For our blog, we are looking for new airports, linked to beautiful places. There may already be a little more challenge than a 1,200-meter asphalt runway, right?

For pilots with a little more experience, EDRM, Traben-Trarbach is a “must visit.”

With good flight preparation (don’t forget PPR), this airport is a fun destination!

The circuit can be flown either LH or RH. For landing (upslope) I chose LH 36, and for departure LH 18, which worked fine. This worked fine. The airfield is on a plateau 903ft, surrounded by low mountains of +/-1,500ft.

We performed a go-around on the first approach. Be well prepared for this procedure, and make a decision early. The grass course is slightly uphill (12 meters), and there is a line of trees at the end. Check Google Earth!

Finding a cab was quick. It was a short, affordable ride into town.
