3. Price Information:
NIL
4. The Airport:
The runway is gravel/grass surfaced. Water at both ends – a river in the east, a lake in the west, so there are no significant obstacles in the end sectors. The at times strong downdrafts caused by the cold flowing river should be taken seriously in the final part of 25.
Seaplane pilots should note that power lines cross the river on the north side of the field and there are plenty of underwater rocks under the rock ledge next to the runway.
Especially during the spring floods, the lake level rises, shortening the length of the runway from the end of 25 and moving it from the threshold of 07. In the airport area and its surroundings, there are plenty of migratory birds in spring and autumn.
We try to cut the grass regularly, but it may be a little longer from time to time. Call the airport manager to get up-to-date situational information, if you don’t have it yourself!
