About Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport
Overview
Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport serves the St. Gallen region in northeastern Switzerland, positioned at an elevation of 1,306 feet MSL. The airport features two runways: a 4,774-foot paved runway (10/28) and a 2,657-foot grass runway (10G/28G), supporting various general aviation and regional operations in the area.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at LSZR demonstrate significant variability, with VFR conditions predominating at 53% of observations. Pilots can expect moderate wind conditions, with a prevailing westerly wind at an average of 4.7 knots and occasional gusts up to 29 knots. Temperature ranges from -12°C to 26°C, with an average of 6°C, suggesting potential for significant seasonal temperature fluctuations.
Notable Features
The airport's dual runway configuration, including both paved and grass surfaces, offers operational flexibility for different aircraft types. Both runways show 100% favorable wind alignment and minimal average crosswind of 1.9 knots. The airport experiences fog in approximately 9% of observations, which pilots should consider during planning.
Approach Considerations
September through November represent the most consistent VFR flying months, offering optimal visual conditions. Runway selection can be straightforward due to the consistent wind patterns, with both 10/28 and 10G/28G having identical favorable wind characteristics. Pilots should be prepared for potential reduced visibility, particularly during the 12.4% of observations under LIFR conditions.
