This is what you were waiting for all the time I think...the final trip to Amsterdam airport Schiphol.

You will need:
 
    Schiphol.zip
    Ehamgat3.zip
    holl-ref.zip
    Put nlpats01.bgl  back in!!!

We are on Ameland now. We fill in our flightplan to Schiphol and do our checks.

We follow the corridor back to the Afsluitdijk and we will cross the lake back to the western part of Holland.

Follow the coastline to the south and you will fly over the cute little village called Marken. It is on an island, but there is a dam with a road to it.

We will fly to the factory (south). Behind that factory there will be a river. This river leeds us to Victor, the entry point for VFR flight to Schiphol.

You must contact tower before you reach this place. To enter the Schiphol CTR, turn 310 at Victor. Victor is the bridge over the river.

Be sure you will stay on 1000 feet. Outgoing traffic is following the same path at 1500 feet.

You did study maps on Ameland didn't you?

We will land on runway 04 or 22. In this case, because the wind is calm, we are told to land on 04.

To go there you will maintain 1000 feet at 310 and you will pass two churches. These are called Alpha and Beta.

To get a perfect approach, you will fly along the city border. You can see it on the screenshot.

Once you see the runway, enter downwind at 500 feet just like any other circuit.

You are not allowed to pass the runways beginning. The 45 degrees rule cannot be used here!

You will fly to the beginning of the runway.

When you are at the point, shown on the picture, turn 040 and land the thing.

This will be halfway down the runway, but that is OK. The runway is long and wide.

I suppose you know by now, how difficult it is to land on Schiphol. To turn to 04 is not very easy to make.

Once you are landed, you will contact ground.

Mostly you will park your aircraft at the A-apron just on the east side of runway 04. But if you can afford it (you pay for everything on Schiphol!), you can park on the B-apron.

It might take you 20 minutes to taxi there!

We are finished now. Are we?

Well in real flight your car will still be in Seppe. And the aircraft you rented, has to go back to Seppe too. You will have to pay a lot of money for your landing on Schiphol, if you can find the Flight Information Office. The FIO is located in the main building behind Staff Only doors. Sometimes they will stop you when you want to get in, because you don't wear a KLM uniform.

You might fly back to Seppe on your own if you like. But I will quit here.

I hope you learned a lot of private flying and flying over Europe.
