What happened
On May 25, 2025, a pilot holding a PPL(A) license, accompanied by one passenger, planned a flight from EPBC to EPRJ in an AT-3R100, registration SP-RWG. The flight commenced at approximately 09:03 LMT. During the approach to the destination, the pilot established radio contact with airport services and received necessary information and landing clearance.
The aircraft landed at EPRJ at approximately 11:00. After landing, the pilot taxied the aircraft to a hangar and shut down the engine. At this time, airport ground personnel approached the pilot to inform them that EPRJ is a private-use aerodrome and that landing permission must be obtained from the airport manager in advance. According to the AIP Poland, glider flights at EPRJ require telephone notification and specific conditions provided by TWR Rzeszów, and permission must be requested from the manager at least 24 hours in advance for non-users of the facility.
Following the encounter with ground staff, the pilot coordinated with the airport security service (SOL) and taxied the aircraft to the Rzeszów Aero Club parking area. The pilot subsequently confirmed that the landing conditions had not been coordinated with the airport manager, and the necessary permission had not been obtained.
