PIREPs by Christoph

We visited Zagreb in an SR22.
Handling was straightforward, fueling as well.
Fees:
Handling €100
Takeoff/landing €30
Parking €2 (we were only on the ground for a few hours)
Crew inbound €50
Crew outbound €50
per pax inbound €50
per pax outbound €50

Without pax that made €240 + 25% VAT.

My companion’s crew qualification was not checked.

Pilot lounge exemplary, with a wide selection of snacks and beverages.

Rental cars are only available in the main terminal, which is 3 km away. Uber is much easier unless you need the car for several days.

Last Saturday we flew to Freiburg to drop off a package at the tower. We landed, handed over the package, and went to pay the landing fee: €46 for a Bonanza 36TC (1746 kg)!! I find that steep!! Closing the flight plan sets you back another €2. A nice field overall, but I think the prices are excessive.

Airpark in Sweden; we visited it with a larger group.
Great lake in the vicinity!
Fuel available for cash (21 SEK per liter).

Ajaccio works very well for GA. I was there twice in one week. The staff member responsible for GA is very friendly but speaks little English. He takes you to the terminal in his bus.

For departure, you have to report beneath the tower (at the vehicle access gate to the apron) and, after a quick security screening, you’ll be picked up again by bus and taken to the GA apron. Payment is made directly on the bus by credit card.

Cost: €60 for a BE36 including one overnight.
Fuel: AVGAS via BP Carnet at the self-serve pump, currently €1.89/l.
At the airport, right across from the terminal, there are several car rental companies.

We flew to LIPO on a weekday for one night. We had originally planned for LIPX, but despite multiple requests we couldn’t get PPR for overnight parking.

No PPR required at LIPO. Total charge for 5 pax, one overnight with a P46T: €97 net, all-in including handling.

Caution: if a large aircraft is being fueled, fueling can take a while. Handling then arranged fueling for the day of departure perfectly.
Parking on the apron was not possible; after dropping off the passengers we had to reposition to a remote parking stand.

Excellent airport for the southern Gardasee region!

Flew the Bonanza to Malmö for a few days. The Svedavia Weekly Season Card is available in the terminal after landing. Free landings at all participating airfields for 800 SEK, including one week of parking. Note that the number of airfields where this card is valid is decreasing, but it’s still very fair price-wise. A VW van shuttles you to the terminal and back to the aircraft. Bring your own tie-down ropes; concrete blocks are available.
A taxi into town (about 400 SEK flat rate) is cheaper than the bus (about 150 SEK) for three people. From Malmö city you’re in Copenhagen by train in 30 minutes. Malmö itself is a pleasant small town with nice restaurants and pubs.
Caution: For VFR flights to Gotland, a flight plan is required. Our attempt to air-file was unfortunately not approved when this caught us by surprise.
