PIREPs by Tina

Nice airfield with friendly people who met us at the fuel station. Parking was close by on the tarmac so we could push the plane over without firing up the engine. Payment with aerops: Fuel 100LL 2,50€ per liter, landing 15€. Using the IFR approach was a bit expensive with 36€ for a Mooney with 1420kg MTOW. Taxi into town around 30€ (independent of cab size), Bautzen is a nice historic town well worth a visit.

Report from July 2021: Great airfield to visit the town of Périgueux or take a car and explore the Périgord. French not necessarily required, ATIS speaks English.Modest fees and nice people. Only drawback: AVGAS (TOTAL) quite expensive. They waived us the parking fee for the one night, would have been around 11€ (calculated by MTOW and hours).

Report from July 2021: Nice small airport, mainly glider traffic. Hangars available for 12€ per night, apron 6€.Contact data changed, see picture. Not in AIP, we used the chart provided by aterriza.org to follow the procedure. Madrid ACC can be reached easily for IFR pickup after departure. Spending 1-2days in Soria is highly recommended!

This information is only valid when there is no AFIS (weekdays after 1700LT and weekends) A/a communication in French is required. When we arrived Friday evening, there was nobody and also on Saturday we were alone. There is nothing around, it might be possible to rent a car, we did not try. But if you are into French food, we recommend to go there ( https://www.burnel.fr/hotel-restaurant-hotel-vosges-lorraine ) and have dinner at the restaurant mentioned. Call beforehand (+33 3 29 65 64 10) to do the reservation and they will pick you up at the airport.

Visited in 2020. PPR request sent in good time (4–5 days in advance, with a weekend in between) via email to aero.pantelleria@enac.rupa.it. Since nothing happened, called GAP (+39 0923 911398) and got the email address gappantelleria@gmail.com. Forwarded everything there and then received the PPR from info@aeroportodipantelleria.it.

Costs about €70 for handling, landing, and 2 days of parking for a Mooney M20T. Unfortunately, they do not accept two pilots as crew if the aircraft may be flown single-pilot, and PAX fees apply.

Avgas available at €3.50/l (cash preferred); pre-coordinate with Nautilus via email to pnl.fuel@nautilusaviation.com to ensure it’s arranged.

Pantelleria is recommended and should not be missed on a Sicily tour!

Contacted the handling agent (Email: egsap@icelandair.is / jetcenter@icelandair.is) beforehand as required in the AIP and got a quote for a 4-day stay with a Mooney (leaving the country from there) asking 265 USD. They even warned us that if we departed outside opening hours it will get really expensive. In the end we stayed only 3 nights and paid 156 USD. It was the cheapest Icelandic airport we stayed at (BIRK and BIAR were way more expensive, almost double). The office is located behind the checkin counter.

New airport to serve the Murcia region. Easy car rental. Handling mandatory, reasonable prices and real service by Swissport.Not a lot of traffic when we were there. AVGAS truck arrived quickly, but it comes at a whopping 3,18€/l with BP card.

Great airfield to visit Verona. Notify them before you arrive, telephone seems to work better than email. Good English.Then everything worked well, we arrived VFR from Bolzano and established Radio contract still over Lago di Garda. Traffic well organized, we were asked to report base 08, no issues.Highly recommend this place, fees are moderate.

We informed the airport beforehand and were told that parking on the grass (apron 300) is no problem.Also organized a rental car (rentalcars.com - Hertz), which worked fine.The approach from the north (IFR) was not as smoothe as it could be. Padova required us to cross Brennero at FL 160 and wouldn‘t let us descend afterwards either (same for other aircraft). They did an exaggerated spacing (severe VMC) for the 3 aircraft inbound and also did not accept „overhead the field, ready to cancel IFR“ - we had to fly almost to Trento and hold at FORER before we could descend for the VOR approach fur RWY 01. With gear down, minimum power and speedbrakes we managed to land on RWY 01.Service on the ground was friendly, we had to register as it was the first time there, but after 5-10 mins the paperwork was done and we were good to go.
