Please try to enter the aerodrome circuit by a downwind approach at all times. Straight-in approaches cause unnecessary stress on residential areas affected. In principle, the aerodrome operator FSL Flugplatz Speyer Ludwigshafen GmbH considers such approaches as undesirable and only permissible in exceptional cases, subject to prior agreement with the air traffic control centre at Speyer aerodrome.

Our air traffic control staff have also been instructed to carry out random checks of flight preparation to enable them to provide our guests with up-to-date information about the aerodrome circuit in Speyer as required. Many thanks for your kind understanding. By courtesy of DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH. For flight navigation details please refer exclusively to the AIP VFR aeronautical information publication.
The inner city area of Speyer around the cathedral and the public outdoor swimming centre are areas sensitive to noise. Flights passing over these areas and over Oberhausen, Rheinhausen and Altlussheim (highlighted in red) should be avoided where possible. Approach and departure flights must not pass over the refineries located to the east and south-east of the aerodrome. Our customers and visitors are requested to keep to the aerodrome circuit as closely as possible. The position of the aerodrome circuit as published has been chosen with the express purpose of minimising noise disturbance to the neighbourhood as far as possible, although this cannot be entirely avoided. The noise reduction provided by the aerodrome circuit is intended in particular for the benefit of the residents of Oberhausen-Rheinhausen to the south of the aerodrome, but also to protect the Old Town areas to the east of the Speyer cathedral, which are occasionally passed over by incoming and outgoing flights. This could be avoided in most cases if the pilots kept more closely to the aerodrome circuit. Air traffic in general and aviation as a recreational sport in particular depend on broad acceptance by the neighbouring public. The reduction of avoidable noise disturbance is an important step in pursuing this goal. |
