LIPU - N45° 23.8', E011° 50.9
About 3 km South-West from the center of Padova, between the Bacchiglione riverbanks, the beltway and a small inhabited area one can recognize the airport named today in memory of Lieutenant pilot Girolamo Allegri.
The airfield lies at 13 m (44 ft) above sea level, it consists of a passengers terminal and two runways: the main one is 1.122 m long and 30 m wide, paved in asphalt, equipped with a low intensity night lighting (LIRL) and PAPI landing aid systems; the grass runway measures 617×30 m and is parallel to the first one.
All activities follow the IFR/VFR and the airport is open to General Aiation traffic. Classified as “city airport”, this ground is one of the few that are embedded in the surrounding residential city.
note: for more aeronautical informarion and technical aspects, see AIP and latest NOTAM published by ENAV.

The CTA of Padova consists of 26 zones classified as “D”, grouped in sectors. The most recent amendment was the resizing of Venice CTR and the transition of all air traffic (previously provided by Venice APP) to Padova ACC (Padova Radar frequences).
The conseguence of all this was the modification of lateral boundaries of zones 9 “Veneto”, 11 “Comacchio” and 12 “Adriatico Nord”, together with the vertical boundaries of zone 22 “Bibione”. The air space once belonging to the CTR of Venice has been partially merged into the new zone of Padova CTA: 24 “Venezia”, 25 “Venezia SW” and 26 “Delta”.
The responsible ATS body for the entire CTA of Padova is Padova ACC (radio call: Padova Radar 120.725 MHz or 134.750 MHz). However, authorizations to enter the CTA by all VFR traffic must be requested to Padova FIC on frequencies 124.150 MHz and 126.425 MHz. It is noted that frequency 118.900 MHz is available for the approaching traffic control of Venice and frequency 119.175 MHz for that of Ronchi.

request for a PPR (Prior Permission Required)
The Prior Permission Required is a requirement for pilots and operators, often mandatory, necessary to obtain an explicit authorization from the competent authorities before condicting specific aviation activities, for instance the landing at certain airports or the use of restricted air spaces.
Among the basic regulatory mechanisms in the aviation sector, the PPR governs the access to designated air spaces and airports, thus contributing to safety and an efficient management of all flight operations. All involved operators must give priority to the compliance with such requirements, hence promoting adeguate planning, communication, and optimize the operative result.
