Civil Airfield Arnsberg Menden (EDLA)

Very pilot-friendly airfield.
Moderate fees.
Friendly staff.

Competent maintenance (LTB Arnsberg) at the field.

You can tell that the airfield is run by an aviation-minded entrepreneur with his own flight operations.

Restaurant "JU52" with good quality and reasonable opening hours. (https://www.flugplatzhotel-arnsberg-menden.com/)

No published traffic pattern; noise-sensitive are the "Wildwald Voßwinkel" to the south, the town of Wickede to the north, and the clinic to the west of the airfield.

The standard traffic pattern is to the north; the above mentioned town of Wickede should be avoided.

The glider airfield Menden-Barge to the west, Class D airspace from 2,500 ft MSL, and the Dortmund control zone (Class D) must be observed.
