PIREPs by Bernd

Sunday, 31 Aug 25 in an SR20 via Y flight plan to Lelystad. Handoff from Radar to Tower. Everything very professional and super friendly. Lots of GA traffic on the field. Parked on Apron D right by the tower. No tie-downs available, but it’s more sheltered from the wind near the tower.

Landing fee incl. weekend surcharge approx. €36; parking five days at approx. €20/day.

Departure on Friday, 05 Sep 25 via SID, handoff from Tower to Approach, who immediately vectored us around heavy precipitation. Again, everyone involved very professional and friendly.

Lelystad is in the middle of nowhere and was only a starting point for a sailing trip for us. In that context, would gladly use it again.
