Online Reviews Summary

Traveler experiences at Vieux-Ferrette Airfield (FR-0562), a private ULM (ultralight motorized) base not open to public air traffic, primarily reflect the perspectives of ultralight pilots. The overall sentiment suggests a well-managed private field that values community relations and specific operational procedures. Access requires prior authorization, emphasizing its non-commercial nature.

What Travelers Love

Scenic Location: Situated in the Sundgau region of Southern Alsace, at the foot of the Jura mountains and near the Swiss and German borders, offering picturesque flying conditions.
International Community: The Club ULM-Regio de Vieux Ferrette fosters an international environment, with members predominantly from France, Switzerland, and Germany.
Simple Access Procedure: Non-based pilots can gain access by sending a simple "avis de vol" (flight notice) via email or SMS, which serves as authorization without waiting for a response.
Local Amenities: While the airfield itself has limited facilities, there are restaurants and guesthouses available in close proximity.

Common Complaints

Restricted Access and Procedures: As a private ULM base, it is not open to public air traffic (CAP), and all non-based pilots require prior authorization or a flight notice. Training circuits and exercises are also prohibited for non-based aircraft.
Noise Abatement Regulations: Strict rules are in place regarding overflying neighboring villages and farms to the southwest, west, and northwest, due to sensitive residents, which may limit flight paths.
Limited On-Site Facilities: There is no mention of typical commercial airport terminal facilities or amenities; pilots should expect basic provisions appropriate for a small private ULM field.
Short Grass Runway: The airfield features a short grass runway (305x20 meters or approximately 1000x65 feet), which, along with a synthetic track (Terra-Grid plates), may require specific pilot skills and attention.

Vieux-Ferrette Airfield is ideal for ultralight pilots seeking a friendly, internationally-oriented club experience in a beautiful region, provided they adhere to the necessary access procedures and respect local noise regulations. It is not suitable for general public travel or for pilots expecting extensive on-site amenities.
