About Linköping City Airport
Overview
Linköping City Airport serves as a medium-sized airport located in southeastern Sweden, situated at 58.406200N, 15.680500E with an elevation of 172 feet MSL. The airport supports regional aviation operations with its single runway 11/29, which measures 7,004 feet and is constructed of asphalt pavement.
Flying Conditions
Weather observations indicate predominantly visual flight conditions, with 57.7% VFR days and 23.8% marginal VFR conditions. Seasonal temperature ranges from -13°C to 22°C, with an average of 4.9°C. Wind patterns are primarily southerly at 180 degrees, averaging 7.5 knots with occasional gusts up to 25 knots, and calm conditions occurring 1.6% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway (11/29) demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with favorable wind conditions present 100% of the time. Average crosswind components are relatively moderate at 4.8 knots, which provides consistent operational flexibility. The airport's modest elevation of 172 feet MSL suggests minimal terrain challenges for approaching aircraft.
Approach Considerations
September through November represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for operations. With an average visibility of 10 statute miles and minimal fog occurrence (1.4%), pilots can expect generally reliable visual approach conditions. Runway 11/29 offers predictable wind characteristics, making it suitable for most general aviation and regional aircraft operations.
