Pilot Comments by Timo

PPR obtained very quickly. Request for a hangar spot (one week in winter) was somehow overlooked. Study the IFR approach carefully; the descent is steep. From the grass parking to the terminal it’s a fairly long walk, especially with skis and baggage.

Great airfield. We rented survival suits there from Northfield Aviation for our North Atlantic crossing. Very friendly and helpful staff. ATC hours of operation are published via NOTAM. Due to staffing shortages, they take intermittent breaks throughout the day.

The aerodrome for Mallorca.
Review the airspace carefully. The two aerodromes are very close to each other.
Do not forget to close the flight plan with Mallorca Ops.
Very friendly staff on site.
Getting a taxi from the aerodrome can be difficult depending on the season and time of day.
A rental car can be delivered to the aerodrome. boschrentacar.com
Fuel prices are steep.

Overall a good aerodrome. Efficient handling. Rental cars 200 m from the terminal. The only challenge is PPR. The request apparently isn’t answered until about 3 weeks before the planned flight. No one tells you that—you just don’t get a reply to the email. Calling isn’t possible; there’s no phone number. If you want to book a hotel and rental car, that short notice is very inconvenient. I’ve also not received PPR before (no space on the apron). Therefore only 3 stars.

Friendly and hassle-free. Landing fee and 3 nights of parking for an SEP: EUR 30. Procedures are quick and straightforward. UPDATE 2026 Still everything perfect. In the meantime they require PPR due to limited parking availability; always granted promptly.

Great aerodrome that I like to use for IFR training. Uncomplicated and friendly. Be sure to check NOTAMs. Occasionally closed "due to lack of staff". McDonald's a 2-minute walk away.

Excellent IFR and VFR aerodrome.
Very friendly staff at the C-Büro.
ATC very helpful.
Customs also available for extra-Schengen.
Free coffee or mineral water for crew and Pax.
By public transport to the city of Bern via bus and train.
Landing fee PA46 (1960 kg) with 2 crew 46.- CHF

Additional notes to Chris's entry:
Good restaurant on site.
Maintenance on the field.
When parking, make sure the nose points toward the hangar.
On nice weekends, the circuit can be extremely busy and you almost have to fight your way in.

Nice aerodrome with a short runway. It was my home base for a long time. PPR—just give a quick call. The airfield is family-run and you can tell: friendly and professional. Observe the operating hours (lunch break). Landings permitted, but no departures. The on-field restaurant is closed over the winter. Public transport access requires about a 10-minute walk.

Great airfield. PPR received by email within 4 h. People at the field very friendly. No landing fees. Small bar at the field with drinks. Beautiful location. Runway in good condition, with somewhat tall grass. The grass/asphalt/grass transition is very good and can be used for the takeoff roll.

Perfect airfield for visiting Porto. AVGAS at 3.33 EUR per litre is on the pricey side. By contrast, landing and parking for 3 nights for a PA46 at just under 30 EUR are very good value.

After all the forms were submitted, we received our PPR. On site everything was straightforward and everyone was very friendly. 4 nights parking and landing fee: 140 euros. Holiday Car (Playa Des Ingles) delivers the rental car to the airport.

Tip: Europcar has a key drop box. You can leave the rental car at the GA Terminal and don't have to go the long way back to the Main Terminal.

Basically a straightforward aerodrome. Unfortunately only 4 GA parking positions, which cannot be reserved. So it’s essentially first come, first served. I tried for weeks to obtain an IFR slot. It has to be done via GCR Request. After at least 20 attempts with various corrections/adjustments, I gave up and flew in VFR. Outbound I still went IFR, no issues. I’m convinced this whole slot situation is meant to steer pilots toward handling agents. Pricing: for a PA46 for 3 nights / 2 crew and 2 pax: 52 EUR; AVGAS at 2.82 EUR per liter. Very fair. According to Operations, handling will be mandatory from August 2024. 3 stars because of the slot issue.

Great experience on a great island. If the winds aren’t too strong, the approach is straightforward. Handling is mandatory, but with prior coordination it’s 200 Euro for 4 nights (2 Crew / 2 Pax), which is acceptable. Landing fee and parking 140 Euro (PA46-310). It does cost, but still within reason.

Great aerodrome for visiting London.
No PPR required, no handling needed. Everyone very friendly and helpful. Fuel and the ops office are efficient.
Landing fee: 60 pounds (SEP; MTOW 1497 kg)
Customs fee: 14 pounds
Parking: 17 pounds per day

From the aerodrome to central London by Uber/taxi is about 50–60 minutes for about 40 pounds. We also tried the taxi + public transport option; not worth it in terms of cost or time.

On Sunday, IFR inbound from the UK. SEP; MTOW 1497 kg. No customs notification required. Everything very efficient and customer-friendly. The marshaller called the fuel truck, which was on site within minutes. Very quick fuel stop. Happy to return.
Fuel: 2.95 Euro plus VAT per liter
Landing fee: 27 Euro plus VAT

Great aerodrome. Very well located. All very friendly and expeditious. Runways in good condition. Invoice sent by email. 10 minutes on foot to the RER. Total about 1 h to the Eifel Turm.

Overall, everything OK. Parking on grass and asphalt. For three nights with an SEP, 90 EUR is rather on the expensive side.

Great airfield for visiting Disney. 20 minutes by taxi to the park. Landing fee by email. Refuelling: pay by card or cash. Very friendly and hassle-free. Tower controller very helpful. IFR clearance pickup on departure was very straightforward.

Used as a fuel stop. Quick and efficient. Highly recommended.

Technical stop due to a rain shower. No one on site. Runway in excellent condition.

Great airfield for Customs and fuel. Very efficient and friendly. Highly recommended.

We were there on July 10, 2021. AC11 for landing, 2 Crew + 2 Pax, 3 nights, total 100 Euro. Everything very friendly and efficient. No one was interested in COVID documents.

I can second the previous comments. I was there on 10 July 2021, also because Pula wouldn’t accept us. Very friendly aerodrome. Hangar €25 per night; otherwise free of charge. We had a minor technical issue and were helped with exceptional courtesy. Perfect!
