| Geography |
November Whiskey is positioned North-East of Sittard in the Dutch
province of Limburg. It is literally located ten meters off the German
border, just before the outskirts of Tüddern and next to what likely is
the border ditch. A totally unsurveilled bridge nearby provides border
crossing opportunities, although the access road is officially closed for
motorised traffic. |
| Procedures |
NW is located directly under the approach path for EHBK runway
22, and is the initial approach fix of the ILS/NDB approach for this
runway. From NW via ZL to the runway is a straight line of 7 nm. |
| Remarks |
Identifier NW was chosen because the beacon is located within
the community of Nieuwstadt (but Sittard is closer). In Summer 2009, NW got
a brand-new transmitter made by Nautel (thanks to Berry van de Crommert for
the info). |
