ATC Procedures in the Netherlands
For use on the VATSIM network

What is this page about?

The purpose of this homepage is to provide some information about realistic Air Traffic Control procedures for pilots using Flight Simulator 98 or 2000 & Sqawkbox on the VATSIM network willing to fly from or to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. During the many and many hours I spent online in the meantime, I found out that many people don't know the exact rules and procedures of Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. Because our aim is to make virtual ATC as real as possible, I decided to make this page to inform unfamilair and other interested pilots about the procedures at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport.
