Posted on another thread but figured I’d add here in case anyone missed it. I unded up using 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.
Fees FYI:
Landing fee noise level B €18.24
Parking fee €8.82 per day
Customs/border control €8.15
Shuttle to train station €10.08
Fuel €1.92/liter
VAT not included
Service (cash only!)
O2 Refill service €100
TKS Service 0.25 hr €16
TKS Fluid €6.52/liter
VAT not included
O2 €100 – that’s the margin – they probably spent €2-3 worth of O2 for refilling. However, the rest seems quite acceptable, even TKS which is usually €6.40 (w/o VAT) in retail is fairly priced.

I agree, pricing was pretty decent except for the O2. It was £55 in Wick EGPC

Who charged you for the O2? I suppose it was not the airport itself but this was one of the local maintenance companies? EDAZ itself has very reasonable charges all over except their JetA1 price which is high.

It was CD Aircraft Maintenance GMBH. They seemed to be the go-to shop on the field but I didn’t ask if there were other options.
It is very hard to fill O2 bottles at airfields these days. You should be glad they had O2 and the right adapter for you aircraft.
I’ll put it here:
Since yesterday, Schönhagen (EDAZ) now finally has IFR procedures (RNP approach) !
Do take note:

Good news, but what kind of equipment is required to fly an RNP approach? I don’t think the average GA WAAS GPS will do it, right?
GNS430, 530, G1000 (without WAAS) at least can do LNAV approach which is OK. All WAAS enabled devices can to that or better.
BTW EDAY is friendly, not expensive and well connected with Berlin.

You don’t even need SBAS (WAAS). Any approach-approved GPS till do.
Possibly you are confusing an RNP approach with an RNAV(RNP) approach. The latter is old terminology for what is now called an RNP AR (Authorisation required) approach.
