Not so. It's just under Schiphol TMA 1. Daft rule.
VFR flights in the Amsterdam FIR shall activate their transponder on mode S or mode A and C and select in mode A code 7000 unless otherwise instructed, except below Schiphol TMA 1, where the transponder shall not be activated unless otherwise instructed.
