About Powidz Military Air Base

Powidz 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

Powidz Military Air Base (EPPW) is a medium-sized military airport located in west-central Poland, situated at 52.380087, 17.853155. The base sits at an elevation of 371 feet above mean sea level and features two substantial concrete runways capable of supporting significant military aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

Central Polish terrain typically presents mild continental weather patterns with potential seasonal variations. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind conditions given the airport's geographic location, with the dual parallel runways (10L/28R and 10R/28L) providing operational flexibility across different wind directions.

Notable Features

The airport boasts two extensive runways: 10L/28R measuring 8,940 feet and 10R/28L extending to 11,565 feet, both constructed of concrete. These long runways suggest the facility is designed to accommodate larger military aircraft and potentially support diverse operational requirements.

Approach Considerations

With two parallel runways oriented approximately 100/280 degrees, pilots have strategic options for approach and landing based on prevailing wind conditions. The substantial runway lengths provide significant margin for safe operations, particularly for heavier military aircraft requiring extended landing surfaces.

Data Sources & Accuracy: Airport information sourced from OurAirports.com, a collaborative database of worldwide airport data. Weather data from official aviation weather services including NOAA Aviation Weather Center and international METAR/TAF providers. Information is updated regularly but pilots should always verify current conditions and NOTAMs through official channels before flight operations.
