Miroslawiec Military Air Base

Miroslawiec Military Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the PL AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.

Overview

Miroslawiec Military Air Base is a medium-sized military airport located in northwestern Poland, situated near the town of Mirosławiec. Located at 53.395100N, 16.082800E, the base sits at an elevation of 459 feet above mean sea level. As a military installation, it primarily serves Polish Air Force operational and training requirements in the region.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 459 ft MSL suggests a relatively low-altitude environment with potential for varied weather conditions typical of northern Poland. Pilots should anticipate potential maritime influences from the nearby Baltic Sea, which can generate rapid weather changes and potential low visibility scenarios. Seasonal variations will likely include cold winters and moderate summers, impacting aircraft performance and approach conditions.

Notable Features

The primary runway 12/30 is a substantial concrete surface measuring 8,202 feet in length, which accommodates a wide range of military aircraft operations. Its significant runway length provides flexibility for various aircraft types and operational profiles, including potential emergency or diversion scenarios. The geographic location in northwestern Poland suggests a relatively flat terrain surrounding the airfield.

Approach Considerations

With a single runway oriented at 12/30, wind direction will be a critical factor in runway selection and approach planning. The lengthy 8,202-foot concrete runway offers substantial landing and takeoff margins for most military aircraft. Pilots should carefully assess local wind patterns and prepare for potential crosswind conditions given the runway's single orientation.
