Amsterdam Schiphol Spotting Guide

Published by Bas at August 5, 2014 - last modified on January 18, 2021

Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (IATA: AMS, ICAO: EHAM) is the largest airport in the Netherlands and welcomed 71.7 million passengers in 2019. So if you are going to Amsterdam, don’t forget to make a stop at this interesting airport. The airport is the gateway to the Netherlands and Amsterdam has only international flights, with some small exceptions by businessjets and governmental flights.

The most popular destinations are in Europe. The following Airlines have a Hub in AMS: Corendon Dutch Airlines, Delta Airlines, Easyjet, KLM, KLM Cityhopper, Martinair Cargo, Transavia, TUI Netherlands and Vueling. There are flights to all continents except for Australia . The largest regular visitor into Amsterdam is the 2x daily Emirates A380 flight to Dubai.
There are also a lot of cargo destinations especially to Afrika, Asia and the Americas.

Amsterdam is one of the spotterfriendliest airports in Europe and apart from the huge viewing terrace on the terminal building, two special spotterplaces were created outside the airports perimeter. The one at the Polderbaan is the most frequented one with toilets and some small food places during the summer. Additionally there is the McDonald’s close to the RWY 27 threshold which has a large area outside to accomodate spotters and enthusiasts. As spotting is a well known hobby here everyone is tolerating you at the airport. Another good thing is that the use of a radio scanner for listening to ATC communications is allowed in this country.

A great 24h real time schedule, arrival and departure times, aircraft type, registration and destinations can be found HERE – DutchPlaneSpotters.nl
Furthermore the omgevingsinfoschiphol app for Android and iOS is pretty useful. It is a radar which display the exact runway an aircraft will use at AMS, once it has entered the dutch airspace.

Runway use can be monitored via:  https://www.lvnl.nl/nl/airtraffic

Spotting Information
Ladder On some spots necessary (where it is always mentioned), but as the airport is surrounded by waterways instead of fences, there a lots of spotting places where you won’t need a ladder.
Car/Public Transport Recommended as the distances are enourmous. It can mean up to 20km from one end of the airport to another.
Restrooms Terminal, Spotterplaats Polderbaan or McDonald’s
Drinks/Food There are two McDonald’s, some restaurants in the terminal, several gas stations and supermarkets for example in Hoofddorp or Aalsmeer.
Hotels Lots of hotels all around the airport but nothing special to watch or photograph the planes.
Season We suggest May-Oktober as this is the summertime. It can get very cold during the winter and a lot of fog can come up.

Taxiway V Afternoon

WHERE The spot is along the perimeter fence parallel to taxiway.
By public transport: take bus 145 from Hoofddorp/Lelylaan or 161 Hoofddorp/Zwanenburg and exit at Vijfhuizerweg. Cross the bridge and you are at the fence.
Park your car at the marked parking spot and walk back to the spot – however, you can choose between two options here:

  • a) Along the fence for the taxiway only
  • b) in the eastern corner just next to the highway for the taxiway and runway 18C/36C
WHAT You can take pictures of all planes coming or going to the Polderbaan. There is a fence at this location, so you need a ladder here! 3-steps are sufficient for most people. The further you stand to the east, the closer you will be to the airplanes. The closest you can get is a crashgate (also marked on the map), where you can even shoot without a ladder. But you are extremely close here and particularly widebody aircraft will be heavily distorted.
You can also stand further east, where you see the planes coming from the terminal turning onto the taxiway V as well as the runway 18C/36C.
TIME Good spot in the summer from ~13:00 until evening.
From option b, you can also shoot from 11 on as the aircraft turn there.
MISC. There are a few trees for some shade. Ladder needed here. 4-5 steps are great!
Heat haze at option b is a problem due to the highway below.
FOCAL LENGTH
Totally depending where you stand along the fence, but…
For the taxiway V it is: 18-200 mm
For the runway it is 70-250mm (B78X = 130mm / A318 = 240mm)

Option a – the bridge:

