Straubing Airport (EDMS)

Excellent airport, pretty easy to land. Team is friendly and forgiving, willing to explain minor beginner pilot issues instead of threatening with fines. Noise abation rules should be followed, especially with the smallish villages around the airport.
The restaurant is still closed as of March 2026, but honey to buy is always available to justify the trip even if you cannot have a 200 € pizza :)
Landshut Airport (EDML)

Landshut also allows flying without an operations manager. After a short briefing at the Tower, you are registered with your license number and can then also go ahead with sunrise and sunset flights.
At present, each operation (departing before the start of aerodrome operations or landing after the end of aerodrome operations) is charged separately. Likewise, circuits are not permitted without an operations manager. That would be a nice option for long summer evenings. Maybe that will come later :)
