Leźnica Wielka Air Base

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

Overview

Leźnica Wielka Air Base is a medium-sized airport located in central Poland, situated at coordinates 52.004945, 19.143792. Positioned at an elevation of 404 feet above mean sea level, the airport serves regional aviation needs in the Łódź Voivodeship. Its substantial runway measuring 8,202 feet in length provides significant operational flexibility for various aircraft types.

Flying Conditions

Central Poland's continental climate creates variable flying conditions throughout the year, with potential significant seasonal temperature and wind variations. The airport's elevation at 404 feet MSL provides relatively stable atmospheric conditions compared to higher terrain regions. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind challenges given the single runway orientation of 10/28.

Notable Features

The airport features an asphalt (ASP) runway aligned at 10/28, offering substantial length of 8,202 feet which accommodates medium to large aircraft operations. Its geographic position in central Poland suggests potential interactions with surrounding terrain and local meteorological patterns. The moderate elevation minimizes extreme atmospheric pressure variations that might impact aircraft performance.

Approach Considerations

Runway 10/28's extended length provides multiple approach options and enhanced operational safety margins. Pilots should carefully assess prevailing wind conditions, noting potential crosswind components given the single runway orientation. Standard instrument approach procedures will be applicable, with considerations for the airport's central Polish geographic context and 404-foot elevation.
