About Bamberg-Breitenau Airfield

Overview

Bamberg-Breitenau Airfield (EDQA) is a medium-sized airport located near Bamberg, Germany, situated at an elevation of 811 feet above mean sea level. The airport serves the local aviation community in the Bavaria region, providing infrastructure for general aviation and potentially small commercial operations. Its strategic location offers access to the surrounding Franconian landscape.

Flying Conditions

Located at 811 ft MSL, the airport experiences typical Central European weather patterns with potential seasonal variations affecting flight conditions. The airport's elevation and geographic position suggest moderate wind and visibility challenges that pilots should anticipate during approach and departure. Standard meteorological monitoring would be recommended for precise pre-flight planning.

Notable Features

The airport features two asphalt runways: Runway 03/21 measuring 4,111 feet and Runway 04/22 measuring 3,773 feet. These parallel runways provide operational flexibility for different wind directions and aircraft types, with sufficient length to accommodate most general aviation and small commercial aircraft. The terrain surrounding Bamberg-Breitenau appears to be relatively flat, consistent with the Franconian landscape.

Approach Considerations

Pilots should consider runway orientation when planning approaches, with 03/21 and 04/22 offering different wind alignment options. The substantial runway lengths (over 3,700 feet) provide reasonable margins for most aircraft categories. Standard visual and instrument approach protocols would apply, with specific local procedures to be confirmed through current aeronautical publications.
