Special VFR at Schiphol - what are my chances?
I tried asking in another forum, but hopefully we have more Dutch participants in here :-)
I'm from time to time making the trip from the UK to Denmark VFR, obviously going through the Netherlands. The extend of Class A is pretty extensive (to say the least) which means either a long detour or (as I have done previously) flying very low routing East around Rotterdam and Schiphol.
According to the Dutch AIP, you can get a Special VFR clearance through Schiphol, depending on ATC workload, and I was wondering if anyone have any expriences on getting it. If I plan for it and down get it, I have to either go south around Rotterdam or hope for the DA's to be inactive to the North. In either case, I will be flying a lot lower than I'd prefer.
Any experiences?
