About Szolnok Air Base
Szolnok Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the HU AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Szolnok Air Base is a medium-sized airport located in central Hungary, positioned at 47.122897, 20.235500 with an elevation of 322 ft MSL. The facility serves as a strategic military and potentially civilian aviation location in the Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok County region. Its single runway 02/20 spans 6,562 feet and is constructed of asphalt.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences diverse weather conditions with significant variability throughout the year. Visual flight rules (VFR) predominate at 56.6% of observations, while instrument conditions (IFR and LIFR) account for 29.6% of the time. Temperature ranges widely from -17°C to 31°C, with an average of 7.1°C, presenting potential thermal and icing considerations for pilots.
Notable Features
Prevailing winds consistently blow from the northeast at 45 degrees, with an average speed of 6.1 knots and occasional gusts up to 23 knots. The wind profile shows calm conditions only 3.6% of the time, indicating relatively consistent atmospheric movement. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with fog present in 19.8% of observations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 02/20 demonstrates highly favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of just 3.7 knots. September, October, and November represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for operations. Pilots should anticipate potential instrument conditions during non-peak months and prepare accordingly with appropriate flight planning.
