What other pilots say about LIPD
Day-to-day operations at the field are handled by the local club, Aeroclub Friulano. You should contact them in advance of any planned flight, even though that’s not explicitly stated in the AIP. You’ll get a prompt, friendly reply and some additional info on the approach, etc. However, the quoted charges are completely out of proportion for a club-operated grass field. The landing fees are still acceptable, but the parking fees are downright crazy. Note that neither goes to the club; both go to the Italian ENAC, which formally operates the field. Unfortunately, that doesn’t change anything. On top of that, the club charges €25 for “handling.” Bottom line: a landing plus 24h parking for a two-ton aircraft at this grass field comes to €100. With passengers it would be even more. So in the end we didn’t fly there. Avgas and Mogas are not sold to external customers. A pity, because Udine is lovely and the field is fairly close to the city.
Operations are managed by Aeroclub Friulano, which requires advance contact before flights, even though this is not stated in the AIP. The airfield is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and there is a daily lunch break from 12:00 to 15:00 local time when operations are paused. Radio may not always be staffed; pilots use blind calls when necessary. The grass runway is 730 meters long and obstacle-free but may be uneven in places.
Landing and parking fees have increased significantly. Example: landing and 24 hours parking with handling totals about €100. The club charges €25 for handling, and fees are collected by ENAC. No Avgas or Mogas is sold to visitors. Parking is available directly in front of the Aeroclub building.
A café with drinks is available inside the Aeroclub, and a snack bar is located outside. Udine city center is about 4 km away; taxi fare is around €10. Skydiving activity occurs at the airfield. Procedures vary; see AIP/NOTAM.
