Online Reviews Summary

Schameder Airfield (EDGQ) is a small general aviation airfield in Germany, primarily catering to gliding and light aircraft activities. Traveler sentiment, largely derived from participant experiences and club communications rather than traditional passenger reviews, is overwhelmingly positive, emphasizing a strong sense of community and the joy of flight. It's viewed as a vibrant hub for aviation enthusiasts and those seeking introductory flying experiences.

What Travelers Love
  • Passionate Community and Club Atmosphere: The airfield is operated by the Flugsportverein Schameder-Wittgenstein e.V., fostering a welcoming and active community for members and guests alike.
  • Excellent for Flight Training and Introductory Flights: The airfield is highly regarded for gliding lessons and offers introductory flights for visitors, providing a unique perspective of the Wittgensteiner Land. Successful solo flights by students are a regular highlight.
  • Scenic Flying Opportunities: Guests particularly enjoy the breathtaking views over forests, valleys, and villages during flights.
  • Engaging Social Events: Beyond flying, Schameder Airfield hosts various well-attended events like "Trucks on Airfield" and "Holder- und Treckerfreunde," creating a lively atmosphere for families and enthusiasts.
  • "Flugplatz-Schänke" and Family-Friendly Amenities: The presence of an airfield tavern and a playground makes it a comfortable spot for visitors to relax and watch the flight operations.
Common Complaints
  • Limited "Traveler" Information: As a special landing field ("Sonderlandeplatz") focused on club activities, there are no traditional commercial terminal facilities, security checkpoints, or customs/immigration services. Therefore, typical traveler complaints related to these aspects are not applicable.
  • Specific Access Requirements: For non-club flights, Prior Permission Required (PPR) is in effect, which means casual, unplanned landings are generally not permitted.

Schameder Airfield stands out as a charming and active center for general aviation, offering a unique and engaging experience for flying enthusiasts, students, and local visitors. Its strength lies in its community spirit, dedicated flight training, and diverse social events, rather than typical airport services.
