About Kiel-Holtenau Airport
Overview
Kiel-Holtenau Airport serves the northern German city of Kiel, located in Schleswig-Holstein near the Baltic Sea coast. Positioned at 102 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region with two runways supporting both aviation and regional transportation needs.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions 55.5% of the time, with marginal VFR weather occurring 24% of observations. The region experiences significant seasonal temperature variation, ranging from -8°C to 26°C, with an average temperature of 7.1°C. September, October, and November statistically offer the most favorable VFR flying conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: a 4,134-foot asphalt primary runway (08/26) and a 1,476-foot grass secondary runway (08L/26R). Prevailing winds consistently come from the southwest at 225 degrees, with an average speed of 8.3 knots and maximum recorded speeds of 25 knots. Wind conditions demonstrate minimal calm periods, with only 0.1% of observations showing no wind movement.
Approach Considerations
Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with an average crosswind component of 4.5 knots. Visibility typically remains excellent, averaging 10 statute miles with extremely rare instances of reduced visibility (below 3 miles). Pilots can expect minimal fog interference, with fog present in only 0.9% of observations.
