About Kauhava Airfield
Overview
Kauhava Airfield is a medium airport located in western Finland at 63.127102°N, 23.051399°E, serving the Kauhava region. The airport sits at an elevation of 151 feet above mean sea level, providing an important aviation infrastructure for the local area and regional transportation needs.
Flying Conditions
As a Finnish airfield, Kauhava experiences significant seasonal weather variations typical of Nordic latitudes, with potential challenges during winter months. The airport's relatively low elevation of 151 ft MSL suggests generally stable atmospheric conditions, though pilots should anticipate potential temperature and wind fluctuations consistent with the region's maritime-influenced climate.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (17/35) with a substantial length of 8,858 feet constructed with asphalt surface. Its geographic positioning in western Finland indicates the runway is likely oriented to accommodate prevailing wind patterns and regional terrain characteristics.
Approach Considerations
Runway 17/35's extended length of 8,858 feet provides significant operational flexibility for various aircraft types and approach scenarios. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments, utilizing the runway's full available length and considering the asphalt surface conditions, particularly during seasonal transition periods.
