About Stavanger Airport, Sola

Overview

Stavanger Airport, Sola serves as a critical transportation hub for southwestern Norway, located near the city of Stavanger. Positioned at 29 feet above mean sea level, the airport is a large-scale facility supporting regional and international air traffic. Its strategic coastal location makes it an important gateway for both commercial and potential offshore operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's coastal location at 58.876701, 5.637780 typically experiences maritime weather patterns characteristic of western Norway, with potential for variable wind conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential low visibility and precipitation, especially during autumn and winter months. The two substantial asphalt runways (10/28 at 8,035 ft and 18/36 at 9,369 ft) provide robust options for handling diverse meteorological conditions.

Notable Features

Stavanger Airport, Sola features two parallel runways with significant length, enabling operations for a wide range of aircraft types. The airport's low elevation of 29 ft MSL minimizes altitude-related approach complexities. Its geographical position near the North Sea suggests potential for challenging wind interactions and maritime meteorological influences.

Approach Considerations

Given the airport's dual runway configuration, pilots have flexibility in approach and landing based on prevailing wind conditions. The extensive runway lengths (over 8,000 and 9,000 feet) provide substantial margins for safe operations across various aircraft categories. Crosswind considerations will be significant due to the airport's coastal positioning, potentially requiring precise wind assessment during approach.
