The airfield Jesenwang is a special airfield for general aviation in the district of Fürstenfeldbruck in Munich and is operated by the airfield Jesenwang GmbH. Airplanes up to a maximum take-off weight of 3 tons, helicopters up to a maximum take-off weight of 5.7 tons, microlights , self-launching gliders and balloons are allowed to take off and land there.
Flight operations
A special feature of the airfield is the junction of the railway in the west7 with the local connecting road Jesenwang - Adelshofen . For aircraft take-off and landing, traffic is stopped by a traffic light to prevent aircraft and cars from approaching.
Despite its cramped location and short runway, Jesenwang airfield is at the top of the German special airfields in terms of the number of flight movements and in the front area of German airfields in general. This is due to its almost exclusive position as a place for general aviation in the Munich area. The closure of the Fürstenfeldbruck airfield is likely to increase the importance of the airfield.
The Munich-Jesenwang flight school (private pilot and ultralight training), Air Charter Luftfahrt GmbH, Weiss H. Flugelektronik, GILWA Luftfahrttechnik GmbH and an airport restaurant are located on the site of the airfield. There is a test site directly adjacent to the airfield. This is used for driving safety training, vehicle development, filming and much more.
Incidents
- On April 24, 2001, a Piper PA- 18-150 crashed on EDMJ. A wing touched a bush in a gust of wind. The aircraft was destroyed at the subsequent Ringelpiez .
- On May 1, 2001, a Platzer Lapwing had an accident after the start. It did not gain enough height and grazed the trees in extension of the slope. The plane crashed into the forest from a height of 29 meters. The passenger seated in front was critically injured, the pilot only slightly.
- On May 1, 2007, a Zodiac 601 D touched treetops while approaching and crashed about 900 m from the runway. The microlight immediately caught fire on impact and exploded, killing the two occupants.
- In mid-July 2014, a small aircraft of an unknown type overturned, which after take-off did not come up to altitude due to lack of power, about 400 m behind the runway in a stubble field. The 63-year-old solo flier got away with the horror.
- On May 21, 2016, a 50-year-old flier had engine problems immediately after taking off on EDMJ at low altitude. The rescue system on his Breezer Aircraft machine failed. He and his companion did not survive the crash.
- On August 1, 2019, a two - seater low- wing aircraft of the type Eurostar EV97 suddenly fell steeply into a maize field at around 1:20 pm when approaching Jesenwang EDMJ almost 2000 m before reaching the runway. The 46-year-old pilot was fatally injured by the force of the impact.
