[18th October, 04:00-21:30z] Zurich Real Operatings Hours 2020

[Ramon Balimann]

Have you ever...

...dreamed of ATC all day long?
...wished to have controllers guiding you on early morning approaches while the sun is rising?
...wanted to fly a four leg rotation with guaranteed service on your departure and arrival?
...hoped to get a whole day of ATC as real as it gets?
We make it happen! Zurich Airport will be open on October 18th during the real operating hours!

Be the first one to touch down as IFR-traffic on runway 34 at 0605 local time. Long haul inbounds arriving within the first hour will enjoy iStream tactical steering to guarantee an optimum approach sequence. If early, join the holding until we are allowed to let you approach the airport.

As VFR traffic, explore the beautiful mountaineous Swiss landscape just minutes south of Zurich. Fly to Samedan for a delicious nut cake at the highest airliner airport in Europe and enjoy the breathtaking view of the alps. When returning, be prepared to get close to the big birds! Zurich still handles both, VFR and IFR traffic, unlike other European majors.

Zurich is a unique airport with a lot of operational restrictions due to noise abatement and its challenging layout. We know it by heart and love this airport with all its rough edges.

Be part of the experience and let Zurich come to life for a whole day on Ocotber 18th from 0400 to 2130z!

Danke für das tolle Event! Wir sind als SWR96C mit Shared Cockpit aus Tegel gekommen, hatten extra eine Stunde Extra-Fuel eingepackt und mussten trotzdem im RILAX-Holding irgendwann melden, dass wir nur noch zehn Minuten haben, bevor wir diverten müssen - und so ist es dann auch gekommen. Gerade im Shared Cockpit hat sich das alles sehr realistisch angefühlt inklusive der Entscheidungsfindung und der dann doch recht hektischen Phase bei der Diversion - das hat riesigen Spaß gemacht. Vielen Dank an alle Beteiligen!
