Norden-Norddeich Airport (EDWS) is a small aerodrome on the North Sea coast of Lower Saxony, serving Norddeich near Norden as a gateway for flights out to the East Frisian Islands. Sitting right at sea level, it offers a single hard-surfaced runway and a straightforward VFR environment for visiting light aircraft.

Overview

Norden-Norddeich Airport lies at Norddeich in Lower Saxony, close to the North Sea coastline, and functions as a small-airport with scheduled airline service, most notably supporting flights out to the East Frisian Islands such as Norderney. For a simulator pilot it offers a compact, low-lying coastal field that is easy to fly to visually and useful as a hop-off point for short island crossings.

Airspace & Location

The airfield is located at coordinates 53.6332 N, 7.1895 E, on the Lower Saxony coast near Norden and the North Sea shoreline. Traffic in the vicinity is worked by an aeronautical information service rather than full air traffic control, consistent with the airfield's status as a small, uncontrolled aerodrome.

Runways

Norden-Norddeich Airport has a single physical runway, 16/34, measuring 2154 feet with a hard surface and runway lighting. There is no ILS available, so approaches and departures are flown visually.

Radio & Navigation

Two frequencies are published for the field: an AFIS frequency of 128.525 MHz identified as Langen Information, and an information frequency of 123.03 MHz identified as Norddeich Radio. Pilots should expect to receive traffic and airfield information over these frequencies rather than a full ATC clearance service, and there is no ILS or other instrument approach aid at the field.
