About Kalmar Airport
Overview
Kalmar Airport serves southeastern Sweden, located near the coastal city of Kalmar. As a medium-sized airport with two runways, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for the region. The airport's elevation of 17 feet MSL and strategic coastal positioning make it an important transportation hub for southeastern Sweden.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Kalmar Airport demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) prevailing 54.4% of the time. Pilots can expect moderate weather challenges, with Marginal VFR and Instrument Flight Rules conditions occurring in nearly 45% of observations. The prevailing southerly winds at an average of 7.2 knots, with occasional gusts up to 25 knots, suggest pilots should be prepared for potential wind-related considerations.
Notable Features
The airport features two asphalt runways with different orientations, providing flexibility for various wind conditions. Runway 16/34 is significantly longer at 6,726 feet compared to Runway 05/23 at 2,179 feet, offering more options for different aircraft types. Temperature variations range extensively from -19°C to 24°C, indicating potential seasonal operational challenges.
Approach Considerations
Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind components of 4.7 knots for Runway 05/23 and 4.1 knots for Runway 16/34. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with minimal occurrences of restricted visibility. Pilots should note September through November offer the most consistent VFR conditions for operations.
