Airport Sylt (EDXW) IFR

Remarks: I flew a C172 to Sylt for an overnight and can only report good things. Entry completely hassle-free via the Sierra route, simple and clear radio comms, then straight to base and final for runway 32, followed by straightforward taxi instructions. Taxied directly to the fuel station, unlocked without fuss and fueled, then parked the aircraft and secured it with ropes to the ground tie-down rings, and done. In total it took at most 20 minutes. Fuel could be paid by card. The next morning I paid 24€ for one night, even got an ice cream, and departed from runway 14 fifteen minutes later. The fuel-and-fish-sandwich voucher apparently no longer exists. Important: 1. Don’t forget a high-visibility vest. 2. Check opening hours beforehand; in my case they opened at 10 LT instead of 0900. 3. SIXT delivers the rental car directly to the GAT if you enter “GAT” as the flight number during the booking. In my case a friendly staff member drove the car over within 15 minutes and I could drive off after one minute. Overall, a clear recommendation from me.
