| Geography |
Papa Hotel lives just off a rural road in the middle of meadows
and agricultural land, East of Sint-Oedenrode, the Oude Lieshoutsedijk. It
is only separated from the road by a row of trees and very easily
accessible. |
| Procedures |
Associated to the approach of Eindhoven Airport runway 22. |
| Remarks |
Probably as one of the first of a whole list of beacons to be
decommissioned, PH was officially withdrawn from service in september
2003. With the advent of GPS navigation and ILS/DME approaches, both
locators and markers are not required any longer. |
