PIREPs by Gunter

Compared to other AENA airports in Spain, LERJ is quite good. No handling is required. There is a rather large FTO at the field, so ATC and ground staff are used to piston GA. Avgas is available by fuel truck and it arrived quickly after our arrival. Fees are as usual: around 20€ landing and 15€ parking per day below two tons. PPR is not strictly mandatory but you may want to shoot an email. Check AIP and NOTAMs for opening hours. Currently VFR operations are possible all day long but IFR operations are not possible during a long siesta break. There is a bus going to town but it runs infrequently. A taxi is about 30€. Unfortunately Logroño isn’t the most interesting city in Spain.

The runway is paved now. It’s long and in very good condition. We obtained PPR via ciervacodorniu@gmail.com without any issue. No fees. The club seems to have fuel in case you‘re desperate but we didn’t have to refuel. Usually there is someone present at the field until early afternoon but that’s not guaranteed. You can access the field even when none of the club members is there. They will show you how after landing. The field is located very close to LEMI, within the CTR. A flight plan is required for all movements from or to LEMP. All radio communication is done on LEMI tower frequency. On arrival you‘ll be with them anyway and you have to call them before you can depart. Contact to LEMI tower was good from the little apron. The air to air frequency published e.g. in SD is not used in practice.

Good and affordable AD for small GA in this corner of France. Everything can be done via AEROPS including parking PPR - very convenient! We paid 55€ for landing and three days parking with a Mooney in Oct 2025 (around 17€ was the landing, rest parking). The Avgas pump (Carte TOTAL required) is close to the threshold 31 where there is nothing else. It’s therefore a good idea to request 31 or 13 for landing. After refueling one has to taxi to the GA parking north of the main apron. From there it’s a short walk to the terminal. The code for the access gate is sent with the invoice by AEROPS. From the terminal there are buses to town and rental cars are available. Just as a fuel stop LFMU (Beziers) might be better as there are no facilities near the pump in LFMP.

Vast former military field where there is unfortunately not much happening. Runway is a bit bumpy but not a real problem. Friendly folks on the ground. We paid 20€ all in for landing and one night parking with a Mooney. A taxi to town or back is around 30€ . We had very friendly drivers both ways. The town was a bit underwhelming but we rate airfields here, after all.

Still one of the better big airports in Greece for small GA. There is an FTO based at LGIR so ATC is used to SEPs.

We paid 128€ for handling/landing/parking (two nights) in May 2025 with a Mooney. Avgas was a bit over 3€ per liter.

As at most other Greek airports Skyserv seems to be the best handler for small GA. We had requested to refuel on arrival but that was ignored, as usual. We waited quite a while till the fueler arrived. Otherwise service was good and friendly.

Bucket list item for many pilots. Weather can be poor with low ceilings, year round. Wind is the biggest problem though, depending on direction. There is a rather complex wind shear reporting and assessment system. Pilots have to confirm in writing that they have read a document describing this before flying to EKVG. AIP has the details.

Fees OK. We paid around 110€ for handling, landing and one night parking in August 2025.

Hotel in easy walking distance but it was booked out when we visited. Found accommodation in the village down by the sea, half an hour on foot.

Very friendly place with modest fees. The first 200m of 22 is privately owned and actually only usable by permission, hence the somewhat strange note in the VFR approach plate. However, in practice the whole very good runway can be used. Check their web page for current fuel prices.

Handling mandatory - so we had quotes sent for a Mooney M20T and 4 days of parking from the two handling companies Skyservices and Delta Aero Taxi. Both responded to email immediately, but what a difference! Around €100 at Skyservices versus over €500 at Delta. We finally paid €111 at Skyservices for 5 days and received great service. Fast and reliable; he even found our pitot cover that had been blown away by the wind! We did not need AVGAS, so no info here.
