About Parma Airport

Overview

Parma Airport serves the Emilia-Romagna region in northern Italy, located near the city of Parma at an elevation of 161 feet MSL. As a medium-sized airport with a 6,962-foot asphalted runway, it supports general aviation, potential regional commercial operations, and serves the transportation needs of the Parma metropolitan area.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Parma Airport demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions prevailing in 47.8% of observations. Pilots can expect predominantly westerly winds averaging 4.7 knots, with temperature ranges spanning from -6°C to 29°C. Seasonal data indicates September through November offer the most consistently favorable VFR flying conditions.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway (02/20) experiences highly favorable wind alignments, with wind conditions supporting runway orientation in 100% of observations. Crosswind components average a modest 3.3 knots, providing relatively comfortable landing and takeoff conditions. The airport's moderate elevation and geographic location in the Po Valley suggest generally mild terrain challenges.

Approach Considerations

Approach planning should account for the airport's westerly wind patterns, which strongly favor runway 02/20. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of restricted visibility (fog present in only 7% of observations). Pilots should be prepared for potential Marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions, which occur in approximately 22.4% of recorded observations.
