As a medium-sized airport situated at 139 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region's transportation needs. The airport supports various aviation activities with its primary runway configuration.

Flying Conditions

Located in southern Sweden, Eskilstuna Airport experiences typical Nordic maritime and continental climate influences that can create variable flying conditions throughout the year. Pilots should anticipate potential rapid weather shifts due to the airport's geographic positioning. The airport's elevation of 139 ft MSL suggests relatively moderate terrain considerations for approach and landing.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (18/36) with an asphalt surface measuring 6,187 feet in length. Its orientation allows for approaches from both north and south, providing operational flexibility based on prevailing wind conditions. The moderate runway length accommodates a range of aircraft types and supports general aviation, potentially including regional commercial and private aircraft operations.

Approach Considerations

Runway 18/36's substantial 6,187-foot length provides pilots with significant landing and takeoff margin. The runway's north-south orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations, particularly during seasonal weather transitions. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments during pre-flight planning, noting the airport's moderate elevation and geographic context.
