Flugplatz Neustadt – Glewe

Flugplatz Neustadt-Glewe is a shared aerodrome in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany, at about 32 m, where hang gliders and paragliders fly alongside powered aircraft, gliders, skydivers and model aircraft on the same field. Because it's a genuine multi-use airfield rather than a dedicated free-flying site, every pilot needs a briefing on operating around an active airfield before flying here, and carrying a radio is strongly encouraged given how much other traffic shares the space. The upside of that shared setup is flexibility: launches are possible in essentially any wind direction, and pilots can choose between winch towing and ultralight-aircraft towing, which is unusual among flatland sites and opens up more flying days than a winch-only field would.

Launch & conditions
