Civil Airfield Langeoog (EDWL)

EDWL (Langeoog) is suitable for non-commercial general aviation, with PPR required in winter and typically available with about one hour’s notice. The airfield has a 600 m paved runway and no taxiway; parking is mainly on grass, with a small hard ramp for up to four aircraft. The surface is generally firm, and tie-downs are recommended. There is no fuel available. Approaches to runway 05 can be turbulent due to nearby woodland, especially in crosswinds; vegetation has been cleared near the threshold, but turbulence remains possible. For runway 23, a slight elevation (dike) is present on approach.

The tower staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful, though experiences may vary. Communication is concise; pilots are asked for departure aerodrome ICAO code and persons on board at first contact, ideally 15 NM out. Expect a lunch break (typically 13:00–15:00 LT) during which no movements are allowed; check opening times before planning.

Fees are moderate for the region. Example: landing, PPR (in winter), and one night parking about €30; day trip including landing and tourist tax for two persons about €20. Tourist tax applies per person and is collected with landing fees.

Facilities include a playground next to the airfield and a restaurant/café offering drinks, coffee, and cake; availability may vary by season or operator. The town center is 7–10 minutes on foot from the airfield, with beaches accessible in 15–20 minutes walking. Bicycle rental is available in town but not directly at the airfield.

Motor vehicles are banned on the island. The location is well-suited for day trips or overnight stays, offering short walking distances to amenities and attractions. Procedures vary; see AIP/NOTAM for operational details.
