About Guidonia Air Base
Guidonia Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the IT AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Guidonia Air Base (LIRG) is a medium-sized airport located near Rome, Italy, serving military and potentially civilian aviation operations. Situated at an elevation of 289 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides strategic access to the central Italian region.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 92.1% of observations showing clear weather suitable for visual flight. Temperature ranges from -3°C to 32°C, with an average of 15.9°C, suggesting significant seasonal variation that pilots should consider during flight planning. September, October, and December represent the most consistent VFR months.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: a 3,937-foot grass runway (04/22) and a 4,797-foot asphalt runway (18/36). Its proximity to Rome and strategic location in central Italy likely makes it significant for regional military and potentially training aviation operations. The terrain around the airport appears relatively flat, based on the moderate elevation.
Approach Considerations
With calm wind conditions reported in 100% of observations, runway selection becomes more flexible for arrivals and departures. Pilots should be prepared for the two different runway surfaces - grass and asphalt - which may require different landing and takeoff techniques. The longer asphalt runway (18/36) provides more options for larger aircraft and potentially more challenging wind conditions.
