About Hamburg-Finkenwerder Airport
Overview
Hamburg-Finkenwerder Airport serves the Hamburg metropolitan area as a medium-sized airport situated at 23 feet mean sea level. Located at coordinates 53.535278, 9.835556, the airport primarily supports local aviation operations in northern Germany's maritime region.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions demonstrate significant variability, with VFR conditions predominating at 59.3% of observations. Temperature ranges from -13°C to 27°C, averaging 7°C, while wind patterns consistently favor easterly directions at an average of 7.5 knots with maximum gusts to 26 knots. Pilots can expect excellent visibility averaging 10 statute miles, with minimal fog occurrence at just 1.2% of observations.
Notable Features
The single runway 05/23 extends 8,629 feet and is constructed with a PEM (presumably Pavement Evaluation Method) surface. Wind data indicates near-perfect runway alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and a modest average crosswind of 3.6 knots. September, October, and December represent the most consistently favorable VFR flying months.
Approach Considerations
Runway 05/23 offers predictable wind conditions, making it highly reliable for approach and departure. Pilots should anticipate predominantly easterly winds and prepare for potential variations within the 7.5-knot average range. The low occurrence of low visibility conditions (LIFR at 6.3%) suggests generally stable approach environments.
