Common Complaints

No On-site Refueling: Pilots need to be aware that refueling facilities are not available at Wildberg Airfield.
Prior Permission Required (PPR) for Pilots: Landings and take-offs require prior arrangement, and pilots must have a minimum of 50 hours of flight experience to use the airfield.
Limited "Terminal" Amenities: As a special airfield for general aviation, it lacks the extensive terminal facilities, security checkpoints, and customs/immigration services found at commercial airports.
Outdated Restaurant Reviews: While the restaurant is a highlight, recent traveler reviews specifically for the Gaststätte are somewhat limited, with the newest found being from 2013.

Wildberg Airfield is highly recommended for private pilots meeting the experience requirements and for families looking for a unique outing with a good restaurant and the excitement of watching aircraft. It serves as an excellent regional hub for recreational aviation and a charming spot for locals and tourists alike, rather than a conventional travel hub.
