What other pilots say about LKST

2025-08-27 15:53:03 UTC

Quiet, friendly grass strip. Radio not always available / not always intelligible. Air2air works as well. Occasional parachute jumpers. Runway 13/31 is reinforced in the middle; apparently only that section is still used. Vacate midfield toward the club, or at the end of 31 along the second apron. Landing fee CZK 100 for Echo, CZK 50 for UL (or EUR 5 / 2.50). AVGAS €2.80/L. Nice restaurant in the club building. The town is nearby but rather boring... About halfway there, a small lake.

Quiet, friendly grass airfield with reinforced central section on runway 13/31, which is primarily used. Radio communication is sometimes unclear; air-to-air communication is common and generally sufficient. Occasional parachuting activity occurs. No marked taxiways; the area between runway and hangars can be uneven, and there are hills around the field causing significant lee turbulence when departing runway 13—adequate altitude and obstacle awareness are important.

Landing fees are low, with an example: landing about €5. Avgas available; payment in cash required. Hangar space and overnight accommodation in the airfield building are possible, with an example: hangar about €10 per night. A small restaurant is located in the club building, offering local cuisine and drinks.

The town is close, accessible on foot in about 10–15 minutes, with a pedestrian bridge leading directly to a recommended restaurant. Car hire is available at the field, with an example: car hire about €20 per day. The airfield environment is relaxed, with friendly staff who speak some English and German.
