International Airport Linz (LOWL)

by Joachim • 2025-08-24 19:59:55 UTC

Flew into Linz today for IR training. As always, from Radar to Tower to the GAT crew, everyone was very friendly and helpful. Multiple training approaches possible without prior notification. Since mo...

International Airport Salzburg (LOWS)

by Joachim • 2025-08-24 19:56:12 UTC

Did IR training in Salzburg today. Multiple training approaches must be coordinated with ATC in advance; details in the AIP. For short stops you can park in front of the tower, so no Follow-Me shuttle...

Civil Airfield Winzeln Schramberg (EDTW)

by Thomas • 2025-08-24 19:54:24 UTC

The airfield sits idyllically on a plateau in the Black Forest and offers a friendly, family atmosphere with active club operations (LSV Schwarzwald e. V.). Visiting pilots are very welcome; weekday v...

Airport Eggenfelden (EDME)

by Joachim • 2025-08-24 19:48:24 UTC

Was at EDME twice last week for training (PPL + IR). Everything nice and uncomplicated. Large apron with marked parking positions. Surprisingly much movement guidance by AFISO; sometimes feels a bit “...

Civil Airfield Soemmerda Dermsdorf (EDBS)

by hawaiian air • 2025-08-24 15:11:53 UTC

Long grass runway, easy approach. Aerodrome management also handles the restaurant, so they came across somewhat stressed and brusque, and the passive role on the radio, which only provides general in...

Civil Airfield Sierksdorf/Hof Altona (EDXT)

by hawaiian air • 2025-08-24 15:05:42 UTC

We were there toward the end of the 2024 season, so no bicycles were available at the field. On foot you can reach the sea quickly, with a wide selection of cafés and restaurants from there. You shoul...

John

Airport Cambridge (EGSC)

by John • 2025-08-24 12:29:19 UTC

I found a couple of errors: "PPR is required and can be arranged by phone at +33 1223 293737. Standard opening hours are typically 1000–1800 local" The contact phone number for PPR is +44 1223 373...

Felix

Civil Airfield Frankfurt Egelsbach (EDFE)

by Felix • 2025-08-24 10:47:39 UTC

The airfield lies within a TMZ/ATC/RMZ with AFIS, radar support, and arrival/departure routes. It borders Class D and is directly beneath Frankfurt Class C, so mind altitude and position. A long aspha...

Brice

Airport Le Havre Octeville (LFOH)

by Brice • 2025-08-24 09:22:47 UTC

My home base. Very friendly, casual airport near London. A brand new restaurant opened recently (2025) with burger and such fare. Probably worth a briefing calling atc the first time you visit with...

Brice

Airport Pontoise Cormeilles En Vexin (LFPT)

by Brice • 2025-08-24 05:58:53 UTC

The airport had quite a bit of renovation work and lots of notam, but as of now (august 2025 - phase 4 activated) it seems all completed and no more restrictions. The runways looked great, the GA park...

Toronto City Centre Airport (CYTZ) is located on an island off the harbourfront, with a traffic pattern offering views of downtown Toronto. Sightseeing flights to Niagara Falls are about 1,5 hours (re...

Civil Airfield Reinsdorf (EDOD)

by hawaiian air • 2025-08-23 21:19:51 UTC

Nice long grass strip in the middle of nowhere, but with a solid restaurant and dedicated airfield owners. Watch for glider traffic to the north. Always worth a visit!

hawaiian air

Civil Airfield Halle Oppin (EDAQ)

by hawaiian air • 2025-08-23 21:16:45 UTC

The GA airfield in the Halle/Leipzig region. East German charm with a restaurant, flight schools, and maintenance on site. Easy approach, friendly people, and fair prices. Ground transport connections...

Adrian

Civil Airfield Aachen Merzbrueck (EDKA)

by Adrian • 2025-08-23 20:21:37 UTC

On weekends, when glider winch launch operations are in progress (flashing beacon), no takeoffs or landings. The Albatros restaurant with a terrace under trees is quite popular; closed on Mondays. Wes...

Joachim

Airport Schwaebisch Hall (EDTY)

by Joachim • 2025-08-23 19:56:49 UTC

Nice airfield with ILS and RNP. I’m there from time to time for IR training. Everything is very friendly and straightforward. Payment via AeroPS. Large apron with plenty of parking. IFR releases on de...

Joachim

Civil Airfield Biberach A.D.Riss (EDMB)

by Joachim • 2025-08-23 19:53:26 UTC

Nice airfield with very inexpensive fuel (Avgas end of June 2.52). Parking only on grass. Maintenance facility on site. The café has a self-service mode with an honesty box outside peak times. Landing...

Joachim

Civil Airfield Bad Woerishofen Nord (EDNH)

by Joachim • 2025-08-23 19:49:37 UTC

Beautiful, relaxed grass strip. The Aero Café is a highlight. Lovingly decorated terrace, small but excellent menu, friendly staff. Bad Wörishofen is worth a visit for the café alone. Anyone who has G...

Joachim

Civil Airfield Tannheim (EDMT)

by Joachim • 2025-08-23 19:46:16 UTC

Went to Tannheim on a training flight, midweek. Everything relaxed as usual. Matthias was on the radio for the essentials, but in practice it was basically flying without AFIS. Paid via AeroPS. Restau...

Joachim

Civil Airfield Aachen Merzbrueck (EDKA)

by Joachim • 2025-08-23 19:43:51 UTC

Was in Aachen on business. Everything straightforward. Parking 8 euros per night. Avgas at airport-level pricing (2,92). App2Drive available. No restaurant on the field.

Joachim

Airport Friedrichshafen (EDNY)

by Joachim • 2025-08-23 19:41:10 UTC

Nice airport, unfortunately with too little scheduled traffic. Self-serve fuel (AirBP) with a restroom on Apron 3. Follow-me shuttle to the terminal to get to the landside. From there to the LSC resta...

Joachim

Civil Airfield Leverkusen (EDKL)

by Joachim • 2025-08-23 19:34:56 UTC

Flew into Köln Leverkusen for a business appointment. One of the first airfields to have consistently implemented flying without an operations manager. Request PPR via AeroPS, read the briefing regard...

Joachim

Civil Airfield Landshut (EDML)

by Joachim • 2025-08-23 19:30:58 UTC

Large, beautiful airfield. Fuel station with MOGAS, JET, and AVGAS. Most of the tower controllers are friendly and have by now also dropped the previously familiar “tower-controller traffic directing....

Joachim

Civil Airfield Leutkirch Unterzeil (EDNL)

by Joachim • 2025-08-23 19:21:39 UTC

Was at Leutkirch as FI on a training flight. Everything easy, relaxed, and friendly. Be aware of parachute operations and the jump aircraft. Parking and taxiing on grass. For Jetprop and jet, there is...

Achim

Civil Airfield Heubach (EDTH)

by Achim • 2025-08-23 18:42:16 UTC

Public airfield with fixed opening times, Jet, AVGAS, Mogas, a nice Italian restaurant and border police controls upon request. Can get bumpy with southerly winds (Foehn). Most of the time, it has VMC...

Seb

Airport Schoenhagen (EDAZ)

by Seb • 2025-08-23 16:24:33 UTC

My home base—what can I say—this is how a general aviation airfield should be. The only minor criticism is the hours of operation, which of course could be earlier and later. But of course there are p...
