The guide is aimed at a steadily growing target group: in Germany alone, there are over 500 such UL airfields, which are mainly used by hobby and recreational pilots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What exactly does the new guide offer?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Visual flight and aerodrome charts<\/strong> of all \u00a76-UL places that are not already included in the classic <em>Airfield Guide Germany<\/em> are included.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A <strong>AIP-like design<\/strong> with true-to-scale representation, geographical heights, obstacles, aerodrome heights (usually in feet above MSL), misdirected courses and UTC times.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An alphabetically sorted <strong>AD part (Aerodrome Directory)<\/strong> with contact details, telephone numbers, websites and QR codes that enable quick digital access to further information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Physical equipment<\/strong>The guide is designed as a DIN A5 ring binder with sturdy pages (80 g\/m\u00b2), scratch-resistant film lamination and a mechanism that can be opened manually.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The data originates from the <strong>ifos GmbH<\/strong>information from official sources such as the <strong>NfL<\/strong>the <strong>DULV database<\/strong> and own research. Updates will be <strong>not delivered within one edition<\/strong>but are available as online updates on the Eisenschmidt website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Price:<\/strong> The complete folder with all available cards costs 47.90 euros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Detailed orientation in complex airspaces: the new AAC250 maps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the UL Guide, a new generation of maps also celebrated its premiere: the <strong>Aeronautical Area Chart 1:250,000 (AAC250)<\/strong>. These charts supplement the previously established ICAO charts at a scale of 1:500,000 by being specially designed for <strong>Highly complex airspace structures<\/strong> focus - ideal for VFR flights in areas with intense traffic density.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Target group and area of application:<\/strong> AAC250 charts provide pilots operating in the vicinity of large commercial airports with a significantly better overview of controlled airspaces, flight restriction areas and relevant radio frequencies. Particularly in regions with dense airspace utilisation, this can help to <strong>Increased safety<\/strong> and simplify navigation planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Two editions are currently available:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>AAC250 Rhine-Ruhr<\/strong>The airspace around D\u00fcsseldorf (EDDL) and Cologne\/Bonn (EDDK).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>AAC250 Rhine-Main<\/strong>The area around Frankfurt am Main International Airport (EDDF) is covered.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Eisenschmidt, further sheets for other German conurbations are in preparation. The maps are published in the classic folding format and are, as usual with Eisenschmidt, <strong>Laminated and robust<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Price:<\/strong> 25 euros per card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Significance for general aviation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both products are aimed at the central challenges of general aviation: safety, clarity and efficiency. While the UL Guide takes particular account of the large number of non-standardised sites and offers UL pilots a sound basis for planning, the AAC250 charts help with orientation in complex airspaces - an aspect that is becoming increasingly relevant, particularly in conurbations with military, commercial and leisure air traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Source references:<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fliegermagazin.de\/news\/neu-bei-eisenschmidt-vfr-anflugkarten-fuer-ul-aac250-karten-2025\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.fliegermagazin.de\/news\/fussball-em-2024-sorgt-fuer-zahlreiche-sperrgebiete-im-luftraum\/#:~:text=Drei%20Sicherheitsstufen%20w%C3%A4hrend%20der%20Fu%C3%9Fball%2DEM%20202&amp;text=Die%20Flugbeschr%C3%A4nkungsgebiete%20befinden%20sich%20immer,Luftraum%20vormittags%20normal%20nutzbar%20sein.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Aviation magazine<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At AERO 2025, the renowned pilot shop Eisenschmidt presented two important innovations that are of particular interest to general aviation and especially ultralight pilots and VFR users: the Airfield Guide Ultralight 2025 and the new Aeronautical Area Charts at a scale of 1:250,000 (AAC250).
