PIREPs by Sebastian

Weißenhorn Airfield (EDNW) is a relaxed and welcoming place. On summer weekends, the airfield is bustling with glider and winch operations. Mogas and Avgas are available, though the fuel station is c...

Plan ahead and watch for PPR parking NOTAMs. Parking confirmation arrived by email within 10 minutes. After a friendly reception there was initially no fuel, as the fuel truck driver was on his well-e...

I can only agree with the previous reports—the facilities on the island are at a 5-star level, but the atmosphere is not jet-set glitz; it’s characterized by a friendly, very laid-back vibe. We spent...

PPR straightforward and friendly by phone. After vacating the runway, parking via Follow-Me, and shortly afterward Avgas from the truck for €3.22 per litre. After that you’re left on the apron and mus...

Arrival IFR from EDDR. After the handover to London Radar over the English Channel, direct Dover and then direct to Southend—kept within CAS at FL80 throughout. After shutdown on the apron, remember a...
