Busy airport in the bay area.

San Carlos Flight Center has nice and welcoming people for tours around the bay, across Bravo airspace of KSFO and more.

Good place for training and airtours. https://williamsburgflightcenter.com/ Williamsburg Flight Center are nice and welcoming people.

Uncomplicated VFR airfield. The field sits on a plateau and from the circuit it can only be identified rather late. The approach is therefore not entirely straightforward, but with some preparation it is easily manageable. It can get a bit bumpy in wind.

There are hard-surface parking bays for visiting aircraft. A good Greek restaurant is on the field and is always worth a visit.

The airfield has a grass runway with a few trees around it. Plan a correspondingly steep approach, and on takeoff make sure to establish a brisk initial climb. Given the runway length, this is seldom an issue.

PPR via V-Tower is required for visiting aircraft. First landing is free of charge. Unattended operations are standard at the field; even in 2025 there was nobody on site on weekdays and you could still land and depart.

Great, straightforward commercial airport, especially for VFR and IFR training.

The VFR approach from the east is a bit challenging, especially at night. Due to the terrain (Nordschwarzwald), you have to remain high for quite a while and then make a steep descent to 2500 ft. You also only establish a stable radio connection fairly late. A transit through the overlying Class D (Delta) is sometimes possible, which eases the approach a bit.

On the ground, a quick turnaround is possible. A short stop on the De-Icing Pad for the (de)briefing is possible.

Landing fees payable via AeroPS.

Nice little French aerodrome. VFR only. On approach you need to pay some attention to airspace and Restricted Areas (R), but Straßbourg Approach will reliably route you through. The aerodrome frequency is de facto in French, even though English is permitted. The architecture of the cabins on the field is noteworthy. Many pilots at the field, especially older ones, still speak a few words of German due to the proximity to the border.

Ideal for a first taste of flying into France.

Restaurants nearby, though opening hours can be odd. Also odd: at the restaurant you must order food; just having a cola is not allowed. A cold drink is, if need be, also available in the lobby of Hôtel Champ'Alsace, directly opposite the field.

Landing fee via AeroPS, 6,50 € for a Bristell B23.

Great training airfield, especially for IFR. Thanks to Alps Radar, genuine missed approaches are possible, and the controllers really try to make anything feasible work.

Lately the field has been picking up again, with more BizJet and airliner traffic. On the ILS it can occasionally (rarely) get a bit tight, though even the smallest motor glider still gets slotted in.

And having to wait 30 seconds because the Zeppelin is still drifting/rolling/flying across the runway is perfectly manageable.

By train or bus you’re quickly at the lake. High leisure value. Dornier-Museum within walking distance, Zeppelin-Museum in the center of FN.

Friendly tower and team.
Electricity on apron (lifting from ground) standard sockets.
Landing more expensive after Sat 13.00 local and Sun/Hol.
Fuel self service, pay by CC in tower.
App2Drive usually available outside. Else taxi/UBER/walk to bus stop.
Restaurant very often closed for private events on weekends, call before if you need lunch/dinner onsite. Vending machine (snacks) on building.
Beware of the low ceiling of 1500ft of the circuit due to EDDL approach.

Very good airport – I was honestly surprised, as I somehow remembered some rather negative comments. My experience was completely different.

I contacted handling in advance and explained what I needed. On arrival there was some activity, including airline traffic, but the handling agent still personally guided me to the fuel station, assisted with refuelling, helped with parking the aircraft on the Central Apron and arranged a taxi. The distances between apron and terminal were very short and everything was easy to manage.

Very friendly, helpful and uncomplicated throughout. I can definitely recommend Ostrava.

AVGAS was about €2.70/litre. Landing, handling and overnight parking together were €73, which I found more than fair.

Very nice airfield and in excellent condition, as mentioned in previous reviews. The airfield was unattended, so I made blind calls on the radio as usual.

Contact beforehand was a little difficult. Nobody spoke English by phone. I finally used the contact form on the website and wrote in Polish using Google Translate. That worked and I received the information I needed.

After landing, a gentleman came to help me. He also did not speak English, but communication worked well. He showed me everything for refuelling and then took me to the office/card reader. Payment by Visa card was possible without any problem.

Overall a very good experience. Friendly, uncomplicated once on site, and I would definitely use Kaniów again.

Contacted the operator by email two days in advance and received a quick reply. As mentioned in other reviews, there is quite a lot of flight school traffic.
AVGAS available (€3.20/l excl. VAT). The fuel pump was inoperative on the first day, but had been repaired by the following day.

Everyone at the airfield was kind and friendly. Runway and taxiways were in good condition. Maintenance available at the airfield.

Landing fee: €14/t. PPR departure outside published operating hours: +€40/t. Paid €108 in total for a C172, including two days of parking.

Aug 2026. LSZK-Speck. Small, well-organized airfield. Tight airspace; study approach and departure carefully in advance. Grass runway reinforced with matting. Close to Zürich. Several straightforward public transport connections to Zürich for CHF 13,60. 10–15 minutes on foot to the stops. Uber to Zürich 40 min and approx. 55 CHF. Landing fee noise class D up to 1000 kg 20,99 CHF; overnight parking 11,89 CHF; customs clearance (non-homebased) 32,40 CHF per person; MOGAS 2,15 CHF. Restaurant on the field, closed Mondays. Uncomplicated procedures, friendly people, pretty good location for a trip to Züri!

Friendly club operated airfield. 15 € landing fee for SEP. Greek airport restaurant offers decent quality and service.
Surface is really even and well maintained. The markings are in excellent condition. We had the chance to park our plane in the hangar for 2 weeks. Access and every interaction was friendly and welcoming. Small disadvantage is that no unattended operation is possible.
Fuel AVGAS, Mogas and Jet fuel.

