About Dannevirke Aerodrome

Flight Information
- There are no lights on the runways. This means planes can only land or take off during daylight hours.
- For fixed-wing aircraft (like regular planes), the flight path for landing and taking off is usually a "left-hand circuit." This means planes turn left when flying around the airport before landing.
