No. An airport transit visa does not allow you to pass through border controls into the Schengen area. To fly from Munich to Frankfurt, you need to clear the border control point, entering the Schengen area in Munich. The trip therefore counts as a "short stay" under the Schengen codes, not as an airport transit.
To follow the indicated itinerary, therefore, you need one of the following:
- a passport that allows visa-free entry into the Schengen area (pdf), or
- a Schengen short-stay visa, or
- a long-stay visa or residence permit issued by a Schengen area country.
