What Travelers Say

AI-Generated Summary Based on web research

Traveler sentiment regarding Kronach Airfield (DE-0058) is largely positive, particularly among glider pilots and general aviation enthusiasts. The airfield is celebrated for its picturesque location and excellent conditions for flying, serving primarily as a hub for the Aero-Club Frankenwald e.V.. Due to its nature as a small general aviation airfield, typical "traveler reviews" found for commercial airports, including detailed information on security wait times or customs, are not available or applicable.

What Travelers Love
  • Idyllic Location and Flying Conditions: Situated on the Kreuzberg, approximately 150m above Kronach, the airfield offers a thermally favorable location ideal for glider pilots and is considered a perfect starting point for extensive cross-country flights.
  • Access to Scenic Flight Routes: Pilots appreciate the excellent connectivity for reaching popular flight areas such as the Thuringian Forest, Fichtelgebirge, and Franconian Switzerland.
  • Clubhouse and Facilities: The presence of a Vereinsheim (clubhouse) provides a pleasant opportunity for refreshments and socializing on gliding days, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere. The airfield also boasts two hangars and a small wooden tower.
  • Community and Support for Flight Groups: The Aero-Club Frankenwald actively hosts visiting flight groups, fostering a strong sense of community within the gliding world.
Common Complaints
  • Strict Restrictions for Motorized Aircraft: There are rigorous limitations on ultralight (UL) aircraft, capped at 100 starts per year and primarily for club members. Motorized airplanes are mostly permitted for aerotowing (F-Schlepp) with a similar annual start restriction.
  • Lack of Direct Public Transportation: Visitors note the absence of public transport connections directly to the airfield, making access primarily dependent on private vehicles.
  • Noise Abatement Procedures: Motorized aircraft are required to avoid residential areas due to noise regulations, which pilots must adhere to during take-offs, landings, and circuit flying.

Kronach Airfield (DE-0058) is highly recommended for glider pilots and general aviation enthusiasts seeking an idyllic location with excellent thermal conditions and a strong club community. However, pilots of motorized aircraft, especially ultralights, should be aware of and adhere to the specific operational restrictions and noise regulations.
