LOG: SAR demo Katwijk, 1-Aug-2009

[Rotorspot]

An ANWB EC135 helicopter unfortunately had left already before I arrived. The German Sea King had been cancelled.

The following two helicopters gave SAR demonstrations and landed on the boulevard:
266 SH-14D NL Navy
G-BIMU S-61N Bristow/Coastguard

EC-135 was the lifeliner 2; PH-ULP.

Also the PH-ATT (Schweitzer 269C) was seen flying along the coastline to the north.

Great event by the way !

Hai,

was er geen NOTAM van kracht die de airspace verboden gebied maakte op dat tijdstip (15.41 LT) en die vlieghoogte voor kruisend verkeer?

[Ranger]

Yes there was a NOTAM. Traffic was REQUESTED to avoid the area. It was not a prohibited area or a special rules zone (SRZ).

Cheers,
Ranger

There were several light aircraft and small boats that crossed the display area .......
