About Poprad-Tatry Airport
Overview
Poprad-Tatry Airport serves the High Tatras region in Slovakia, situated at an elevation of 2,356 feet MSL near the city of Poprad. As a medium-sized airport, it provides critical aviation infrastructure in this mountainous area of central Europe, supporting regional and potentially international flight operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Poprad-Tatry are predominantly VFR, with 67.8% of observations showing good visual flight conditions. Pilots can expect significant variability, with MVFR and IFR conditions present 26.4% of the time. Prevailing westerly winds average 7.8 knots, with temperature ranges from -16°C to 26°C creating diverse atmospheric conditions throughout the year.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway 09/27 extends 8,530 feet and is constructed of concrete, accommodating medium-sized aircraft operations. Its high elevation and proximity to mountainous terrain require careful navigation and awareness of potential wind and terrain interactions. The surrounding geography of the High Tatras presents unique meteorological and topographical challenges for pilots.
Approach Considerations
Runway 09/27 offers favorable wind conditions 100% of the time, with an average crosswind of only 2.8 knots. Optimal VFR months include October, September, and January, providing more predictable flying conditions. Pilots should be prepared for potential fog (13.3% occurrence) and variable visibility, with an average of 10 statute miles but potential for reduced visual references.
