About Feteşti Borcea Air Base

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

Overview

Feteşti Borcea Air Base is a medium-sized airport located in Borcea, Romania, with an ICAO code of LR80. Situated at an elevation of 180 feet above mean sea level, the airport is positioned at coordinates 44.392300, 27.726700 in the southeastern part of the country. The base is primarily designed to support military and potentially civilian aviation operations in the region.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 180 ft MSL suggests a relatively low-lying terrain with moderate atmospheric conditions typical of southeastern Romania. Pilots can expect regional climate variations that may impact flight operations, with potential wind shifts and seasonal temperature changes. The concrete runway (18/36) spanning 8,202 feet provides a substantial landing surface suitable for various aircraft types.

Notable Features

Feteşti Borcea Air Base features a single runway oriented at 18/36, which indicates a north-south alignment. The concrete runway's significant length of 8,202 feet accommodates a wide range of aircraft categories and provides flexibility for different operational requirements. The airport's geographical location near the Borcea region suggests potential proximity to the Danube River, which could influence local meteorological conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 18/36's substantial length and concrete construction offer pilots a robust landing surface with good potential for all-weather operations. The north-south orientation suggests that approaches will typically align with this heading, with wind conditions potentially favoring either end depending on prevailing atmospheric patterns. Pilots should prepare standard navigation procedures considering the airport's specific geographical and elevation characteristics.
