Civil Airfield Breitscheid (EDGB)

EDGB offers a relaxed and friendly atmosphere with consistently positive feedback on staff and service. The airfield features a recently renovated restaurant with an expanded sun terrace, praised for its quality food and welcoming environment. The landing fees are described as moderate or low, payable via AirOps/AEROPS. Example: landing fee about €20. Parking is primarily on grass, which is well maintained but can be soft or uneven at times; asphalt parking is limited. The asphalt runway and taxiway are generally in usable condition, though some reports note the runway and movement areas can be rough or have potholes, while grass taxiways may be unusable when wet.

Fuel is not available on site; nearest refueling is at Siegerland (EDGS). The airfield is situated in scenic surroundings, making it a popular destination for excursions and hiking. Approach procedures require attention: the runway may only become visible late in the circuit, and the pattern includes a prominent TV tower as a visual reference. Wind turbines are present near the circuit, and side winds—especially on runway 25—can be significant. Backtrack on the asphalt runway is common if avoiding grass taxiways.

No customs or immigration services are mentioned. EDGB is suitable for general aviation pilots seeking a welcoming stop with good food and pleasant surroundings, but plan for fuel elsewhere and exercise care with circuit entry and ground movement conditions.
