Pilot Comments for LIQW
Philipp
This military field with limited civilian use can, with some paperwork, indeed be used to a certain extent. Ideal for those heading to the La Spezia/Lerici area or to Carrara, Massa, Forte dei Marmi who don’t like the rocky, short runway at Massa LILQ (especially since the fees there have become quite high).
Everything is handled through the small local Aeroclub Lunense. You must submit all aircraft documents as PDFs at least one week in advance and formally join the club. Email: aeroclubsarzana@tiscali.it. Membership costs €100 per calendar year. You then register each flight and pay another €15 per landing.
The biggest limitation: the aeroclub (and thus the fire service/ARFF) is generally only present on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. If you want to fly on other days, you must arrange the corresponding fire service in advance separately and pay significantly for it. It helps with the bureaucratic part if you can communicate in Italian, but the club staff apparently manage in English as well.
The aeroclub apron is northeast of the runway, separated by a gate. As a member you can also get Avgas 100LL (€3/l). The aeroclub has a Warrior and a TB9 but flies only infrequently. However, there is a huge aeroclub restaurant in a pleasant garden setting.
So: if you want to spend a few days vacationing in the area, this field is a good option and ultimately not too expensive, especially if you come several times a year. On request, the club will also help arrange a rental car.

LIQW operates as a military airfield with civil use permitted via the local Aeroclub Lunense. Use requires formal membership in the Aeroclub, with application and submission of aircraft and pilot documents at least one week in advance; communication in Italian is helpful but English is possible. Membership costs €100 per calendar year, and each landing incurs an additional €20. The club apron is separated by a gate northeast of the runway. The Aeroclub is generally open only on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday; outside these days, activating fire service is required at extra cost. 100LL avgas is available for members. The runway is about 1,250 meters long beyond the thresholds and slopes toward the sea, so runway 36 is preferred even with light tailwind.
A large Aeroclub restaurant with a garden setting offers lunch and local wine. A well-known winery is within walking distance; otherwise, taxis are needed for transport. Example: landing and parking about €200 for two days. Assistance with car hire is available. Contact: aeroclubsarzana@tiscali.it.
