Náměšť Air Base

Náměšť Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the CZ AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.

Overview

Náměšť Air Base is a medium-sized airport located in Sedlec, Czech Republic, situated at an elevation of 1,548 feet MSL. The airport serves military and potentially civilian aviation operations in the southeastern region of the country. Its single runway 12/30 extends 7,874 feet and is constructed of concrete.

Flying Conditions

Weather observations reveal a complex flight environment with significant variability in visibility and flight rules. VFR conditions prevail 50.2% of the time, while LIFR conditions occur in 29.6% of observations, indicating potential challenging approach scenarios. Temperature ranges from -13°C to 27°C, with an average of 5.2°C, suggesting notable seasonal temperature fluctuations.

Notable Features

The airport experiences predominantly southeastern winds (135°) with an average speed of 8.1 knots and occasional gusts up to 26 knots. Fog is present in 29.8% of observations, which can significantly impact visibility. The calm wind condition occurs only 1% of the time, suggesting consistent atmospheric movement in the region.

Approach Considerations

Runway 12/30 demonstrates favorable wind conditions, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of just 3.3 knots. September, October, and January emerge as the most consistently favorable VFR months for operations. Pilots should anticipate potential low visibility scenarios, particularly during periods with high fog probability.
