Civil Airfield Bitburg (EDRB)

EDRB operates as a PPR (Prior Permission Required) airfield, with requests handled efficiently via an online form and confirmations typically arriving within a few days. The airfield features a long asphalt runway of approximately 1200 meters, suitable for general aviation, and is straightforward to approach despite proximity to the Spangdahlem military CTR; routing from the east may require minor deviations but presents no significant difficulty. Procedures may vary; see AIP/NOTAM.

The atmosphere is relaxed, with consistently friendly and helpful staff. A well-frequented bistro is located directly at the field, offering good food and a terrace overlooking the apron. Parking is available directly in front of the tower and restaurant. Both Avgas and Jet A1 are available.

Example: landing fee about €30.

The airfield has hosted car racing events on weekends, which can affect apron and taxiway availability; checking NOTAMs is advised. Noise abatement areas must be avoided as instructed by ATC.
