Baden Baden - EDSB or EDTB?
We're planning a trip for the May bank holiday down to Baden Baden (so good they named it twice!)...
I note on the chart that there are two airfields, KARLSRUHE/BADEN-BADEN EDSB (3km of asphalt) and BADEN-OOS EDTB (790m of grass - plenty for my purposes in a PA28).
Anyone able to help us choose between the two? Default for me would be Baden-Oos as it seems closer to the town and assume it would be cheaper.
Thanks!
Andy

Hi there,
Baden-Oos is no longer a public use airfield. It is a special use airfield for the local flying club and I don't think you will be allowed to land there.
EDSB is an ok airport. It has a long runway, ILS and light airline traffic. Don't be surprised: approach control is done by the French (Strassbourg approach).
It used to be an airbase and everything is quite spread-out. Last time I was there the GA Terminal was rather run down and remote but this may have changed. There is a regular bus service from the main terminal to the city (bus 205 I believe).
Landing fee and parking for one night should cost you around 30 Euros. I suggest you call them or check their fees online.
Hope this helps!

Check it out on AIRPORT Flughafen Flugplatz Pilot ( www . airports . de )
I have a very vague memory of very early closing hours, better ask if you do call them. Which is ALWAYS a good idea, often even mandatory for PPR.
BTW Baden-Baden means "the city of Baden in the region (or county, or whatever) of Baden". Today that region is joined in the state of Baden-Württemberg.

Thx - Baden-Oos EDTB unfortunately does not have a listing in www.airports.de, only EDTB does (http://www.airports.de/component/opt...d,206/lang,en/)...

Sorry, hadn't checked. Still, www.fluglehrerteam.de - Baden-Oos Flugplatz EDTB
does confirm "only for club members", so I'm afraid it won't be any good for your trip. It never hurts to ask, though.
