Latest Pilot Comments

yesterday 1500 zulu at the field LIPU had trouble with starting the engine I got immediately help. Even as the airport closed already at 1400 zulu. In the homepage it states 1600 zulu. Very helpful people and all without charge.

Nice aerodrome with an IFR approach. Very quiet. Everything is easy and straightforward. During hours when the aerodrome is closed, a security guard opens the doors. A 10-minute walk from the terminal there is a small, simple but good restaurant right on the sea. Popular with local pilots for a $100 pizza.

Also needed a fuel stop. Large airfield, very quiet.
Refueling at the pump with a BP card is possible.
Refueling, including paying all fees, in under 30 minutes. Landing fee approx. 30 EUR.

CAUTION: The region to the north is affected by continuous, severe GPS jamming. Our 2 h IFR flight inbound from Tallinn had about 70 minutes with no GPS reception at all (not a single satellite). Be prepared.

Large airport primarily for scheduled traffic. Handling appears to be mandatory, though I couldn't find it anywhere in the published documents. We arrived without an appointment. Handling (Welcome Handling) was offered spontaneously by the Tower. Taxi transfer to and from the aircraft and security screening were very fast. Handling cost (crew of 4 in a PA46) about 30 EUR. A NOTAM had already stated that no AVGAS would be available during our stay, so we had to make an intermediate fuel stop.

We were there about 10 years ago. Large airport and already very expensive back then. I wanted to go there this summer. Handling is mandatory. The quote for 2 Crew and 2 Pax comes to over 1'000.- Euro. Pax are charged 150 per leg (out/in) each. We could possibly have registered everyone as Crew, but the 'risk' wasn't worth it to me. Following the quote I contacted AOPA Estland. They were not aware of this and have initiated talks. Whether and when that will achieve anything remains to be seen.

Affordable option for a visit to Tallinn. The shorter runway is intended for powered aircraft. We were there with a PA46; the runway is in good condition and reinforced with grids in the grass. Very friendly people at the airfield, and we were immediately given a ride into the city. Prior contact via Whatsapp was rather slow but friendly.

IFR arrival and departure worked flawless. ATC and ground staff are very professional, friendly and helpful. 100LL available at self-service pump with credit card terminal.

Prices:
Landing: 20€
Parking per day: 10€
Mandatory handing: 35€

The mandatory handing is a bit of a nuisance as it includes no mentionable service for light aircraft.

The terminal has bistro which was closed, but also offers drinks and small snacks at a self-service station.

Ground transport is close to non-existent on weekends. The bus goes three times in the morning and three times in the afternoon from Monday to Friday. Best call an UBER to go to Roskilde train station (35€, plus 9€ per person for the train ticket ) or directly to Kopenhagen (70€ when booked in advance).

Although an international airport, very GA-friendly and inexpensive.
VFR arrival and departure cleared through the CTR without issues. Held a bit in the hold due to airline traffic. The tower even apologized (no need—not their fault, but nice).
Parking at the far end by the woods—bus transfer to the helicopter terminal.
AVGAS with AIRBP Sterling card.
Price for Piper Arrow: 42€ (landing; parking free).

Important: phone number for the shuttle bus: +47 67 03 11 12

Well-maintained, firm grass runway on a small island. Overnight parking and camping directly on the fine sandy beach possible. Excellent communication with the operator. With 800 m, also well suited for larger aircraft. GEM!

Prices at Grafair 21.07.2026 Piper Arrow 1247 kg MTOW Handling: 226€ Per overnight: 79€ Handling mandatory if staying more than 2 days or if refueling is required. Otherwise, PPR (Prior Permission Required) is possible on a limited basis (limited to 2 aircraft on the field at the same time). Nice airport, and by taxi/Uber it’s only 25 minutes to the city center (ca. 20€). Handling service is excellent. “Free” drinks and ice cream. AVGAS available. BUT: the prices are simply overpriced.

On 4–5 Jul 2026 with C182, 4 POB. Uncomplicated IFR arrival and departure, excellent handling by ASL. Beautiful lounge with drinks and snacks. Fees 142,- — be sure to obtain a quote in advance.

Friendly grass field, Night-VFR landings PPR. Only Hjelmco 91/96UL fuel is available on request. Overnight accommodation from simple rooms in the clubhouse over B&B at a farm nearby to exclusive castle hotel. Bicycles are available o/r. The airfield is located near Gnesta, which has a railway connection to Stockholm. There is a seaplane station at the lake, the club offers SEP-SEA training on a Husky also for foreigners. More details on osfk.se (for instance PN form, airfield has no PPR)

Excellent infrastructure. Very quick and friendly handling. Refueling and paying the landing fee in under 30 minutes.
Landing fee 53 EUR for a PA46 with an IFR approach.
AVGAS 3.11 EUR per liter, on the expensive side. But at least it's available.

Since the previous report is 8 years old and Wyk auf Föhr is such a great destination: It is one of the most visited destinations of my wife and I. It's such an enjoyable place with friendly people. The approach is beautiful, the beach is just around the corner and it's an easy walk into town. We usually have lunch in the Sydbar of the Upstalsboom Hotel with a beach view. It's a highly recommended place for lunch. For those who stay longer, the island has a lot to offer.

