Civil airports closed for ultralights
How many civil airports in Europe are closed for ultralight aircrafts?
If so, what's the common cause? Example NOTAM (EPKK): A3465/07 AD NOT AVBL FOR CIVIL ULTRALIGHT AIRCRAFT DUE TO LACK OF PARKING POSITIONS AND GROUND STAFF SHORTAGE. FROM: 30 APR 2007 09:09 TO: 30 OCT 2007 23:59 EST SCHEDULE: 0800-1600 -- SPace-SHIP |

Civil airports closed for ultralights
The categories of aircraft allowed on a given airport are listed in the
AIP, and "UL" will be listed. Those who allow microlights are also marked with a specific symbol on VFR charts. ************************************************** ********************************** When are you folks in "europe" going rise up and throw those socialist monstrosity governments that believe that they OWN you from birth to death, off the continent? denny - ugly, capitalist, revolutionary spawn - and proud of it... |

How many civil airports in Europe are closed for ultralight aircrafts?
If so, what's the common cause? To be more precise: which international airports you are aware of are closed for ultralights? I wonder if this is common practice or just an exception? In terms of ultralight in mean LSA/VLA of MTOW 495/600kg. -- SPace-SHIP |

I wonder if this is common practice or just an exception? Again: When it comes to ultralights, there is no such thing as "Europe". In terms of ultralight in mean LSA/VLA of MTOW 495/600kg. Even this definition is not unified in Europe. |

One variation on the theme is those large airports that require a
transponder to enter the control zone. That tends to keep out most ULs, as it's difficult to fit a transponder within the (in this case) 450 kg MTOM limit. Another variant is the significantly higher landing fees charged at the large airports. Neither one is of course directly shutting out ultralights, but the end result is practically the same. And as already mentioned, each country is different. |

Transponder weights only 1.5kg or even less so it's not a problem. Another variant is the significantly higher landing fees charged at the large airports. The money is not a problem as well. -- SPace-SHIP |
