Special Rules Zone (SRZ) this means that only participating aircraft/helicopters are allowed to enter the area, this because of safety reasons. But medical and police flights are allowed to enter the area. The area runs vertical from ground level up to 3000 Feet and is active from 1400-2100 ZULU. It has a radius of 2 nautical miles from the center (52040352N 005415684E)

Hawkeye Challenge

Post by Edwin »

Komende week kunnen er mogelijk meer activiteiten op en rondom Gilze-Rijen verwachten i.v.m. de oefening 'Hawkeye Challenge'. Hierbij het officiele persbericht:

In voorbereiding op de inzet in Afghanistan vindt de oefening Hawkeye Challenge plaats. Tijdens deze oefening trainen Chinook, Cougar en Apache helikopters om de samenwerking onderling en met grondeenheden nog verder te optimaliseren. De oefening vindt plaats van maandag 17 tot en met donderdag 20 november 2008.

Hawkeye Challenge spitst zich toe op de samenwerking met vooral eenheden van de Koninklijke Landmacht. Helikopters verlenen “Close Air Support” en voeren “Close Combat Attacks” uit. Hierbij worden de helikopters door grondeenheden naar doelen geleid. Verder voeren de helikopters verkenningen en konvooibegeleiding uit én pikken ze op verschillende locaties grondtroepen op. Ook wordt de samenwerking tussen de helikopterbemanningen onderling getraind.

Voor Hawkeye Challenge zijn een aantal bijzondere vlieggebieden aangewezen, waaronder de omgeving van de vliegbasis Gilze-Rijen, de Oirschotse- en Ginkelseheide, Veere (Zeeland), Ede en Eindhoven. Tijdens de oefening kan met oefenmunitie worden geschoten. Daarnaast is er intensief vliegverkeer van en naar de genoemde oefengebieden. De vliegbewegingen vinden in principe plaats tussen 12.00 uur en 23.00 uur.

I just see your request, don't know if it is still actual? But... the 'heide' area is called the 'Leersumse Veld' and it's a public area with some bicycle roads.
