==Official Spotting Locations==

Just outside of the terminal on the southwest end above the rail station. This doesn't allow you to get very close however, you have a good view of the runway and of the western most concourse (where most of the interesting stuff is).

==Other Spotting Locations==

If the weather is bad (rain, snow etc.) inside the main terminal, the windows by the point where people can meet those arriving on domestic flights. Also the grassy area above the rail lines next to the terminal provides excellent views of all the activity and there is a hole in the bushes 50 feet from the terminal that allows you get to it.

===Approach Field 23 End===

There is a field at the end of runway 23 where aircraft, if using that runway, will pass over you. Unfortunately no ground shots can be had from here as the runway is well set back with a hill a fence and trees in the way. Although this isn't the greatest place in the world to get pictures from, it is about the best Stansted has to offer and you are not going to be bothered here.

'''How To Get There''' - Coming off the M11, but pass the terminal area and head for Molehill Green and Elsenham. You'll need to go past Molehill Green and then there will be a turn on your left with a black sign for Hyteck Technologies. Turn left here and continue to the end of the road. You should be able to park your car at the end and walk in to the field for approach shots like those above. This map may help you. You need to turn left at "Gaunt's End" and continue down past "Mott's Hall" to the end of that road.

At this point you may get a visit from the police. They will do a stop and search but they won't move you on though. Just don't argue or refuse to the stop and search. The police are usually very friendly and sometimes even stop there for lunch and to do some spotting themselves. From time to time airport security asks plane spotters to leave this place but they have no right to do so, as the area is public land.

==Official Spotting Locations==

===Visitor Terrace===

There is a visitors terrace in the building connecting terminals A and B. It is part of the exhibition [http://www.weltderluftfahrt.de Welt der Luftfahrt] (World of Aviation), which opened in October 2008. Access is from departure level. The minimum entrance fee now is €2,50 which includes part of the exhibition.

From the visitor terrace you have a view over the apron of Terminal A and parts of Terminal B. Aircraft on some stands of Terminal C are visible in some distance as is the remote parking area. You can take pictures of aircraft taxiing to the runways and landing or departing on 09R/27L. The disadvantages are that you have to photograph through glass (dirty!) and you face the sun for most of the day.

==Other Spotting Locations==

[[Image:Hajkart.jpg|thumb]]

===Position No 2 "Parkhaus Nord"===

Leave the motorway A352 at the sign "Flughafen" (airport). Drive along the road and follow the signs to "Parkhaus Nord" (Car Park North), but be aware that it is usually closed off-season. This location is within walking distance of the terminals. When the car park is open, a free shuttle bus connects it to the terminals.

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.

{{anetlink|953960}}
{{anetlink|953959}}
{{anetlink|925240}}
{{anetlink|663475}}

===Position No 8 "Schulenburg"===

Drive in the towards the airport and do a left turn at the "Münchener Straße" (if you are coming from the airport, do a right turn). Drive along this road until you reach a small village named "Schulenburg". In this village you take the first road ("Dorfstraße") to the right. Drive this road until the end and you will see the runway in front of you. You can walk along the airport fence from here, too.

From the point "Schulenburg" you can take pictures of aircrafts which depart or land on 09R. You need a ladder (3 steps) at this position! The light is good from sunrise until 5 p.m. Lenses between 70 and 400mm are recommended, although 200 to 400mm lenses are only necessary for pictures of aircraft parked on the western apron.

{{anetlink|869895}}
{{anetlink|554958}}
{{anetlink|536988}}

===Position No 10 "Schulenburg-Nord"===

This point is located in Schulenburg-Nord. To get there, follow the instructions given for point 8, but instead of turning right at the first road in Schulenburg, take the second one (Hannoversche Straße). You have to follow this road up to Schulenburg Nord, where you have to turn left. Now you are heading directly towards a parking lot next to the taxiway.
From this point you have a great view across the northern runway (09L/27R) an its taxiways. For shots of the runway it is good to have at least a 300mm lens (for aircraft down to CRJ-size). The taxiway however is very close here, so you really need a wide angle lens (e.g. 30mm for a Yak42).
If RWY 09L is in use, every plane will pass this spot during landing and take off, but smaller planes landing on 27R often leave the runway before they reach this spot.
To get clear of the fence, a 3-step-ladder is necessary here. The sun is in your back from early morning until around 5 pm.

{{anetlink|819467}}

===Münchner Straße===
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.

===End of runways===
Those who like to stand directly underneath approaching (landing) aircraft can do so easily on 3 of the 4 ends at HAJ. 
The far end of runway 27R is reached from Engelbostel via Resser Straße. It is possible to park a car there without problems. 
The far end of runway 27L can be reached on foot from above mentioned positions #8 and #10. When coming from #10, park your car in the village itself, do not drive all the way to the designated area. 
The far end of runway 09L is reached from Evershorst. You need to park your car in the very small village, as many roads are not open to public vehicles. On the road leading east from Evershorst to Kaltenweide, a bridge leads across motorway A352. From there head-on shots of approaching aircraft are possible. 
The far end of runway 09R is the least good accessible one, as many areas are fenced off (being used as private parking lots for cars and trucks). Keep an open eye here and observe signs, as the situation changes rather frequently.

==Locations to Avoid==

If you use the positions mentioned above you shouldn't get any problems. Sometimes the airport security might bother you because your car might be parked in a wrong place, but if you tell them you are a plane spotter, they won't bother you.

HAJ is the central air hub for the 25.000 British soldiers based in Germany and therefore frequently used by the Royal Air Force. Taking pictures of military aircraft is okay but taking pictures of military personnel or cargo should be avoided. It is an unwritten law at HAJ not to point cameras with big lenses at military personnel. This is to make sure that the BFG (British Forces Germany) feel safe and respected and are willing to continue their handling at HAJ in the open.

Please note, that it is forbidden to use an airband scanner in Germany, but use rarely get prosecuted. Just turn it off if the police approaches.

== Irregular traffic ==

More irregular traffic arrives at HAJ during the two bigger trade fairs held in Hannover every year: CeBIT and Hannover Fair (Industry) - especially the first one brings some unusual visitors from allover Europe. In addition to the Royal Air Force's own aircraft, chartered aircraft use HAJ for troop exchanges frequently. Expect to see DC-10 and B747 (older models).
