Great news! The lack of instrument approach was stressing me out. Great VFR day in the end but could have had to wait on weather.
And from March 1, 2018 EDAZ will have an IFR approach too. One of my favourite airports, and one of my favourite cities aswell.
Ended up landing today at EDAZ. I had planned EDAY but when I called them they said they needed to organize with the police to do a border control check (coming from Wick, Scotland) and it would take some time to get confirmation from them. While waiting for them to email me the form to get started I called EDAZ and they said sure, just come any time, no problem. We filed (no small feat, with the help of Drew from Far North) and left for EDAZ. Super easy on arrival. Drove us to the train station and we were in Berlin in an hour and a half from touchdown.
Thanks to all who offered suggestions! Will report back more about fees when I leave.
Nick, to answer your question: if you want an overview of German airfields that offer immigration, then you either have to get the Germam AIP VFR (published by DFS) or get the Jeppesen Airfield Manual (both you have to pay for).
The German Border Police also used to publish a very handy lost of border crossing points on their website, but that doc has long been pulled. I have it locally on my ipad, but it’s outdated by now.
EDAY is a very nice airport with accommodation, refueling and customs/ immigration whatever you want. My base is 5NM out of EDAY. If you intend to visit Berlin I would be happy to help you. I’m a Berliner! My TB20 gets only fuel for 1.99€, If you want, I can show you this place. It’s very, very close to EDAY.
welcome to Berlin

Thanks Peter
This topic is a hot one in Europe… I have just started this thread.
Is there a general source for this kind of information rather than trying to find any airport’s own web page?
EDIT: I see your note.. AIP.. how do I find this information? Sorry for the very basic question
EDAY: https://www.flugplatz-strausberg.de/?path_wechsel=en&path=content/de/flugplatz.php&lang=de&nv=&id=
Best source is usually the airfield’s web page. Much better than AIP or any of the databases.
