The multi-storey Car Park near RWY 27R is good for pictures when 27R is in use and aircraft use this runway for landing as well as for take-off. When 09L is in use, it is possible to take pictures of aircraft after take-off but most of the planes will be too high. The light is good from sunrise until about 5 p.m. Lenses between 150 and 400mm are recommended for shots of the runway and 70mm to 180mm for shots of the taxiway.

The view is obstructed by a new built aircraft hangar. There is only a small gap for max 3 spotters to take photos of the final approach.

===Münchner Straße===
===Münchner Straße - New spotting hill===
For those in a hurry, it used to be possible to get a quick glance at the apron and traffic on runway 09R/27L from the parking strips along Münchner Straße (located south of the airport), but more and more buildings (mainly cargo centres) are blocking the view these days. It is still possible to park there and walk closer to the perimeter fence, but spot #8 (mentioned above) has the advantage of no thru-traffic and parking space closer to the fence.

Due to several new built warehouses the view from Münchner Straße is obstructed. Also it is no longer possible to cross the fields to get closer to the fence at most places. But a new spotting hill has been banked up between point 1 and 7. From this hill you have a good view on 09R/27L and the terminals. Park your car near the turn at the westerly end of Münchner Straße and walk the footpath beside the warehouse. A step ladder is not needed and the light is good from 10 am to 5 pm in summer.
