| Geography |
In the middle of the Beemster polder (therefore below sea level,
-5 meters according to the GPS), not close to a road. From the Wormerweg you
have a pretty good view though, about 318 meters distance. |
| Procedures |
Together with Pampus, Spijkerboor is a major fix in the airway
system, both low and high altitude. The VOR/DME is also used extensively
for radar vectoring planes to Amsterdam Schiphol runways 18C/R after they
leave their initial approach fix. |
