Regulations
Airfield regulations
Use of the airfield implies full acceptance of these regulations, which govern the use of the field intended exclusively for recreational or sport flying activities with ultralight aircraft, in compliance with the applicable laws and with the Operator's provisions.
Operator: Garda Lake Airfield S.S.D. a R.L. — Registered office: Località Altura 1, 37017 Lazise (VR) — Tax ID / VAT 05137570239
Status and operation of the airfield
Airfield located in the Municipality of Castelnuovo del Garda (VR), coordinates 45°27'06.9"N – 10°43'23.4"E, elevation 278 ft AMSL. Activity is permitted exclusively under daytime VFR conditions, from sunrise to sunset. The Operator reserves the right to suspend airfield activity temporarily or permanently for reasons of safety, maintenance, weather conditions or orders of the competent Authorities, without this entailing any liability on the part of the Operator, except for the refund of amounts already paid for services not used.
Admitted aircraft
The airfield is reserved exclusively for ultralight aircraft (microlights) with a maximum take-off mass (MTOW) not exceeding 600 kg. Aircraft exceeding this limit are not permitted.
PPR (Prior Permission Required) obligation
Access to the airfield, including landing, take-off and parking operations, is permitted exclusively subject to prior PPR authorisation, which is always mandatory: valid only for the authorised dates, effective only after payment, and required even in the absence of traffic or for short stops. Overnight parking is permitted even without a hangar, unless otherwise instructed by the Operator.
Repositioning and handling of aircraft
Pilots who, for operational reasons, need to move other aircraft in order to access or exit the hangar are required to reposition them immediately, properly close the hangar and operate with the utmost care to avoid damage. Any damage caused to third parties or to aircraft must be reported immediately to the Operator and to the owner of the damaged aircraft.
Weather conditions
In the event of adverse weather (strong wind, rain, hail) aircraft must be promptly secured. The runway may be used only after suitable conditions have been restored, subject to the Operator's authorisation.
Use of hangars and aircraft shelters
It is forbidden to park motor vehicles inside the hangars, to store unauthorised or hazardous materials, and to carry out extraordinary maintenance (disassembly, painting, structural modifications) except for short periods and subject to prior authorisation. Each User is responsible for the cleanliness and tidiness of the assigned space. The Operator declines all liability for materials and equipment left unattended.
Safety prohibitions
Inside the hangars it is strictly forbidden to start engines, smoke, or keep fuels or flammable materials. Engine start-up is permitted only in the designated areas, with all the safety precautions required by good aeronautical practice.
Grass surface maintenance
The runway undergoes periodic maintenance of the grass surface by means of a mowing tractor, including during unattended hours. Compliance with PPR procedures before every flight operation is therefore mandatory.
Guest access
Guest access is permitted only upon prior notice to the Operator. The hosting User is responsible for the conduct of their guests; minors must be accompanied at all times. The Operator reserves the right to restrict or deny access for safety reasons.
Video surveillance and alarms
The facilities are equipped with video surveillance and alarm systems. Access to the footage is limited to the areas under the User's responsibility, in compliance with privacy legislation. The full privacy notice on data processing is available on the site's Privacy page.
Liability
Each User is directly liable for damage caused to persons, property or facilities. Parking and hangar shelter do not constitute a deposit contract within the meaning of art. 1766 of the Italian Civil Code: the parking areas are unattended and the Operator assumes no obligation of custody or surveillance. The Operator holds a third-party liability insurance policy but, except in cases of wilful misconduct or gross negligence, is not liable for theft, fire or damage to aircraft, materials and equipment parked or stored. Hangar fire insurance is in place according to the arrangements established by the Operator.
Default
In the event of unpaid amounts, the Operator may exercise the right of retention over the aircraft pursuant to art. 2756 of the Italian Civil Code, until the sums due are paid in full.
Jurisdiction
Any dispute relating to the interpretation and application of these regulations falls under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Verona, without prejudice to the mandatory consumer forum under the Italian Consumer Code (Legislative Decree 206/2005), where applicable.
