Night flights over Neuburg: Pilot training announced from January 19th
It will soon be loud again in Neuburg-Zell. From next Monday, January 19th, night flights by Tactical Air Force Squadron 74 will be scheduled at the NATO airfield. These take place in calendar weeks four to six, from Monday to Thursday. The flights are part of pilot training and focus on essential skills such as interception maneuvers and aerial refueling, but also the use of night vision devices. The exercises are an important building block for the operational readiness of the Air Force and thus for security in southern Germany. [Donaukurier] reports that the LANTA Straubing airspace can be used in isolated cases.
Those responsible for the squadron understand the possible burdens on local residents and ask for your understanding. To be informed about the night flights and to submit any complaints, residents can contact the Bundeswehr Aviation Office's citizen hotline on the free number (0800) 862 07 30 or send an email to fliz@bundeswehr.org. These night shifts may vary depending on the weather and tanker aircraft availability, which is always kept in mind by the organizers.
Even more background on the training
The squadron's night flights are not just a formality, but they serve the entire training of the pilots in southern German airspace. [Regional reporter] emphasizes that these exercises contribute to the Bundeswehr's national and international operational capability. Above all, the ability to operate at night is part of the training. This is particularly important for the Bundeswehr in order to be able to meet the high demands in crisis situations.
The upcoming flights are more than just training - they are a statement of the Air Force's readiness to be able to react quickly even under difficult conditions. The technical benefits gained from training with night vision devices are enormous and contribute to the safety of everyone.
It will therefore be interesting to see how the first flights of this season will go and what further measures the Bundeswehr will take after the new round of training in order to continue to inform residents about the flight operating times and to make themselves available if they have any concerns.
