Lukkien Heliport
Lukkien Heliport or Ede heliport is a small private heliport on top of the office building of Lukkien,[1] a Dutch producer of marketing communication services (advertising). It is located in the middle of the country alongside the A12 motorway just south-west of Ede, The Netherlands.

Private heliport, explicit permission needed from owner | |
As it is a private facility, explicit permission is needed to use the heliport. The main user of the facility is the owner to ferry clients to and from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport or other locations.
Navigation
The port has lights according to ICAO-Annex 14 rules. Lukkien radio listens on 131.775 MHz but there is no permanent watch. For pilots a standard approach map is available on-line.

gollark: What do Linux users do to change a lightbulb?First, a user creates a bug report, only for it to be closed with "could not reproduce" as the developers got to it in the day. Eventually, some nights later, someone realizes that it is actually a problem, and decides to start work on a fix, soliciting the help of other people.Debates soon break out on the architecture of the new lightbulb - should they replace it with an incandescent bulb (since the bulb which broke was one of those), try and upgrade it to a halogen or LED bulb, which are technically superior if more complex. or go to a simpler and perhaps more reliable solution such as a fire?While an LED bulb is decided on, they eventually, after yet more debate, deem off-the-shelf bulbs unsuitable, and decide to make their own using commercially available LED modules. However, some of the group working on this are unhappy with this, and splinter off, trying to set up their own open semiconductor production operation to produce the LEDs.Despite delays introduced by feature creep, as it was decided halfway through to also add RGB capability and wireless control, the main group still manages to produce an early alpha, and tests it as a replacement for the original bulb. Unfortunately it stops working after a few days of use, and debugging of the system suggests that the problem is because of their power supply - the bulb needs complex, expensive, and somewhat easily damaged circuitry to convert the mains AC power into DC suitable for the LEDs, and they got that bit a bit wrong.So they decide to launch their own power grid and lighting fixture standard, which is, although incompatible with every other device, technically superior, and integrates high-speed networking so they can improve the control hardware. Having completely retrofitted the house the original lightbulb failed in and put all their designs and code up on GitHub, they deem the project a success, and after only a year!
