Some noise disturbance to be expected

10.07.2014.- In the period from 14 to 17 July, calibration flights will be conducted at Frankfurt Airport between 2300 hrs and 0500 hrs. These flights will use both operating directions (easterly and westerly weather patterns). If the flight inspection cannot take place as scheduled, for example due to bad weather, it will be rescheduled for the night from 17 to 18 July 2014.

A twin-turboprop Beechcraft King Air 350 will be used as the calibration aircraft.

Despite the night curfew at Frankfurt Airport, technical flight checks such as calibration flights may also be conducted at night as they would have an immense impact on regular air traffic during the day.

The calibration of technical facilities is indispensable for the safety of air traffic. DFS would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused by such flights.
