Airport Bamberg Breitenau (EDQA) IFR PPR

Landed at Bamberg on Sunday in a DR400. Right-hand traffic pattern, very extended, for landing runway 21. Parked on the grass parking area to the right of the taxiway. Almost everything here seems to have been newly built in recent years. Operations building with an Italian restaurant (tasty) and a tower, four large hangars—everything top-notch. A large regional automotive supplier apparently helped make everything new and spacious. Friendly AFIS officer and standard landing fees (just under €12) make a return visit to the airfield close to Bamberg likely. When the weather cooperates, the club on the field is active and PPR is no problem.

Excellent infrastructure thanks to the influence of the Brose company, no comparison to the previous US Army setup. PPR is more of a formality.

The restaurant looks stylish but unfortunately serves only the usual bratwurst/currywurst grub.
