, other areas can be displayed, and as to be avoid regarding their nature and activation as per described in the OPMAN.
¶ Free Route Airspace
Between FL095 and FL660, the FIR of Tallinn is a FRA, so no airways required.
Here is the map of the waypoint inside the FRA, any direct can be assigned within the limite of the Tallinn FIR, according to traffic flow.
¶ AERODROMES (AD)
¶ Lennart Meri Tallinn – EETN
¶ Traffic areas
The tower will assign a gate number to arriving aircraft. General aviation aircraft will be required to use their designated apron area.
¶ Aircraft gate management
Located in front of the terminal (Apron M), the commercial aviation parking has parking spaces for the different categories (see below).
TERM : Gates from M2 to M8 / M5 to M13 / M12 and M15
APN M : Gates M14 / M16 to 31
TERM is to be used mainly, if no more gate available, then assign a gates on the APM M to the aircraft.

¶ Squawk code
For better traffic management in the Name airspace, here are the squawk codes to assign to traffic according to their destination.
| Flight | Code |
|---|---|
| IFR - Domestic | 0020 - 0037 / 4040 - 4077 |
| IFR - International | 5271 - 5277 |
| VFR - Domestic/International | 7030 - 7077 |
| IFR - Militaary | 7250 - 7257 |
¶ VFR Management
CTR entries, exits and transit are normally made after coordination with the approach controller. VFR transits will pass vertically from the airport at least 500ft above the higher aerodrome traffic patterns altitude (1 200ft AGL).
Traffic patterns are published both runways, both hands, however, south patterns are prefered to avoid the overflight of Tallinn city.
