As of Thursday, 26 January 2023 , the Northern Area will be put into operation.

Infrastructure involved

The Northern Area (NA) refers to the infrastructure to the northwest of the runway. Specifically, the following sections will be put into operational use:

• Taxiways N, A, A1 and A2
• Apron L

FATO and HELEX are also located on the Northern Area. These two helicopter areas were already in operational use as of 7 November 2019.

Use

The Northern Area is primarily used for larger visiting business aviation aircraft (spans between 24 and 36 meters). Four aircraft stands are available for parking such aircraft: L5 through L8. In addition, the Northern Area can be used for long-term parking (several days) of smaller visiting aircraft. Arrangements for this can be made in advance with the Operations Department (OD). Aircraft with said larger wingspan (24-36m) from LA-based companies will continue to be handled on the Southern Area (ZA).

Operational consequences

General

The main operational consequence of putting the Northern Area into operation will be that pilots will observe ground traffic on the northern taxiways and the northern Apron L. Also, as of 26 January, the runway can be entered and exited from both sides: entry can be via N1 or N2 for takeoff direction 23 and via N4 or N3 for takeoff direction 05. Air traffic from the current (Southern) area – which normally uses intersections S1 and S5 at takeoff – can therefore also expect departing traffic from the physical start of the runway. Landing traffic should take into account that air traffic with destination Northern Area will exit the runway via N2 (in case of a landing on runway 05) or N3 (in case of a landing on runway 23).

Use of FATO/HELEX

FATO/HELEX operators have since been informed separately by LA and LVNL about the Northern Area being put into operation as of 26 January. Specifically, the local rule is that if air traffic has to taxi on runway N between N3 and A2, helicopters must be grounded in the FATO or HELEX or insert into the training circuit.

Communications

The decision to put the Northern Area into operation has been incorporated into the AIP per effective date 26 January 2023. Specific changes:

Preventing runway and taxiway incursions

As at other airports, runway incursions and taxiway incursions are committed at Lelystad Airport with some regularity. Given the safety risks it poses, Lelystad Airport, together with Air Traffic Control the Netherlands (LVNL) and local users, have decided to place extra focus on this.

We would like to ask you to make the animation as widely known as possible among your own tenants, club members and individual pilots, in order to further jointly improve safety at Lelystad Airport.
