About Friedrichshafen Airport

Overview

Friedrichshafen Airport serves the Baden-Württemberg region in southern Germany, located near Lake Constance (Bodensee). As a medium-sized airport at 1367 feet MSL, it provides critical regional aviation infrastructure supporting both general aviation and commercial operations in this strategically positioned area bordering Switzerland and Austria.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Friedrichshafen demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) predominating at 54.4% of observations. Temperature ranges from -14°C to 27°C, creating diverse flying environments throughout the year. Pilots should note that October, September, and November offer the most consistent VFR conditions, with average visibility around 10 statute miles and minimal fog occurrence (5% of observations).

Notable Features

The airport's single runway (06/24) spans 7,729 feet with an asphalt surface, oriented to capitalize on prevailing northeast winds at 45 degrees. The surrounding terrain likely includes complex lake and mountain influences typical of the Alpine foreland, which can generate localized wind and visibility variations. Crosswinds average just 2 knots, with wind speeds typically ranging between calm and 26 knots.

Approach Considerations

Runway 06/24 demonstrates exceptional wind alignment, with favorable wind conditions present 100% of the time. Pilots can expect generally stable approach conditions, particularly during autumn months. The low average crosswind and consistent wind direction provide predictable landing parameters, though standard terrain and regional weather awareness remain critical for safe operations.
