Positioned at an elevation of 72 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides aviation infrastructure for the eastern Helsinki metropolitan area. Its single runway (15/33) offers 3,280 feet of asphalt surface for aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's moderate elevation and location in southern Finland typically experiences maritime-influenced weather patterns with potential seasonal variability. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts given the runway's 15/33 orientation, which runs approximately northwest-southeast. The relatively low elevation of 72 feet suggests minimal terrain-induced turbulence or significant altitude-related performance considerations.

Notable Features

The airport's geographical positioning near Helsinki offers accessibility to the broader regional transportation network. Its moderate runway length of 3,280 feet accommodates a range of aircraft categories typical of regional and general aviation operations.

Approach Considerations

Approach considerations should focus on the runway's 15/33 alignment, which allows flexibility depending on prevailing wind conditions. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and obstacle assessments during approach, keeping in mind the airport's relatively low elevation of 72 feet. Standard instrument approach procedures and visual navigation techniques are recommended for safe arrival and departure.
