About Câmpia Turzii Air Base
Câmpia Turzii 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
Câmpia Turzii Air Base (LRCT) is a medium-sized airport located in central Romania, situated at an elevation of 1083 ft MSL near the city of Câmpia Turzii. The airport features a single concrete runway (15/33) extending 8,202 feet, capable of supporting military and potentially civil aviation operations in the region.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect varied weather conditions throughout the year, with VFR conditions predominating at 53.8% of observed periods. The airport experiences significant seasonal temperature variations, ranging from -19°C to 28°C, with an average temperature of 4.4°C. Wind patterns are predominantly northwest (315°), averaging 4.7 knots with occasional gusts up to 25 knots.
Notable Features
The airport's geographical location in central Romania presents a relatively stable terrain environment. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with occasional fog events occurring 9% of the time. Pilots should be aware of potential reduced visibility during winter and early spring months, which correlate with the higher percentage of MVFR (18.1%) and IFR (10.7%) conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 15/33 offers highly favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and a low average crosswind of 2.1 knots. September, October, and November represent the most consistent VFR flying months, providing optimal approach and departure conditions. Pilots should anticipate calm wind conditions less than 0.5% of the time and prepare for potential wind variations.