View from a 5 step ladder:
Taxiway V Morning

WHERE Park your car at the Hoodweg at the marked spot and walk up the farmtrack. You can also walk up the farmtrack a bit closer to the taxiway, but always mind other spotters behind you, who might prefer the marked track.
By public transport: take bus 145 from Hoofddorp/Lelylaan or 161 Hoofddorp/Zwanenburg and exit at Vijfhuizerweg. Cross the bridge and the taxiway tunnel to reach the spot.
WHAT This place is good for all planes taxiing to and from the Polderbaan.
You can also shoot heavies departing out of RWY 36C in the evening from this location. Though they are a bit further away, heavies should be perfectly fine.
TIME For the taxiway V, light conditions in the summer are perfect from sunrise till ~10:00.
For 36C Departures, light conditions in the summer are perfect from  ~15:00 till sunset.
MISC. There is nothing else than the spot. No ladder needed!
FOCAL LENGTH 100mm for a B772 and 150mm for a B738.

Hoofdweg - 18C arrivals, 18L taxiing

WHERE Use the parking location for the morning side and walk to the spot from there. You can use the small hill leading up to the plastic wall of the highways as an elevation point. Do not go up to the ultimate top, as police do not like you standing so close to the highway.

You can either stand in the west or the east of the channel – switching position might be easier from the Northern side as the car can be parked just at the hills edge down there. Therefore the taxiway is clearer visible from the Southern side…

By public transport: take bus 145 from Hoofddorp/Lelylaan or 161 Hoofddorp/Zwanenburg and exit at Vijfhuizerweg. Cross the bridge, walk under the taxiway and autobahn tunnel to reach the spot. Its pretty far away from the bus stop!

WHAT This location is ideal for arrivals on RWY 18C in the evening. Maybe you’ll get taxiing aircraft to runway 18L before departure as well.
TIME Light conditions in the summer are perfect from ~15:00 till sunset.
MISC. There is nothing else here. No ladder needed, go up the hill!
FOCAL LENGTH 100mm for a B744 and 180mm for a B738

Tweeduizend El - 18C arrivals

WHERE This spot is directly at the side of the Tweeduziend El Street on the side of of a farm track as marked on the map. Park your car on the paved area.
By public transport: take bus 145 from Hoofddorp/Lelylaan or 161 Hoofddorp/Zwanenburg and exit at Vijfhuizerweg. Cross the bridge, walk under the taxiway and autobahn tunnel and take the next main road right. Its pretty far away from the bus stop!
WHAT From this spot you can catch all 18C arrivals in the morning hours.
TIME Light conditions in the summer are good from sunrise till ~13:00
MISC. There is nothing at this spot.

Rijnlanderweg pads - 18C departures

WHERE The Rijnlanderweg has some concrete slabs alongside the road. Find the slab where the aircraft are above the fence. Spotting here is a bit tricky due to the fence/poles in addition to the point that one never know where an aircraft will exactly rotate. Sometimes we pokered for example where heavies will rotate probably, but they were still behind the fence where we stood in the end…
WHAT Departures 18C (rare event, almost only, when 06 is closed). High 36C might be okay as well.
TIME From late midday till sunset.
MISC. Everything you need can be found inside the nearby cities. Ladder might be useful to be able to even shoot earlier…

Heat haze and the poles are a problem!

FOCAL LENGTH 70-300mm
B77W = 120mm / A318 = 250mm

Angle and position of aircraft (regarding behind/over fence) may vary depending on where exactly you stand as you can choose from all the way down here:

Farmerpath - 36C arrivals, 18C rotations and 24 Departures

WHERE This spot is located at the end of a farmers track next to a little river and pond. The easiest (and to be honest onliest) way to reach the spot is from the main street Rijnlanderweg, which runs west of the A5. The gate at the front of the street (right after you left “Rijnlanderweg”) might be closed, so you can’t enter the path, but after 5 visits we hadn’t had this yet.

Spotting here is a bit tricky due to the poles.

WHAT Arrivals on runway 36C and late rotations on runway 18C. You can even see departures from runway 24 from here.
TIME From late midday till sunset.
MISC. Everything needed can be found inside the nearby shops or gas stations. No ladder needed, enough parking posibilities. Heat haze might be a problem in summer months, because the highway is running between the spot and the runway.

