EFNU - Nummela
APAPI approach lights have now been installed on Runway 04 at Nummela to better support night flying:
Please note that although the lights are functioning, they have not yet been approved for operational use.
Use them cautiously and report any observations.
Additionally, the standard 3-degree approach angle for the lights has temporarily been raised to 4 degrees. This is a temporary adjustment and will remain in effect until the trees at the end of the runway are cleared over the winter.
Nummela runway 09/27 closed
Starting at 11.11.2024 klo: 05:00 UTC until 04.04.2025 06:00 UTC
The runway lights can be operated as follows (using the aviation radio frequency 122.825):
Four clicks, with a one-second press and one-second interval, activate only the APAPI lights at brightness level two, suitable for daytime APAPI practice.
Five clicks, with a one-second press and one-second interval, activate both the runway and APAPI lights at brightness level one.
Six clicks, with a one-second press and one-second interval, activate both the runway and APAPI lights at brightness level two.
Seven clicks, with a one-second press and one-second interval, activate both the runway and APAPI lights at brightness level three.
From 18 April 2024, Nummela there is an RMZ area over the airfield and, as a result, also VFR reporting points. Have a look at the Visual Approach Chart as it will take some time to get the VFR Reporting Points published officially and they cannot be found yet on official electronic media.
