Pilot Comments for EGMD
Brice
Very helpful ATC. commonly used for instrument approach practice, they charge 28GBP per approach, you need to PPR ahead of time for a training block time
Sebastian
All information as previously described is still correct. Ideal UK entry/exit and fuel stop. Short walking distances and quick turnaround. About €25 landing fee for an AA5 and €1.62/l duty-free Avgas due to a direct departure from the UK. Forms for the tax exemption are available there and can be completed on the spot.

IFR and VFR operations are supported, with a range of instrument approaches available; PPR is required for instrument training blocks, and approach slots may be limited due to training activity.

Fuel service is efficient, with a fuel truck coming directly to the aircraft and tax-free fuel available for outbound international flights; refueling can be arranged by radio after landing. The airport provides a lounge with drinks and snacks, WiFi, and a bistro or café (though opening times may vary), as well as a small shop. Short turnaround times are possible, often around 30 minutes.
