About Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport
Overview
Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport is Italy's primary international gateway, serving the capital city of Rome. Located at coordinates 41.804532, 12.251998 with an elevation of 13 ft MSL, this large airport is a critical hub for international and domestic air traffic. The airport features four substantial runways, enabling high-capacity operations for commercial and cargo aircraft.
Flying Conditions
Situated near the Mediterranean coast, the airport experiences moderate weather conditions typical of central Italy. Its low elevation at 13 ft MSL provides consistent atmospheric conditions with minimal altitude-related performance considerations. The four parallel runways (16L/34R and 16R/34L at 12,801 ft, and 16C/34C at 11,818 ft, along with 07/25 at 10,849 ft) offer multiple approach and departure options to accommodate varying wind conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's four asphalt runways provide significant operational flexibility for different aircraft types and sizes. Its proximity to Rome ensures complex airspace interactions with multiple regional air traffic control sectors. The extended runway lengths, particularly the 16L/34R and 16R/34L at 12,801 ft, can accommodate wide-body international aircraft and provide substantial landing/takeoff margins.
Approach Considerations
Runway selection typically depends on prevailing wind directions, with the parallel 16/34 runways offering primary approach vectors. The substantial runway lengths across all four runways provide pilots with multiple options for safe landings and departures. Pilots should anticipate potential maritime influence given the airport's coastal proximity and prepare for potential wind shear or coastal meteorological variations.
