Pilot Comments for EDKV
Johannes
Last update 2021-08-02: Unter der Woche zum Mittagessen gelandet. 999kg für unter 10€ per aerops. Alles ganz entspannt, wir waren in den knapp 2h der einzige Motorverkehr. Endanflug 23 wegen lärmempfindlichen Dorfes etwas kürzer als Standard, aber kein Problem. Notlandefelder beim Abflug auf der 23 eher wenige wegen des Eifelwaldes.
Reger Segelflugbetrieb auf der nördlichen Graspiste => auf orangene Rundumleuchten achten!
Das Restaurant ist östlich der Schwelle der 23 - vom Tower aus ca. 680m zu Fuß => am besten fragen, ob man vor Halle 4 (mit dem Rolltor) und nicht auf dem Vorfeld bei Tower & Tanke parken kann.
Das Essen ist klasse - der italienische Koch zaubert leckere Gerichte. Der Verpächter des Restaurants ist wohl auch Jäger + Metzger und beliefert das Restaurat mit frischen Zutaten. Terrasse mit Blick auf die Bahn und gläsernem Windschutz wie an der See. Preise für die Qualität mehr als fair (Hauptgericht 10 bis 15€). Klare Empfehlung!
Kartbahn direkt neben dem Flugplatz mangels Zeit nicht getestet, steht aber als Familientaugliches Ziel auf der Liste.

Very nice and laid back airfield, restaurant and hotel permanently closed, perfect for some traffic pattern training. Sometimes tricky wind conditions in short final 23 with southerly winds.

EDKV is a quiet, rural airfield with a friendly and professional flight service. Approaches and departures are generally uncomplicated, though departures over runway 05 require an early turn before Schmidtheim, and the final for runway 23 is shortened due to a noise-sensitive village. When departing on 23, suitable forced landing fields are limited because of surrounding forest. There is significant glider and skydiving activity, especially on the northern grass strip; orange rotating beacons indicate active operations. On busy days, maintain vigilance for mixed traffic and follow circuit instructions carefully. A high-tension power line crosses near the field—be alert during approach and departure.
The paved runway is 1070 meters long with full lighting and PAPI. The airfield is well maintained, with clear circuit patterns and sufficient length for general aviation needs. Parking is available; hangar space can be arranged on request.
A well-regarded restaurant sits at the eastern end of the field, about 680 meters from the tower on foot; parking closer to the restaurant may be possible if arranged with the tower. The restaurant offers quality meals with fresh ingredients and a terrace overlooking the runway. On occasion, opening hours may vary or service may be limited, but food quality receives consistently positive remarks.
Landegebühren are considered low for current standards. Example: landing fee about €10.
Fuel (including Avgas) is available on site. The area offers opportunities for walking and hiking; a kart track is adjacent to the airfield and accessible by foot.
Public transport is reachable after a short walk to a nearby train station served by regional trains between Köln and Trier at two-hour intervals.
EDKV provides a relaxed atmosphere suitable for non-commercial general aviation pilots seeking an uncomplicated stopover or destination in scenic surroundings. Procedures vary; see AIP/NOTAM.
