| Geography |
Zulu Lima sits in a forest area South of the town of Beek, 1 nm
from the threshold of runway 22 of EHBK. It was the only beacon that until
now managed to totally fool us by its excellent camouflage. We parked our
car less than 30 meters from it, and did not spot it at all, because it is
surrounded by large trees on all but one side. Only when we returned back to
our car, sure to have a wrong map coordinate, we saw the antenna!
The
building of the local scouting club Sint Martinus is next to the beacon
site. |
| Procedures |
ZL functions as the main beacon for the NDB approach to EHBK
runway 22. It is in line with the runway and also with NW, another NDB six
miles further out. |
| Remarks |
As one of the few beacons, this one has a real wooden building
to house the electronics. |
