Civil Airfield Salzgitter Druette (EDVS)

EDVS features a distinctive circuit pattern that routes around a large steelworks, with final approach to runway 07 requiring alignment between two smokestacks. The circuit is notably large and may be challenging in low sun, especially for low-wing aircraft. Runway 07 offers an interesting approach over industrial sites and is suitable for short field landing and takeoff training. The airfield is sometimes used by government flights; NOTAMs should be checked for operational updates.

Pilots describe friendly and helpful staff, with positive experiences during refueling and general operations. Fuel is available, though card payment may not always be possible. Facilities have included a small on-field restaurant or café, but availability may vary. Some reports mention the asphalt runway as being rougher than expected, and there are mixed impressions regarding the general upkeep of the airfield.

PPR is required, but approval is typically prompt. Example: landing fee about €10. Procedures vary; see AIP/NOTAM.