Privately owned airfield, PPR. Runway quality equals asphalt. Modern hangars (40€) for overnight stay. PPR. 100LL for 3,30€/L. Taxi to city 15 min. Most notable: Lecce has a very beautiful historic center, with extraordinary flair and vibrant nightlife. Perfect stopover to spend a night or even entire day. Recommended hotel: Tivoli right in historic city centre.

Was there during the week, so there was hardly any activity at the field. Beautiful location. Departure RWY 25 has a hill in the climb-out; mind performance. Needed to refuel, and dedicated club members helped me on site and by phone. Afterwards, due to a payment error on my part, my issue was handled quickly and courteously.

Aerodrome in the middle of nowhere. Friendly aerodrome staff, straightforward approach, and an air-conditioned pilot lounge where you can get drinks and simple food such as Currywurst or similar for a small fee.

Still a well-maintained grass airfield with a long runway. Overnight on-field now possible, and scooters are available for hire on the field to explore the area. A real insider tip in the Leipzig area.

Quick refueling stop in LKKV without leaving the airport on a Sunday in July. Approach via OKG routing (IFR with DA42, max 2000kg) very easy, although the Controller let me down only to 8000ft due to an active glider area below, but still early enough to catch the ILS. Refueling ordered by the very friendly handling agent and done within minutes by truck. Jet A1 @ 12/07/2026 for 49,80 CZK = 2,02€. Handling Fee 423,50 CZK (17,50 €), Landing Fee 726 CZK (30€), all values gross (VAT). I did not register upfront, just filed the plan and flew. Very nice and easy.

Good airfield with interesting IFR approach with transition to visual final approach between the mountains. Fast service and nice little terminal with a bistro inside. Parking for smaller aircraft is on a rather good grass parking with marshaller. Use the briefing on their website to familiarize with the approach. Paid in total 68,61€ for fees+handling.

PPR required but easily to obtain via ops@sogeaal.it, which is the airport operator and handler (handling mandatory). Easy approach, mostly not too much traffic. Parking position is assigned by tower and marshaller will guide you in, place chocks and tie down the airplane. Handler will drive you to the passenger terminal where you can exit.

For departure, go to the main security check in the passenger terminal and state that you are crew for general aviation. They will then call the handler to pick you up. Easy and fast security check through fast lane, then a stop in the handler's office to pay the fees before they drive you back to the aircraft. Be aware, if you want to refuel, that commercial flights have priority and that you might need to wait long for a fuel truck to be free, especially during the peak times with 3+ airliners landing shortly after each other. Fuel is paid directly with the refueler via WFS card or Credit Card. A marshaller is required on position for pushback/taxi out and tower will not grant you engine start/push-back/taxi before the handler has given his okay.

All in all, probably the cheapest IFR option on Sardinia and a pretty smooth experience, but still not very cheap. The fees invoiced do not 100% match the fees published on their website. It seems that some items were cheaper and some items more expensive than published. I guess it depends on the person present that day which is preparing the invoice.

Fees DA40NG, Parking 67 hours (incl. 2hrs free):
- Basic Handling = 17,04€
- 2x Car-Shuttle à 6,71€ = 13,42€
- Airport Fees = Takeoff/Landing fee 19,04€, Parking fee 110,88€
- Invoice fee = 2€
--> TOTAL: 162,38€

One of the two alternatives for Split (LDSP). Overnight parking is possible, AVGAS is available, JET-A1 also. Everybody is super friendly. LDSB has IFR Approaches but works by blind transmissions during the times the tower is closed. Landing plus 3 days of parking was around € 120. for an SR22 Taxi to the ferry at Supetar is € 60 in cash if you call it yourself (+385 95 5768 044). If you let the airport call a taxi it will be more like € 80. Ferry to downtown Split is 50 minutes and it leaves almost every hour during the high season.

Stayed overnight in Ganderkeese again last August. This airfield is ideally located as a base for a great flying vacation. The first island, Wangerooge, is just about half an hour away. You can make wonderful day trips to the East Frisian Islands in your own aircraft and, in the evening, enjoy the sunset on the terrace in front of your aircraft at a very well-kept hotel in American motel style, offering good value for money and excellent hospitality. Landing and parking fees as well as 100LL were reasonably priced. Fellow pilots are very friendly and helpful, as are the tower staff. We’ll be happy to stop by again on our way to the islands.

Eggersdorf is the perfect flying idyll near Berlin. A few years ago I was there with a friend to rebuild an aircraft. Die Fliegende Kiste was our base. The host, Olaf, and his wife were very hospitable, and the facilities were entirely adequate for an airfield restaurant with lodging. He even let me borrow his scooter. The airfield also has its own Fliegerdorf, reportedly the first in Germany. Part of the well-kept runway is still asphalt before transitioning to grass. Back in the day, MiGs flew there. Operations without a Flugleiter have been possible for a very long time. An automated announcement system provides the preferred takeoff and landing direction. The landing fee is simply dropped in the mailbox. At the time, the fuel station was selling reasonably priced 100LL. There are also nice hangars with spaces still available. If I lived in Berlin, this would be my home base. The place is best imagined as a Swedish airfield. This is how flying in Germany should be. Hopefully there will soon be more airfields of this kind.

I was back in Schönhagen again last September. The previous commenters have already covered the essentials. The aerodrome is one of the best GA fields in Germany. The only drawback is the public transport access, though the shuttle handles this quite well. Fuel prices were not particularly noteworthy. I find the landing and parking fees entirely reasonable for this type of field.
