| Geography |
Near Rotterdam Airport (EHRD). From the A13 motorway, take exit
Rotterdam Airport/Berkel en Rodenrijs. Follow the Doenkade parallel to runway
06/24. After the BP fuel station, turn left. The beacon is then visible in the
meadows on your left hand side. Good boots are required to get to it! |
| Procedures |
Positioned smack on centerline of the 06/24 runway of Rotterdam
Airport, this beacon is a natural resource for nearly all approaches and
departures. It lays about 1.2 nm before the landing threshold of 24. Small
general aviation planes often use the beacon as turning point when departing
from 06; if they would turn before the beacon, they would cross
Hillegersberg and people would fire Stingers at them. |
