I'm thinking of trying a flight to Schiphol this weekend. I've done a search and I've got a few pointers on flying in Holland in general but wondering if people can help me out with a couple of points.
As far as I can see there is nothing stopping a VFR flight direct into Schiphol under the Class A airspace and then in through the VFR sector, so long as you have a flight plan (sorted since coming direct from the UK) and a slot, and the ability to do a short base leg if need be.
Not quite sure how to go about getting a slot, but I'm still digging through Bottlang at the moment.
Does anyone have any experience of flying into AMS? Is it relatively straight-forward, and has anyone been asked to to the short approach circuits? How difficult is it to get a slot?
Any other advise / experience / comments about AMS or flying in Holland in general would be most welcome!
Should be an experience, one way or the other.......
Many thanks!
