How better to celebrate a warm and sunny spring then with a tour of our more unique airports? By popular demand, vACC Switzerland is proud to announce its third "Staff the Minors" event, and its last opus before the summer break. This time, we invite you to visit Switzerland's northern borders with a "Follow the Rhine" edition, this Sunday 15th of May between 12:00z and 15:00z. Travel along this historic landmark river and fly IFR or VFR between EDNY, LFSB and LSZR for a truly tri-national event.
Friedrichshafen - EDNY (Charts | Sceneries)
Sitting on the banks of the Lake of Constance, Friedrichshafen has long been a European hub for GA enthusiasts. With 4 aprons, a glider strip and a capable runway within a stone's throw of Zurich, Friedrichshafen never fails to impress with its breath-taking views and aviation pedigree. And with real commercial routes operating out of this cross-border airport, the choices are endless.
Basel-Mulhouse - LFSB (Charts | Sceneries)
A staple of our last edition, Basel was a popular destination for GA pilots and commercial aircraft alike. Its bustling city centre and signature Jurassic scenery always make for a picturesque experience that is sure to keep you intrigued. Fly in a twin-aisle commercial jet and navigate the tight apron, or perhaps try your hand at some VFR action to take in the view; Basel always has exactly what you're looking for.
St. Gallen Altenrhein - LSZR (Charts | Sceneries)
With by far the shortest runway, a tricky arrival flow and intricate VFR procedures, Altenrhein is not for the faint-hearted. Lying at the foot of the towering Alps and nestled between busy airspaces, this airport is sure to keep you poised and on your toes. Just across the lake from Friedrichshafen, Altenrhein is the perfect hub for pilots who want a challenge. But with a tight apron and narrow runway, best to leave your commercial jets in the hangar.
