What other pilots say about EDAW
Airfield in the middle of nowhere in Saxony with no significant transport links. However, there are helpful locals on the field who would surely try to help with any problems. Long and mostly well-maintained runway; lots of parachute jumping operations on weekends. Around the airfield there are opportunities for swimming and hiking. Flying without a flight information officer is in effect at the field; check www.edaw.de beforehand.
EDAW features a 1200 m long, well-maintained grass runway and taxiways. The airfield is primarily used for gliding and parachuting, with occasional powered aircraft movements. Operations are busiest on weekends, and the field is typically open then; PPR is possible outside standard times. Circuit procedures may require explicit requests and clearances for engine start, runway crossing, and other movements.
Technical support and assistance are available, with reports of helpful staff providing tools and support during unscheduled stops or repairs. There is no official fuel service, but limited fuel may sometimes be sourced informally. No on-field restaurant exists; coffee can be found in club facilities. A clean bathing lake is adjacent to the airfield.
Ground access is limited, with the site described as remote. Example: taxi to Bitterfeld about €30, to Leipzig about €40. No regular public transport or car hire options are mentioned.
The airfield is described as friendly and supportive by most, though one report notes a less welcoming radio exchange. Procedures vary; see AIP/NOTAM.
