Goedemorgen,
ik zie op de LVNL website dat de Polderbaan nog in gebruik is (11.35 uur).
Is dit een foutieve weergave of is de baan inderdaad nog open.
Omdat ik deze week vanuit Groningen een paar keer in de buurt van Schiphol ben wil ik graag weten of de baan inderdaad de rest van deze week dicht is.
Bij voorbaat bedankt.
polderbaan is gisterochtend tot ca. 10.30 gebruikt. hij is de rest van de week zowieso dicht. aanstaande maandag + dinsdag is het nog onzeker of de baan dan wel of niet in gebruik is. vooralsnog is in principe de oplevering dinsdag omstreeks 12.00.
31-8 t/m 18-9 is de aalsmeerbaan 18L-36R dicht. mogelijk nog tot 25-9.
It's that time of the year again.
Here is the Winter season 2015-2016 inbound/outbound peak schedule as of 25oct15 below. This is the basis for '2+1 runway use'.
There are at least four moments a day where '2+2' may be applied though: around 07:00, 11:00, 13:00 and 15:00LT.
These 'new' frequencies are just new designations. The actual frequency is different from the frequencies on charts and the ones used by controllers. The technique is a bit difficult to explain, but the article below sums it up pretty well.
Long story short: don't change anything in your scanner. The frequencies used the last couple of years don't actually change, they just call them differently.
Isn't it rather that actual new freqs will be referenced by simplified but also new numbers for ease of use? Don't have the actual new ones for EHAM at hand now but someone else may. I suppose current scanners may not be able to differentiate btn 8.33 kHz channels but general allocation will try and avoid minimal spacing per location anyway.
I.e. when wanting to listen to 118.015 (actually 118.0166) you will probably hear it with your scanner on 118.0 or 118.025 but if only one such freq is used locally you just here that one. Up in the air with reception from a bigger area it's a whole different story of course. And yes, if 118.010 is used locally too that will be a problem.
