NDB approach runway 16 (March 1954) - Airfields in the vicinity: Dällikon (closed today), Dübendorf, Spreitenbach (also closed today). In contrast to the Glatt and Rhine beacons, the Trasadingen beacon does not seem to have been located exactly on the extended runway center line, but somewhat to the east of it. (Source: US DoD)

Airport (March 1954) - The beacon "KL" was located south of the beginning of runway 34. Later the runway was extended in this direction. (Source: US DoD)
