5th Runway Control Tower (AMS) Amsterdam Schiphol Airport

In addition to the main Control at Schiphol Airport, there is an additional control tower near the new fifth runway.  (Tower West). This is because the runway is too far away from the main control tower.

It is 59m in height.  There are typically 2 controllers in the tower west and sometimes there is a third.
