Aalen Heidenheim Elchingen Airfield (EDPA) is a small general aviation aerodrome near Neresheim in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, sitting at a relatively high elevation of 1913 feet amid the rolling terrain of the Swabian Jura. It offers a trio of parallel runways combining hard and grass surfaces, making it a useful and characterful stop for VFR pilots exploring this part of southern Germany.
Aalen Heidenheim Elchingen Airfield, identified by the ICAO code EDPA, is a small aerodrome serving the Aalen and Heidenheim area of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It lies close to the town of Neresheim and, at just over 1900 feet above sea level, is one of the higher-altitude airfields in the region. Its layout of three parallel hard and grass runways, together with its uncontrolled, information-service style of operation, makes it a straightforward and interesting destination for visiting light aircraft pilots flying VFR.
The airfield is located near Neresheim in Baden-Württemberg, at coordinates 48.7778 N, 10.2647 E, and sits at an elevation of 1913 feet. It operates as an aerodrome flight information service (AFIS) field rather than under full air traffic control, consistent with its status as a small regional airfield in German airspace.
Aalen Heidenheim Elchingen Airfield has three parallel physical runways aligned approximately 09/27. The northernmost pair, 09L/27R, is a hard surface measuring around 3155 feet in length and is lit. A second, shorter grass runway, 09R/27L, measures 2833 feet and is also lit. A third grass strip, 08R/26L, measures 2821 feet and is lit as well. There is no ILS at the field.
The airfield provides an aerodrome flight information service (AFIS) on 128.95 MHz, with the callsign Aalen Radio. Pilots transiting the wider area can also make use of Langen Information on 122.405 MHz for regional flight information services. There are no published instrument approaches or navaids associated with the field.
Aalen Heidenheim Elchingen Airfield continues to operate as a general aviation aerodrome serving light aircraft in the Aalen and Heidenheim districts of Baden-Württemberg. Pilots planning a visit should check whether prior permission is required before arrival.
