Airport Heringsdorf (EDAH) IFR

VFR arrivals and departures are straightforward, with friendly and efficient ATC. IFR operations require the control zone (CTR) to be active and a qualified flight director present; CTR activation is not guaranteed and advance phone confirmation is essential for IFR, as published schedules may change without NOTAM. When the CTR is inactive, only VFR is possible. Procedures may vary; see AIP/NOTAM.

Landing fees for GA aircraft typically range from about €20 to €60, with parking fees around €10 per night. Example: landing and three days parking about €50–€60. Payment is possible via AeroPS app or at the tower office; fuel payment may be separate at the apron booth. App2Drive rental cars are available on site, but advance reservation is advised during busy periods. Taxis should be arranged in advance to avoid delays; typical fares to Ahlbeck or Heringsdorf are about €20–€25, with some hotels offering free shuttle service by prior arrangement.

The airfield offers grass and paved parking areas; bring tie-down equipment for grass parking, as ground conditions can be sandy or uneven in places. The Hangar 10 museum is on site and worth visiting. Restaurant availability varies, with closures reported at times; an on-field café or snack bar may be available instead.

Customs and immigration are available with prior notification; procedures are generally uncomplicated. The airport staff are consistently described as friendly and helpful. Heringsdorf/Usedom is a relaxed destination with good infrastructure for general aviation pilots seeking access to the Baltic coast resorts.
