=== Polderbaan === | === 18C/36C Zwanenburgbaan === | ||
This runway is the back-up runway for the Polderbaan. So this runway is only used when it is very busy.<br> | |||
<br> | |||
You can only get into the approach of this runway. In the past you could drive all along the runway, but recent construction works (most notably the Polderbaan and the A5 motorway) have made this impossible.<br> | |||
<br> | |||
To get into the approach from motorway A4 (the motorway running through Schiphol) you must follow the signs towards Hoofddorp. This will get you on the N201. Once there take the exit towards Boesingheliede (N520). If you follow this road for a few minutes you will find yourself in the approach. There is not an official parking area, so please be carefull where you park. Do not hinder the traffic, as this might give the police a reason to send you off (or worse, give Schiphol a reason to close the spot!).<br> | |||

=== 18R/36L Polderbaan === | |||
The Polderbaan (18R/36L) is the newest runway, located in the middle of nowhere (by Dutch standards anyway). Because of that few people are annoyed by the aircraft noise, so this runway is used as much as possible.<br> | The Polderbaan (18R/36L) is the newest runway, located in the middle of nowhere (by Dutch standards anyway).
