Minimum altitudes in the Netherlands
 

Planning a trip to the Netherlands. What would be the minimum altitudes for a VFR-flight (over land, water, cities)? Exemptions?

I guess 500 ft AMSL should give you at least 1000 ft clearance from most things!;)

Ha-Ha, Priceless! :D

he's right 500 ft for open terrain and 1000 ft for cities. I found it on a site of a dutch helicopter school. they should know it.

212man,

Isn't it a pity when clever irony goes unnoticed?

I do get it, but i tried to ignore it :rolleyes:

This is the official source.

What do you expect mate? In the end it's your duty and no one elses to update yourself with flight rules.

hu? I dont understand, I was talking about the joke that Holland lies under seelevel (at least a big part of it)

Jim, it's okay: I'm used to it!

It really didn't matter that much. The weather was ****y on the way out and on the way back. I had a hard time to maintain 500 ft AGL. (now that would be what... 300' MSL???). Actually, upon landing the altimeter indeed was reading below 0:confused:

yes we have dikes and dunes to stop the water from flushing into the countrie, we will have a serious problem if they break (It did happen years ago)
but this is kind of offtopic