Very friendy controller and ground staff. Almost no waiting times, 5 minutes from airport entry to the plane. Moderate fees, 44€ for landing, approach and 5hrs parking for 820 MTOM and 3 pax.
Access to the city via train takes 15 min and departs every 30mins.

Very friendly airport. 10€ landing fee for 1 t MTOM Tight traffic pattern within the valley. Smooth runway.

Uncontrolled airfield with radio aircraft to aircraft in French only. Self service fuel is available payable by either Cart Total or CC. We paid 2.89€/l for 100LL in August 2026. Landing fee has to be paid via an online process by scanning a QR code. We paid 36.70€ for landing and one night parking with a Mooney.
The restaurant at the field is nice for lunch overlooking ramp. We were satisfied with the food. If you want to spend a night right in the Beaujolais vineyards you can stay at Le Clos des Anges, which is in easy walking distance.

The airfield is beautifully located in the mountains. It’s in a valley and base leg 20 takes you relatively close to terrain but otherwise it’s easy. However be prepared for quite some traffic of all sorts. There is 100LL, UL91 and Jet A available but we didn’t refuel. We paid 18.60€ for landing and one night parking with our Mooney.
You can reach Tallard on foot, on a nice farm road for most of the way. Hôtel Le Cap is really close to the field and we found it quite acceptable. However, if you stay there you’ll probably have to eat at the attached restaurant which isn’t bad but it doesn’t offer the dining experience one might expect in France.

Officially PPR but on weekends you can usually just call on the radio. You might be able to arrange PPR on weekdays but for an overnight stay other ADs in the area are better suited. We paid 6€ landing fee for an Aeronca Champ (590kg). Town center is about 15 minutes on foot, so this is an ideal destination on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

Burg Feuerstein ( Feuerstein Radio) is place to be for pilots and any point of view literally! Everything is perfect. The spirit of many genratede generations of glider pilots will impact you. The view over the lands arround this platform is wonderful. Many tiny things more making the picture.

Definitely the top airfield in the North! On approach, be mindful of the (relatively) new ED-R and D areas, and absolutely carry a life jacket, as you will generally no longer be within gliding distance of land when inbound EDXH.

On nice days, especially weekends, it can get tight—particularly just before the lunch break, when many aircraft still want to get in. Exercise heightened situational awareness.

EDXH as an aerodrome is very relaxed. Land, head up to the tower, and simply pay the 13EUR for a C-172 at the restaurant. The restaurant has really good coffee, and it’s 3min to Nordstrand or 15min to Südstrand. There’s even a shower in the adjacent container, where you can get 5min (warm) for 2EUR. That’s great if you took a quick dip in the sea in your underwear before departure ;-)

In winter, Helgoland has its own charm, as you can see countless seals (several hundred) on Düne.

Very important—always leave enough in the tanks for the return flight and reserve. The aerodrome has only AVGAS (no MOGAS or Jet A-1), and availability varies greatly.

Aircraft: SR22
Pax: 2
Landing fee: € 18,--
Excellent airfield for VFR arrivals; it is a drone field. Former military airfield with an operational runway of approx. 1.200 m. Tower ATC is helpful. As there was no traffic in the circuit, we were cleared for a straight-in to Runway 24. Parked overnight in a modern hangar for approx. € 45,--. AVGAS available at a very reasonable price of approx. € 2,67 per liter. On-site restaurant; you can settle all charges there. Airfield is reachable only by taxi. No public transport options.

It's just a great place. I really enjoy coming here to practice, do approaches, and so on. They also have a very reasonable rate for that. Sometimes there are quite a few planes here at the same time for practice.
The tower always asks you which programme you'd like to fly.
Everyone is very friendly.

If you’re flying to Istanbul, you want LTBA. Right next to the bridge, right on the water—a great approach. There are now several resources for entry into Turkey; otherwise I’m happy to help. It’s important to get the right handler on board at a sensible price. We use Havas Handling for that. Be sure to book the corresponding AOPA rate. Turkish AOPA will also assist if you get stuck.

When looking at airport charges, be aware there is a Terminal Fee for passing through (!) the GA terminal. This comes from the airport, not the handling agent. It triples for international arrivals/departures but is applied only to the passengers as per the GENDEC. So there is potential to save. AOPA has been trying for some time to get this fee removed for GA, but it seems difficult.

If you’re landing with passengers, request Apron V for parking. Only there is boarding (!) of PAX permitted. If you park elsewhere, you will have to reposition your aircraft. Approach type VFR or IFR doesn’t matter. Processing is quick; being at the airport 30 minutes before EOBT is easily sufficient. The handling does a good job.

If you don’t absolutely need to see the Bosporus from the air, fly to LTBU and take a taxi to Istanbul. The field is considerably cheaper but just as professional. They also have AVGAS there.

LTBA has no AVGAS. Handling via Gözen is not mandatory, even if AI suggests otherwise.

Yesterday landed in Zürich. The approach is quite challenging. We had an A380 behind us, meaning we flew the ILS initially at 180, then at 160 kts. Only in the last 4 miles could we focus on our approach speed. Taxiing to GA was easier than expected, but there were constant handoffs between Apron and Tower on the ground because you have to cross an active runway. It’s a bit stressful if you’re not used to it. Slot is mandatory. Strong recommendation for handling: mfgz (handling@mfgz.ch). Very professional and exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Total price 411,80 Fr. They also arrange fueling. Both Jet A1 and AVGAS available. Paid with BP Sterling Card.
