Leipzig–Altenburg Airport (EDAC) is a former military airfield at Nobitz in Thuringia, close to the town of Altenburg, offering a single long hard-runway with a full ILS approach. It sits well south of the major Leipzig/Halle hub and is of interest to VFR and IFR pilots alike for its generous runway length and straightforward approach aids.
Leipzig–Altenburg Airport, ICAO code EDAC, lies at Nobitz in the German state of Thuringia. It is a mid-sized aerodrome built around a single physical runway, oriented 04/22, with an instrument landing system serving runway 22. The field sits at an elevation of 620 feet and is identified in aeronautical data under the name Leipzig–Altenburg Airport, distinguishing it from the much larger Leipzig/Halle Airport (EDDP) to the north.
The airfield is located at Nobitz, Thuringia, at coordinates 50.9818 N, 12.5064 E. No specific airspace classification, FIR boundary or ATZ detail is available beyond the field's position near the town of Altenburg.
The aerodrome has a single physical runway, 04/22, of hard surface and lit along its length. The 04 threshold data show a length of 7122 feet, while the 22 threshold data show 6343 feet; runway 22 is equipped with an ILS.
Radio services associated with the field include an AFIS frequency of 125.8 MHz for Langen Information, an ATIS on 123.855 MHz identified as Leipzig ATIS, ground control (Rollkontrolle) on 121.805 MHz as Leipzig Ground, and tower frequencies of 121.105 MHz for the southern sector and 125.955 MHz for the northern sector, both under the callsign Leipzig Tower/Turm.
