About Mannheim-City Airport

Overview

Mannheim-City Airport serves as a medium-sized airport located in southwestern Germany, situated near the city of Mannheim at an elevation of 308 feet mean sea level. The airport features two runways: a primary asphalt runway (09/27) measuring 3,497 feet and a secondary grass runway (09L/27R) of 2,297 feet. Its strategic location provides important general aviation and regional transportation infrastructure for the Baden-Württemberg region.

Flying Conditions

Weather observations indicate predominantly favorable flying conditions, with 64.8% of METAR reports showing VFR conditions. The airport experiences moderate wind patterns with a prevailing southerly wind at 180° and an average speed of 5.1 knots. Temperature ranges are significant, spanning from -11°C to 31°C, which pilots should consider for performance calculations. September, October, and December historically offer the most consistent VFR weather conditions.

Notable Features

The dual-runway configuration provides operational flexibility, with both runways showing 100% favorable wind alignment. The airport's terrain is relatively flat, with both runways having similar crosswind characteristics averaging 4.2 knots. Located at coordinates 49.473057, 8.514167, the airport benefits from generally good visibility, with an average of 10 statute miles and minimal fog occurrence (1.9% of observations).

Approach Considerations

Pilots can expect consistent runway accessibility due to the airport's wind patterns. Both runways (09/27 and 09L/27R) demonstrate excellent wind compatibility, suggesting predictable approach conditions. The relatively long primary runway (3,497 feet) provides adequate landing distance for most general aviation aircraft. Seasonal temperature variations should be carefully considered when planning performance-critical operations.
