Online Reviews Summary

Cheb Airfield (LKCB) primarily serves general and sport aviation, and traveler sentiment is largely positive within this context. Pilots generally find it to be an excellent airfield for general aviation, though some aspects of its infrastructure present challenges. There is limited information available regarding typical commercial passenger experiences, as it is not a major commercial airport.

What Travelers Love

General Aviation Friendly: Pilots consistently rate it as an excellent airport for general aviation, appreciated for its accessibility and historical significance.
Challenging Approach: The approach to Runway 06 offers a "precise low and tight final turn" that is considered a demanding yet rewarding experience for pilots who enjoy technical flying.
Responsive Communication: Contact with airfield personnel, specifically Mr. Luděk Matějíček, is noted as helpful, with arrangements for outside operating hours landings often possible via email.
Affordable Local Transport: A taxi ride to Cheb town is relatively inexpensive, costing approximately 100 CZK (5€).

Common Complaints

Poor Concrete Runway Condition: The concrete runway (06/24) surface condition is poor, with the parallel grass strip often being the preferred option for landing.
Limited Operating Hours: Pilots should be aware that the airfield's operating hours are limited, requiring prior arrangement for landings or departures outside these times.
No Fuel Available: At least one recent pilot report indicated no fuel services at the airfield.
Basic Facilities: As a general aviation airfield, it lacks the extensive terminal facilities, amenities, and food/retail options typically found at larger commercial airports. There is no mention of dedicated customs or immigration services on-site for general aviation users, implying these would need to be cleared at a designated international airport.

Overall, Cheb Airfield is highly recommended for general aviation pilots seeking a welcoming and historically significant destination, particularly those who appreciate a technical flying challenge. However, prospective visitors should be prepared for basic infrastructure and the need to confirm services like fuel and operating hours in advance.
