Lielvarde Air Base (EVGA) is located in Lielvarde, LV at an elevation of 200 feet MSL. The airport has 1 runway (18/36), with the longest at 8,202 feet.
Weather Profile
With VFR conditions only 50% of the time based on 7,737 observations, EVGA requires careful weather planning. IFR conditions occur in 30.5% of reports, and instrument proficiency is advisable for regular operations here.
Wind Patterns & Runway Selection
Prevailing winds at EVGA come from the S (180°) with an average speed of 7 knots. Calm winds are rare (1.9%), so crosswind considerations are a regular factor. Runway 18/36 offers the lowest average crosswind component at 3.9 knots, making it the preferred choice in typical wind conditions.
Seasonal Considerations
The best months for VFR operations are September, October, February, when clear skies are most prevalent. Temperatures at the field range from -27°C (-17°F) to 25°C (77°F), averaging 0.5°C (33°F). Cold weather operations require attention to aircraft preheating, de-icing, and cold-soaked fuel management. Altimeter settings typically range from 9.88 to 10.37 inHg (335-351 hPa).
