Landshut Airfield (EDML) is a general aviation aerodrome in Bavaria, Germany, situated northeast of Munich and close to Moosburg. It offers a mix of paved and grass runways and sits just outside the northeastern edge of Munich's Class C control zone, making it a useful and interesting VFR destination for pilots wanting to experience Bavarian general aviation flying.
Landshut Airfield, identified by the ICAO code EDML, is a general aviation airfield serving the city of Landshut in Bavaria. It is owned by the municipal utility company of Landshut and operated commercially as "Landen in Landshut", having grown from a modest air sports club field into a small but well-equipped aerodrome with hangars, a control tower and a restaurant. For the visiting VFR pilot it is notable chiefly for its proximity to Munich's busy Class C airspace, which demands careful planning on both arrival and departure.
The airfield lies northeast of Munich Airport (EDDM), close to the town of Moosburg. It is an uncontrolled aerodrome with no control zone of its own, but its location just outside the northeastern boundary of Munich's Class C control zone, whose base in this area is 3500 ft, means pilots must exercise particular care when joining, departing or transiting in the vicinity. The field lies at coordinates 48.5127N 12.035E at an elevation of 1309 ft.
Landshut has two physical runways aligned 06/24. The main runway, 06/24, has a hard surface and measures 2943 ft in length, with runway lighting. Alongside it runs a parallel grass runway, 06L/24R, of 2853 ft, also lit. There is no ILS at the field.
Two frequencies serve the area: Langen Information provides a regional flight information service (AFIS) on 120.65 MHz, while the airfield's own station, Landshut Radio, offers an aerodrome information service on 129.805 MHz. There is no ILS or other instrument approach aid published for the field.
Landshut is an uncontrolled airfield with a published circuit height of 2500 ft MSL, flown as a north circuit. Because of the field's closeness to Munich's Class C control zone, both approach and departure require special care and attention to avoid infringing that airspace. Noise abatement considerations also apply on departure, given nearby built-up areas.
The town of Moosburg, immediately adjacent to the airfield, and the wider urban area of Landshut to the southeast serve as the principal visual landmarks for locating and approaching the field, given the absence of instrument approach aids.
Landshut Airfield was built after some five years of planning, with construction beginning in 1961 and the airfield officially opening on 26 August 1962. Flying operations began with a local air sports club using a single hangar and a grass runway. A restaurant and a control tower were added in 1967. In 2002 ownership passed to the municipal utility company of Landshut, with "Landen in Landshut GmbH" becoming the official operator of the site.
The airfield today has a modern control tower, hangars and a restaurant, and continues to be run by Landen in Landshut GmbH under the ownership of Landshut's municipal utility company. It functions as a working general aviation base with both paved and grass runway options for club and visiting traffic.
