Aerodromul Costinești is a small private grass airfield on Romania's Black Sea coast, a kilometre south of the resort town of Costinești in Constanța County. It is used for ultralight and light-aircraft flight training as well as pleasure and aerobatic flying along the coastline, and offers a straightforward single grass strip with no instrument approach.
Aerodromul Costinești (ICAO LRSC) is a private aerodrome situated near the town of Schitu in Constanța County, on Romania's Black Sea coast. It is described as a private aerodrome (aerodrom particular) that caters specifically to flying enthusiasts, offering instruction on aeroplanes and motorised paragliders (motodeltaplan) throughout the year. The site was chosen for its favourable aerology for ultralight flying and for terrain that is largely free of obstacles, making it an interesting and approachable destination for a simulator pilot wanting a taste of Black Sea coastal flying.
The aerodrome lies about one kilometre south of the town of Costinești, near the Schitul Sfânta Elena monastery by the sea, reached locally via Drumul comunal 4. It sits on the Black Sea coast in Constanța County, Romania, within reach of the wider Constanța area. No specific airspace classification or controlling authority is given in the available sources.
The aerodrome has a single grass runway orientated 10/28, measuring 1280 feet in length. There is no ILS or other instrument approach available, and no closed or relic runways are recorded.
No radio callsign, frequency, ATC or navaid information is available in the sources for this aerodrome.
No published joining or circuit procedures, circuit heights, or noise abatement restrictions are given in the available sources.
The town of Costinești itself, lying about a kilometre north of the field, and the nearby Schitul Sfânta Elena monastery close to the sea, serve as useful visual landmarks for locating the aerodrome along the coast. Local pleasure flights from the field commonly route along the coastline towards Mamaia, Vama Veche, and Mangalia, and past a well-known shipwreck near Mangalia, giving a sense of the surrounding coastal geography a pilot might use for orientation.
The site was established as a private aerodrome specifically to serve flying enthusiasts, with the location at Costinești chosen for its favourable aerology for ultralight aircraft and for terrain largely free of obstacles.
Aerodromul Costinești remains active as a private flying field, offering flight instruction on light aeroplanes and motorised paragliders year-round through resident pilots. It is also used for pleasure and aerobatic flights along the Black Sea coast, with local operators offering aerobatic sightseeing flights and aircraft rental from the field, flying routes toward Mamaia, Vama Veche, and Mangalia.
