Civil Airfield Pavullo (LIDP)

Pavullo (LIDP) offers a well-maintained, modern airfield with a 1200-meter asphalt runway and high-standard facilities. Avgas is available, but payment must be made by credit card or cash as special fuel cards are not accepted. The airfield features a good on-field restaurant and rooms are available for overnight stays.

The approach to runway 02 is notable for its late runway visibility and requires a 30-degree offset final due to terrain, with the runway itself rising at the end. Both runways 02 and 20 have upsloping terrain, so careful weight and balance and takeoff performance checks are advised. The circuit is west of the field, routing around a ridge; the preferred runway is 02. Radio communication is relaxed but precise.

Landing fees up to 2 tons MTOW are about €20, with parking at €25 per night. Example: landing fee about €20. Pavullo town is approximately 2 km from the airfield, accessible on foot.

The environment is scenic but the town itself offers limited attractions and some restaurants may be closed outside peak times. Glider activity and occasional rescue helicopter training occur. Procedures vary; see AIP/NOTAM.
