About Warsaw Chopin Airport
Overview
Warsaw Chopin Airport serves as Poland's primary international aviation gateway, located in the capital city at 52.165699N, 20.967100E. As a large airport situated at 362 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical infrastructure for both commercial passenger and cargo operations in Central Europe.
Flying Conditions
Warsaw's airport experiences variable weather conditions typical of a continental climate, with potential significant seasonal temperature variations affecting aircraft performance. The airport's elevation at 362 ft MSL and geographic position suggest potential wind shifts and moderate atmospheric stability throughout the year.
Notable Features
The airport features two substantial asphalt runways: Runway 11/29 measuring 9,186 feet and Runway 15/33 extending 12,106 feet. These extensive runway lengths provide operational flexibility for a wide range of aircraft types, from regional commuters to large wide-body international carriers.
Approach Considerations
Runway selection will likely depend on prevailing wind conditions, with the longer 15/33 runway offering enhanced operational capabilities for heavier aircraft. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind scenarios given the airport's two perpendicular runway configurations, which provide multiple approach options based on meteorological conditions.
