Added Restricted areas EHR 1A, 1B, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56 and 57.
Added SRZ Regte Heide (displayed as R, activated by NOTAM).
Removed local glider sectors at Eindhoven and Schinveld. Remarks:
EHR 1A and 1B: Military exercises. Prohibited, unless permission from AOCS Nieuw Milligen. Activated by NOTAM.
EHR 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57: Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). Prohibited, unless permission from AOCS Nieuw Milligen. MON-THU 0700- 2300 (0600-2200),FRI 0700-1600 (0600-1500),or when activated by NOTAM.
Twenthe CTR is still included in this file. Awaiting final decision from the Dutch government concerning the future of ENSCHEDE/Twenthe, the following applies: 1) ENSCHEDE/Twenthe remains closed until further notice; local glider flying and motor flying can be expected. 2) The Twenthe ATZ remains active. 3) The Twenthe CTR is deactivated; entry and crossing clearances are not required. 4) TWENTHE NDB TWN is deactivated.
Integrated Glider Sectors in Beek, Deelen en Eindhoven CTR to reduce the number of airspace warnings in PDA-software. Glider Sectors are parts of the CTR and these can now be de-activated without de-activa- ting the rest of the CTR. The philosophy used is that only when air- space has restrictions for gliders warnings shall be generated, no warnings shall be given for airspace that has no restrictions. Pilots therefor have to de-activate airspace for which the specific restrictions are not active for that flight or at the time of the warning. For example: if Terlet Area's A and B can be used by gliders without any restrictions then the pilot can de-activate these parts of the Deelen CTR during or before the flight without de-activating the entire Deelen CTR. In that case no airspace warnings shall be produced while flying in the Terlet Area's A and B, not for the Deelen CTR nor for the Terlet Area's A and B. However in this case airspace warnings will still be produced when approaching or entering Terlet Area's C and D and the remainder of the Deelen CTR.

28 Mar 11: Added version 11,3, effective 2011-03-11.

Removed Caution Area and note concerning Caution Area.
Removed note concerning EHD62 and EHD63.
Changed TMZ D and TMA D.

11 Mar 10: IMPORTANT CHANGES PER 2010-03-11 (phase 3 of TMZ-regulations):

The following Transponder Mandatory Zones (TMZ) are always active:

TMZ Maastricht: 1500 ft - FL 195
TMZ A: FL 065 - FL 195
TMZ C: FL 065 - FL 195
TMZ D: 2500 ft - FL 195
TMZ E: FL 065 - FL 095
TMZ Rotterdam: 2500 ft - FL 055

The following Transponder Mandatory Zones (TMZ) are active on weekdays from 09:00 until 17:00 local time, excluding holidays:

TMZ Eelde: 1200 ft - FL 065
TMZ Maastricht: 1200 ft - FL 195
TMZ A: 1200 ft - FL 195
TMZ B: 1200 ft - FL 065
TMZ C: 1200 ft - FL 195
TMZ D: 1200 ft - FL 195
TMZ E: 1200 ft - FL 095
TMZ G1: 1200 ft - FL 055
TMZ Rotterdam: 1200 ft - FL 055

Lower limit of Dutch Mil TMA's A, C, D and E Class B is raised from FL065 to FL095 from FRI 1700 to MON 0000 LT and during legal holidays. However, this does not apply to TMZ A, C, D North and E. As a result gliding above FL 065 in EHAA FIR is not possible during both weekdays, weekends ánd legal holidays without mode S transponder.

Be careful: Upper limit of Dutch Mil TMA B is always FL065, airspace above Dutch Mil TMA B is Amsterdam CTA East class A!

If a transponder is carried it should always be activated outside TMZs.
Do not activate transponder during winch-launches.
