Easy-to-find field with a straightforward approach and a grass runway with mats. On departure to the east, limited forced-landing options; on departure to the west, watch for high-voltage power lines—shouldn’t be a factor though. Friendly on the radio and uncomplicated handling, even though you can’t pay on site via Aerops or by card. Quick into the city center; Best Western hotel is a 10-minute walk.

EDBI is a well-maintained grass airfield with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The runway is consistently described as being in good condition, with clear markings and easy approaches. The airfield offers Mogas for UL aircraft and has simple, clean on-site accommodation. A hotel is located about 300 meters from the field, sometimes available at a discount when booked via the airfield staff. There is no permanent restaurant at the field, but coffee is often available, and breakfast can be arranged if ordered in advance; a bakery with traditional meals is about 15 minutes away on foot.

Landing fees are low. Example: landing fee about €5; overnight parking about €5. Taxi to the city costs about €20. The city center is a short distance away, accessible by taxi or bus, with travel times reported as 5–7 minutes by taxi or train.

A start ban for powered aircraft applies daily from 13:00 to 15:00 local time, likely for noise reasons. On approach to runway 24, avoid flying too low over the city. Procedures may vary; see AIP/NOTAM.

The airfield is considered suitable for general aviation pilots seeking a hospitable stop close to Zwickau’s attractions.
