Tomaszów Mazowiecki Military Air Base

Tomaszów Mazowiecki 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

Tomaszów Mazowiecki Military Air Base is a medium-sized military airport situated in central Poland, located near the town of Nowy Glinnik. Positioned at an elevation of 571 feet above mean sea level, the base serves military aviation operations in the Mazovian region. Its strategic location provides critical infrastructure for Polish military aerial activities.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation at 571 feet suggests a relatively modest terrain environment with potential for varied meteorological conditions typical of central Poland. Given its inland location, pilots can expect significant seasonal temperature variations that could impact aircraft performance. Wind patterns and visibility will be influenced by the regional topography and proximity to local geographic features.

Notable Features

Tomaszów Mazowiecki features a single runway (11/29) with an impressive length of 6,560 feet constructed of asphalt surface. The runway's orientation suggests it can accommodate medium to large military aircraft and provides flexibility for different approach and departure vectors. Its substantial length allows for operations with various aircraft types under different loading and weather conditions.

Approach Considerations

The runway's 11/29 orientation indicates potential crosswind challenges depending on prevailing wind directions. Pilots should be prepared for potential wind shear or turbulence considerations given the airport's geographic context. Standard military approach protocols will apply, with careful attention to terrain and local atmospheric conditions during arrival and departure sequences.
