From BRAVO follow the VFR route to YANKEE. Remain northeast of the road.
Overhead the woods turn left to YANKEE.
Report east abeam YANKEE and follow ATC instruction.
If no ATC instruction is received, hold over YANKEE and expect traffic on both the arrival and departure route.
Proceed overhead and cross the runway as instructed by ATC.
Descend to circuit altitude and turn left to join downwind RWY05 (lefthand circuit) as instructed by ATC.


MIKE Arrival, Direct Joining
Enter the CTR at 1500 FT AMSL.
From MIKE follow the VFR route to X-RAY. Remain at least 500M west of the highway.
Report abeam X-RAY and follow ATC instruction.
If no ATC instruction is received, hold over X-RAY and expect traffic on the arrival route.
Descend to circuit altitude and turn right to join downwind RWY05 (lefthand circuit) as instructed by ATC.


RWY23

BRAVO Arrival, Overhead Joining *check NOTAMS
Enter the CTR at 1300 FT AMSL.
From BRAVO follow the VFR route to YANKEE. Remain northeast of the road.
Overhead the woods turn left to YANKEE.
Report east abeam YANKEE and follow ATC instruction.
If no ATC instruction is received, hold over YANKEE and expect traffic on both the arrival and departure route.

VFR TRAFFIC CIRCUITS

1) General:

RWY05: a lefthand circuit, maintain 1000 FT AMSL until turning base.
RWY23: a righthand circuit, maintain 1000 FT AMSL until turning base.

2) Note: for traffic reasons pilots may be instructed to extend downwind.

3) Pilots shall wait for and adhere to ATC clearances and make routine reports.

4) After joining the circuit and for every following circuit:

  • Report downwind and intentions (e.g. “touch-and-go”, “full stop” or “practice go-around”).
  • ATC will issue a sequence number, the traffic to follow, and additional instructions.
  • Do not turn base before the traffic to follow and only after receiving your sequence number.
  • After receiving your sequence number, turn base and final at own discretion.
  • Maintain own separation from other VFR traffic.
  • Reporting final is compulsory when no landing clearance is received.
  • In case of a go-around return to standard circuit, unless instructed otherwise by ATC, and contact ATC.

VFR TRAINING CIRCUITS

1) Training circuit RWY 05 lefthand and RWY 23 righthand at 500 FT AMSL.

2) In case of a go-around return to training circuit, unless instructed otherwise by ATC, and contact ATC. Downwind is marked by a visual reference marking on the ground.

3) Prior to start-up, the pilot can request Lelystad Delivery to use the VFR training circuit. If the VFR training circuit is not available, a request can be made to use the standard circuit at 1000 FT AMSL for a VFR training flight.

COMMUNICATION FAILURE PROCEDURES

General
Select transponder code 7600.
If possible call Amsterdam ACC Supervisor +31 20 406 3999.
If telephone connection is disconnected prematurely (before read-back), revert to communication failure procedures.

VFR OUTBOUND
In case of communication failure adhere to the departure instructions. If the departure instructions contain a clearance limit in the CTR, leave the CTR via the shortest route, maintain altitude until outside the CTR, do not cross runway centreline and proceed to an appropriate aerodrome.

VFR INBOUD
Via BRAVO and MIKE Arrival
- In case of communication failure before X-RAY and YANKEE, leave the CTR according to the BRAVO or MIKE Departure and divert to an appropriate aerodrome.
- In case of communication failure over or after X-RAY and YANKEE, execute a circuit for the last received and acknowledged runway as short as practicable. Make a full stop landing and vacate the runway as soon as possible. In case of go-around execute a similar circuit (be aware of the fact that your flight patch could interfere with the flight path of other aerodrome traffic).
Via a different route to the field
- In case of communication failure before joining the circuit, leave the CTR via the shortest route, maintain altitude until outside the CTR, do not cross runway centre line and proceed to an appropriate aerodrome.
- In case of communication failure over or after a position from where to join the circuit, execute a circuit for the last received and acknowledged runway as short as practicable. Make a full stop landing and vacate the runway as soon as possible. In case of go-around execute a similar circuit (be aware of the fact that your flight patch could interfere with the flight path of other aerodrome traffic).

VFR CROSSING THE CTR
In case of communication failure leave the CTR via the shortest route, maintain altitude until outside the CTR, do no cross runway centre line and proceed to an appropriate aerodrome.
