Pilot Comments for EDFO
Markus
Last September I landed at Michelstadt. The airfield sits above the town on a plateau, similar to the nearby airfield Main-Bullau. The runway is also sloped. The approach to runway 08 is somewhat demanding due to the steep terrain, taking you quite close over the trees. Because of the slope, part of the runway suddenly disappears behind the crest. Be aware of this and don't be startled, and to protect the brakes, plan to touch down relatively early. The PAPI also helps on landing. Takeoffs are generally made downhill, even with a tailwind. The fuel price was €2.50/L for 100LL, which was inexpensive. Everyone at the airfield was very friendly. I'll gladly come by again, thank you.

Landing fee €10 for up to 3 landings per day, regardless of MTOW. The airfield is challenging to approach (especially from the west), with lee turbulence in southerly wind; the runway has a downhill gradient from midfield.

Michelstadt (EDFO) is situated in the Odenwald and features a scenic but demanding airfield environment. Approaches to both runways require careful preparation: runway 08 involves a steep descent over trees with limited runway visibility due to sloping terrain, while runway 26 is approached uphill and can be challenging, especially from the west or in lee conditions with southerly winds. The airfield has a large northern circuit, and pilots are advised to review the AIP before arrival. The runway is curved, and from the midpoint, parts of it may not be visible; taxiways and parking areas can be tight and busy.
No mandatory landing fee is charged; instead, voluntary contributions are welcomed, typically paid via AirOPs or directly to the club. Example: landing fee about €10 for up to three landings per day. Fuel is available at favorable rates, including Mogas.
A well-regarded restaurant with a varied menu and locally sourced ingredients operates on the field, though it is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Café service and a selection of cakes are also available. The city center of Michelstadt is about 30 minutes on foot; taxi rides cost around €20. Accommodation options include a small hotel near the Brauhaus ("Die Träumerei").
The airfield staff are consistently described as friendly, helpful, and competent. PPR during weekdays is straightforward as someone is usually present; opening hours should be confirmed by phone. Procedures vary; see AIP/NOTAM for details.
