Airport feel and procedures for a fraction of the price: both VFR and IFR (ILS and RNP), very well-maintained airfield, fuel available, huge apron/parking areas, and very friendly tower/GA staff. The neighboring airfield/club Weckrieden with a restaurant can be reached via a gate operated by the tower—with parking available.

Nice airfield with ILS and RNP. I’m there from time to time for IR training. Everything is very friendly and straightforward. Payment via AeroPS. Large apron with plenty of parking. IFR releases on departure can be slightly delayed when the Stuttgart flight schools are practicing approaches.

Very nice and affordable, feeling of a "big" airport but with a fraction of the costs. 100LL and Jet A1 available, just make sure to have your versts with you

EDTY offers both VFR and IFR operations with a professional, friendly atmosphere and efficient service. The airfield is well-equipped, featuring ILS and RNAV approaches, a long asphalt runway, and modern infrastructure. No PPR is required for arrivals or IFR training. High-visibility vests are mandatory on the apron. The circuit pattern is relatively tight and flown at about 1200 ft AGL; approach to runway 10 can be demanding due to the compact circuit.

Landing fees for non-commercial GA aircraft under 2 t MTOW vary: examples include about €20 for a typical single-engine landing, about €40–60 for IFR landings or those including noise surcharges, and up to €100 in some cases with additional services or international arrivals. A noise certificate can reduce fees. Additional DFS approach charges may apply for IFR flights.

There is no on-field restaurant or bistro currently; a small pilot lounge is available. Several reports mention the former restaurant at the adjacent grass field (EDTX), but its operation status varies. Schwäbisch Hall city offers numerous dining options and is considered worth visiting. The city center is accessible by taxi (about €10–€15, 7–15 minutes), App2Drive carsharing vehicles near the terminal, or on foot (25–45 minutes). Shuttle service to town has been available for around €10.

100LL and Jet A1 are available via self-service pump; payment is made at the counter. Credit card acceptance at fuel pumps may be limited; cash payment may be required in some cases. Parking is permitted only in designated zones.

The staff consistently receive high praise for professionalism and helpfulness. The airfield handles mixed VFR/IFR traffic well, though occasional comments note busy circuits or inconsistent traffic management during peak times. Procedures vary; see AIP/NOTAM for operational details.

No customs/immigration procedures are described in current reports for intra-Schengen flights; international arrivals from Switzerland have incurred higher fees in some cases. Overall, EDTY is well-suited to non-commercial general aviation pilots seeking efficient operations and access to an attractive town, though landing fees are higher than many comparable airfields.
