About Madrid-Cuatro Vientos Airport

Overview

Madrid-Cuatro Vientos Airport serves as an important medium-sized airport located in the Madrid metropolitan area. Situated at an elevation of 2,269 feet MSL, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Spanish capital region. Its two runways accommodate various general aviation and training operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation at 2,269 feet MSL indicates a moderately high terrain environment that can impact aircraft performance. Madrid's continental climate suggests significant temperature variations between summer and winter, which pilots should consider during flight planning. The airport's location near 40.370701, -3.785140 experiences typical central Spanish weather patterns with potential thermal and wind variations.

Notable Features

Cuatro Vientos Airport features two distinct runways: a 4,921-foot asphalted runway (09/27) and a 2,698-foot grass runway (09L/27R). The presence of a grass runway suggests the airport likely supports training operations, light aircraft, and potentially recreational aviation activities. The dual runway configuration provides operational flexibility depending on wind conditions and aircraft type.

Approach Considerations

Pilots should be prepared for potential crosswind scenarios given the airport's runway orientation of 09/27. The variation in runway surfaces between asphalt and grass requires careful consideration of aircraft type and current meteorological conditions. Approach planning should account for the airport's elevation and potential terrain-related wind behavior typical of the Madrid region.
