3.2.2.4'(i) Sailplanes overtaking. A sailplane overtaking another sailplane may alter its course to the right or to the left.'SERA.3210(c)(3)(i).
3.2.3.2(b)(2) unless stationary and otherwise adequately illuminated, all aircraft on the movement area of an aerodrome shall display lights intended to indicate the extremities of their structure, as far as practicable;'SERA.3215(b)(2), specifies (with the addition to ICAO Standard in Annex 2, 3.2.3.2(b) of the underlined text).
3.2.5(c) and (d)'(c) except for balloons, make all turns to the left, when approaching for a landing and after taking off, unless otherwise indicated, or instructed by ATC;
(d) except for balloons, land and take off into the wind unless safety, the runway configuration, or air traffic considerations determine that a different direction is preferable.'
SERA.3225 differs from ICAO Standard in Annex 2, 3.2.5(c) and 3.2.5(d) in that it specifies that subparagraphs (c) and (d) do not apply to balloons.
3.3.1.2- With regards to VFR flights planned to operate across international borders, the Union regulation (SERA.4001(b)(5)) differs from the ICAO Standard in Annex 2, 3.3.1.2(e) with the addition of the underlined text, as follows:
'any flight across international borders, unless otherwise prescribed by the States concerned.'
- With regard to VFR and IFR flights planned to operate at night, an additional requirement is inserted to Union regulation SERA.4001(b)(6)as follows:
'(6) any flight planned to operate at night, if leaving the vicinity of an aerodrome.'
SERA.4001(b).
3.8 and Appendix 2Interception of aircraft.
The words 'in distress' of Chapter 3 Part 3.8, are not included in Union law, thus enlarging the scope of escort missions to any type of flight requesting such service. Furthermore the provisions contained in Appendix 2 Parts 1.1 to 1.3 inclusive as well as those found in Attachment A, are not contained in Union law.

3.1The main principles for border checks in the Netherlands are laid down in the Schengen Borders Code.Schengen Borders Code
3.5The general principles are laid down in art. 7(2) and 3(a,i) of the Schengen Borders Code.Schengen Borders Code
3.12If a non-machine readable passport is issued, the machine readable zone area is not filled with words such as "this passport is not machine readable".
3.22Applications shall be decided on within 15 calendar days of the date of lodging of an application, which is admissible [in accordance with article 19]. That period may be extended up to a maximum of 30 calendar days in individual cases, notably when further scrutiny of the application is needed or in cases of representation where the authorities of the represented Member State are consulted. Exceptionally, when additional documentation is needed in specific cases, the period may be extended up to a maximum of 60 calendar days. The Netherlands ensures that these deadlines are observed.Regulation 810/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 establishing a Community Code in Visas, art 23.
3.23Applicants have to appear in person. The requirement of personal appearance may be waived when the applicant is known to the embassy or consulate for his integrity and reliability (at locations where biometric identifiers have to be submitted in relation to visa applications, all applicants have to appear in person for their first application. After that, the biometric identifiers can be copied for future applications within a period of 59 months, so after that, applicants known for their integrity and reliability may be waived again).Regulation 810/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 establishing a Community Code on Visas, article 10.
3.24The period of validity of a visa and the length of the authorized stay, is based on the examination conducted in accordance with Regulation 810/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 establishing a Community Code on Visas. (A visa may be issued for one, two or multiple entries).Regulation 810/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 establishing a Community Code on Visas, article 24.
3.57According to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, art 77.2, the common visa and short stay policy is a competence of the European Parliament and the Council. For the European Parliament and the Council, abolishing or waiving the visa requirement for a maximum number of States is not an objective in itself. Before such a decision is taken, the consequences in the field of illegal immigration, public order, national security, external relations, public health and economic growth are taken into account.Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, art 77.2.

Chapter 5
5.9.1This is not the case in the Netherlands. According to article 26 of the Schengen Convention and Implementation Guideline 2001/51/EG, and as put in national law in article 5 of the Aliens Act, a carrier is obliged to return a third country national that has been denied entry to the Schengen area. According to EC-directive 2001/51 and art 65 Aliens Act, and 6.2 en 6.3 Aliens Decree, the carrier that transported the third country national is responsible for costs of stay and return in that specific period. No difference is being made between an improperly documented third country national or other categories of inadmissible third country nationals.
6.2 Aliens Decree: Our Minister can require the costs of return of an alien to the alien or carrier. A4/ 9.3 Aliens Act Implementation Guidelines: Our Minister can require the costs of return of an alien, and this includes also the costs of "stay", to the alien or carrier.
Schengen Convention, European Directives and Guidelines and National legislation as mentioned.
5.28Dutch nationals who need to return to the Netherlands are issued an emergency passport for admission, but not necessarily for readmission.
Nationals who are in the Netherlands are not necessarily eligible for this emergency passport. The right to refuse an emergency passport is a prerogative of the State.

Part I, section 4, chapter 5 5.4.4.bWhen precision and non-precision approaches are published on the same chart, the published circling minima are not increased to match the highest straight-in minima.
If the minima of the instrument approach procedure that precedes the circling manoeuvre are higher than the circling minima, the higher minima are applicable.

Part I,
Section 3
Chapter 6, paragraph 6.2As of 4 November 2021, when it is intended to use an instrument departure procedure and an instrument approach procedure in the same direction on parallel runways simultaneously, the nominal tracks of the departure procedure and of the missed approach procedure shall diverge by at least 30 degrees as soon as practicable (see Section 4, Chapter 10).Diverging missed approach procedures could not be determined without creating conflicts with other combined runway operations.
See also the Netherlands AltMoc for AMC4 ATS.TR.255.
Part I,
Section 4
Chapter 10, paragraph 10.1.2When it is intended to use approach procedures to parallel runways simultaneously, the following additional criteria shall be applied in the design of both procedures:
a) when the final approach course or track is intercepted by a published arrival and approach procedure that intercepts the initial approach fix (IAF) or intermediate fix (IF), the minimum altitudes of the intermediate approach segments of the two procedures shall differ by at least 300 M (1 000 FT) unless an RNP AR approach is used in accordance with 10.3 or vectoring is exclusively used to intercept the final approach tracks; and
b) the nominal tracks of the two missed approach procedures shall diverge by at least 30 degrees. Associated missed approach turns shall be specified "as soon as practicable".
Diverging missed approach procedures could not be determined without creating conflicts with other combined runway operations.
