About Valencia Airport

Overview

Valencia Airport serves the metropolitan area of Valencia, located on Spain's eastern coast. As a large airport with two substantial runways (04/22 at 5,394 ft and 12/30 at 8,858 ft), it supports significant commercial and potentially military aviation operations. The airport sits at an elevation of 240 feet mean sea level, situated near the coastal region of Valencia.

Flying Conditions

Mediterranean climate influences the airport's weather patterns, typically characterized by mild temperatures and relatively stable conditions. Pilots can expect generally good visibility and moderate wind conditions, though seasonal variations may impact flight operations. The airport's coastal location suggests potential for sea breezes and occasional maritime weather influences.

Notable Features

The airport features two asphalted runways with significant length, providing operational flexibility for different aircraft types. Its geographic position near Valencia offers strategic access to the eastern Spanish coastline, with terrain that transitions from coastal plains to more varied landscape. The airport's coordinates (39.489300, -0.481625) place it in a region with generally predictable meteorological conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 12/30, being the longer runway at 8,858 feet, likely serves as the primary approach for larger aircraft and during more challenging wind conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind scenarios given the airport's coastal location, with runway 04/22 providing an alternative approach heading. Standard instrument approach procedures would be recommended based on prevailing wind and weather conditions.
