The airport sits at an elevation of 628 feet above mean sea level, positioned at coordinates 36.816502, 11.968900.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences predominantly favorable visual flying conditions, with 78.4% of observations reporting VFR conditions. Wind patterns are consistently from the south (180°) at an average of 9.6 knots, with occasional stronger gusts up to 38 knots. Temperature ranges from 7°C to 32°C, with an average of 17°C, offering generally stable flying conditions throughout the year.

Notable Features

Both runways (02/20 and 07/25) demonstrate 100% favorable wind coverage, with modest average crosswind components of 6.2 and 6.8 knots respectively. The airport's geographical position in the Mediterranean creates unique wind and visibility characteristics, with consistently good visibility averaging 10 statute miles and minimal fog occurrence (0.1% of observations).

Approach Considerations