It sounds strange, but heavy traffic jam can be sh*tty, because the cars will probably produce a lot of heat!

FOCAL LENGTH 100-350mm
18C/36C => F100 = 240mm / B744 = 125mm
24 Dep => B744 = 290mm

Advertisement Board - 36C arrivals, 18C late rotations, Taxiway Q

WHERE This spot is no exact location, rather the are along the “Rijkerstreek”, because everybody has another favourite angle. Example shots were taken from the marked spot on the map, between the triangular advertising board and the bus stop. The easiest way to reach thjis spot is by parking your car inside the “Pelikanweg” and walk here by foot or by using the bus stop, which is located 20 meters away from the used position.

Spotting here is a bit tricky due to the poles. To avoid this, you can go a bit to the south, so the planes are higher and above the poles. Of course, the angle won’t be that good anymore then.

WHAT Arrivals on runway 36C and late rotations on runway 18C. From here you can also see aircraft using Taxiway Q, but gears are cut off from here, that’s why mostly “partshoots” or “moodshots” are better than total-aircraft pictures.
TIME From sunrise till late midday.
MISC. Everything needed can be found inside the nearby shops or the terminal facilities. No ladder needed, parking posibilities limited. The easiest spots to park your car at are the parking bays near spot #9 (west of this spot). Heat haze is a problem in summer months, because the highway is running between the spot and the runway.

It sounds strange, but heavy traffic jam can be sh*tty, because your view might be disturbed and the cars will probably produce a lot of heat!

Taxiway Q

WHERE +++UPDATE July 2020: This place currently not available due to the construction of an extra taxiway. For more information (and a map) look here.+++

If you follow the Pelikaanweg you will see the Taxiway Q. Parking is rather difficult. There are some carparks, but it’s only allowed to park here for 15 or 30 minutes. It is advised to park at the designated carparks near the main terminals instead. It is a 15 minute walk from terminal 1.
By public transport: take a bus to/from the airport and exit at Schiphol, Uiverweg.

WHAT This spot is good for all aircraft taxiing on the Taxiway Q. Stairs are helpful as the grass is sometimes too high.
TIME Light conditions are perfect from ~13:00 till late evening
MISC. There is nothing here.

Observation Deck - ramp C, D and E gates

WHERE You can reach the Panorama Terrace from the ground floor by taking the stairs, escalator or elevator at Café Rembrandt. On the next floor (in Departure Hall 1) you then take the stairs or escalator at desk row 1 to the second floor, where a footbridge leads you to the Panorama Terrace. There are no disturbing security checks, glass walls, fences etc. and the entrance is free of charge too! Monitors next to the entrance are displaying all arrivals and departures.
WHAT Photography is only possible between C and D gates and between D and E gates. In the summer months there is a lot of heat haze and the APU’s of the aircraft can cause distortions too.
TIME You can visit the terrace for the whole day.
MISC. Restrooms, supermarket and restaurants are inside the Terminal. Enough benches are on the terrace as well as a KLM Fokker 100 PH-OFE on display.
FOCAL LENGTH 70-400 mm (depends on what you are photographing)

Toekanweg - Cargo aprons + 06 touchdown + 24 departures

WHERE This spot is at the end of the Toekanweg. Parking is not allowed here. At the weekend it shouldn’t be a problem if you only do a really short stop here to take your pictures.
By public transport: take a bus to/from the airport and exit at Schiphol, Valkweg.
WHAT Here you can photograph cargo aircraft that park on the cargo apron next to you, but you can also see the apron on the other site of the runway partly – taking good pictures i shrd though!
In addition, you have a limited view on runway 06 for about 2-3 shots at the touchdown zone as well as on departing aircraft from runway 24.
TIME Light conditions in the summer are good from 14:00 for the apron and 18:00 on the runway till sunset.
MISC. You have nothing here.
For departures and cargo apron shots a ladder is needed so you can get to the fence directly and shoot over it to avoid obstacles in the bottom.

    In the summer how good is the weather, is it often sunny? Would you expect good sunlight 50% of the time, 70%?
