VFR across Belgium and Netherlands
Hi everybody !
My first message on this forum : retired from airline, I now wish to enjoy VFR. Based in Grenoble (North Alps, France), I fly the mountains during winter and try to navigate through Europe when summer comes. Last year, we flew to Denmark across Switzerland and Germany.
This year, we plan again the same destination but, for a change, via North of France, Belgium and Netherlands.
The project is, after reaching Calais (LFAC), to follow the coast abeam Oostende, Rotterdam, Amsterdam and to land at Texel (EHTX). And, from there join North Germany.
I planned to fly at something like 4000', but after a look on the charts I've just ordered, it does not seem so easy. Therefore, I'm looking for some tips.
First of all, who should you call to go through Koksidge and Oostende areas (not obvious on the map) ?
Also, do I get any chance to follow the dutch coast from South to North ? At what altitude ?
Sorry for this silly questions, but although so simple in IFR, the trip looks a bit tricky in VFR.
Anyway, many thanks in advance for your tips and happy landings !
