Soest-Bad Sassendorf Airfield
Airport in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
Soest-Bad Sassendorf Airfield (ICAO: EDLZ), located in the Sauerland region close to Soest and the Möhnesee, between the A 44 and B 1, is now a civilian airfield. It is rated / approved as a 'special landing site'. These are often used by private aero clubs. Unlike a commercial airfield, only the operators (and upon request also third parties) may take off and land. There is no obligation to operate, and therefore published opening times are not required.
In 2001, the airfield saw the launch of the Airfisch 8 ground effect vehicle, designed to fly only 0.1 to 2.5 metres (3.9 inches to 8 feet 2.4 inches) above the water's surface.[1][2]
