About Kecskemét Air Base
Kecskemét Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the HU AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Kecskemét Air Base (LHKE) is a medium-sized airport located in central Hungary, situated near the city of Kecskemét at an elevation of 376 feet MSL. The airport features a single concrete runway (12/30) measuring 8,200 feet in length, capable of supporting various military and civilian aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Kecskemét demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) predominating at 56.4% of observations. Pilots should anticipate challenging conditions during the 31.9% of time classified as IFR or Low IFR, particularly during winter months. The prevailing westerly winds average 6 knots, with occasional gusts up to 30 knots, and temperatures ranging from -13°C to 31°C.
Notable Features
The airport's geographic location in the Hungarian Great Plain provides relatively flat terrain with consistent wind patterns. Westerly winds (270°) are most common, with calm conditions occurring 4.2% of the time. The runway experiences favorable wind alignment 100% of the time, with an average crosswind component of just 3.2 knots.
Approach Considerations
September through November offer the most consistent VFR conditions for arrivals and departures. Visibility typically remains excellent at an average of 10 statute miles, though fog can be present 23.1% of the time. Pilots should be prepared for potential low visibility periods, particularly during winter months when LIFR conditions are most frequent.
