Luftsportverein Aichach - EDAA

In the 1930s there were the first gliding flights on the slope of the Ecknachtal, where the southern industrial area of ​​Aichach is located today. In 1936 the first buildings (airport barracks, workrooms) were erected there. After the end of the war, it took until 1950 before a local flying club was founded again. In the early 1960s, the city made today's site available to him. In 1965, permission was granted to operate an initially 450 m long runway. This was extended to its current size as part of the land consolidation in 1982. Runway 02/20 (also 36/18 to avoid confusion) is 580 meters long and 30 meters wide and has an asphalt runway 270 meters long and 5 meters wide. The operator of the airfield is LSV Aichach. This has several microlight aircraft, two motor gliders, a mobile twin-drum take-off winch and a rope return vehicle. The airfield also has a control tower, a gas station and a hangar. For noise protection reasons, when approaching runway 02 (36), make sure that there is a soccer field nearby and that residential areas are not to be flown over. The church tower of the parish church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary should also be noted when approaching. Runway 02/20 crosses a road secured by a barrier.
