Problems with the Netherlands map

While preparing for a trip I ran into a few issues with the chart for the Netherlands. Some information seems to be missing.

  1. The DutchMil frequency is not shown (well, that’s not so important).

  2. At least the following TMZ (Transponder Mandatory Zone) is missing. Actually, in the Netherlands there is almost everywhere a TMZ above 1,200 ft MSL. These are not particularly problematic; you just need an active Mode S transponder. But you do need to know this:

  1. The North Sea‑typical HPZs / HTZs (Helicopter Traffic Zones) are missing; these are established to service the oil platforms and have requirements that are almost like control zones. Example:

The screenshots come from the official and current VFR chart. It is (commendably!) available for free as a download: https://www.lvnl.nl/diensten/aip/downloads
However, the corresponding information is also available on OpenFlightmaps.

Best regards and thanks in advance!

Sorry to follow up. There was just a map update… but the issues mentioned still persist. Is there no solution for this?

Thanks, Martin

Hello Martin,
your post was overlooked.
Thanks for the heads-up.

An update with TMZ-E is on the way.

Regarding HTZ: Is there an official source for that statement?
