About Kleine Brogel Air Base
Kleine Brogel Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the BE AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Kleine Brogel Air Base is a medium-sized military airport located in Belgium, situated at an elevation of 200 feet MSL. The base features two parallel runways with substantial lengths: 05L/23R at 10,158 feet and 05R/23L at 7,874 feet, both constructed with Permanent Engineered Material (PEM) surfaces. Its strategic location and robust infrastructure support military aviation operations in the region.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Kleine Brogel demonstrate significant variability, with VFR conditions predominating at 58.4% of observations. Pilots can expect prevailing southwest winds at an average of 7.3 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 22 knots. Temperature ranges from -8°C to 28°C, creating diverse operational environments throughout the year, with September, October, and January offering the most favorable VFR conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's dual parallel runways offer operational flexibility with identical favorable wind alignments and consistent low average crosswind conditions of 2.7 knots. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind orientation, which provides pilots with reliable approach options. The airport's elevation of 200 feet MSL indicates a relatively flat terrain characteristic of the Belgian landscape.
Approach Considerations
Given the consistent southwest wind pattern (225°), pilots should anticipate approaches along the 05/23 runway axes. Both runways offer excellent wind coverage, with minimal crosswind interference. The extensive runway lengths (10,158 and 7,874 feet) provide substantial margins for various aircraft types, while the PEM surfaces ensure reliable ground handling across different meteorological conditions.
