What other pilots say about EDXY
Early April 2017, everything still as previously described: friendly reception, straightforward and pleasant approach, and well-maintained RWYs. The flight information officer was extremely helpful and entertaining, with weather and tips for accommodation. Would gladly come again!
Since the previous report is 8 years old and Wyk auf Föhr is such a great destination: It is one of the most visited destinations of my wife and I. It's such an enjoyable place with friendly people. The approach is beautiful, the beach is just around the corner and it's an easy walk into town. We usually have lunch in the Sydbar of the Upstalsboom Hotel with a beach view. It's a highly recommended place for lunch (though the restaurant at the airfield itself is also fine). For those who stay longer, the island has a lot to offer.
Two intersecting grass runways, both generally well maintained and suitable for most wind directions, with runway lengths around 500 meters. The airfield is known for its friendly and helpful staff, relaxed atmosphere, and efficient handling even during busy events like the annual August fly-in. Camping under the wing is allowed, and showers are available at the nearby beach. No fuel is available at the airfield. A restaurant operates on site, and a beach bar is within 10 minutes’ walk; the beach itself is 3–5 minutes away on foot. Bicycle rental is available at the airfield (about €5–€6 per day), but bikes can be in short supply during good weather; cycling or walking to Wyk town center takes about 15–30 minutes. Taxis are available for local transport.
Landing fees are moderate for a holiday island, with examples ranging from about €10 to €20 depending on aircraft weight; parking typically costs about €7 per day. Card payments are not accepted; payment is cash only. The airfield team often assists with accommodation arrangements and local recommendations. Circuit entry requires attention due to some vegetation near runway ends and occasional wildlife (rabbits, deer) on the field; turbulence may occur on short final, especially to runway 27/28 or when landing over trees/buildings. Noise abatement and minimum altitudes over the Wadden Sea (2000 ft AMSL) apply—see AIP/NOTAM for details.
No customs or immigration services are mentioned. The field is well suited for non-commercial general aviation visits focused on leisure, with easy access to beaches and local amenities.
