About Rothenburg/Görlitz Airfield

Overview

Rothenburg/Görlitz Airfield is a medium-sized airport located in the Oberlausitz region of Germany, situated at an elevation of 518 feet above mean sea level. The airport serves the southeastern part of Germany near the border region, offering infrastructure for general aviation and regional flight operations. Its coordinates at 51.363335, 14.950000 place it in a strategic location for transportation in the area.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation at 518 ft MSL suggests a relatively moderate terrain environment typical of the German lowlands. Located in an inland region, pilots can expect potential seasonal variations in wind and visibility, particularly during winter and transitional seasons. The presence of two runways (one asphalt and one grass) provides operational flexibility under different meteorological conditions.

Notable Features

The airfield features two distinct runways: a primary asphalt runway (18/36) measuring 8,202 feet, and a secondary grass runway (18R/36L) measuring 4,003 feet. This dual-runway configuration offers pilots options for different surface conditions and wind alignments. The surrounding landscape of the Oberlausitz region likely presents varied terrain that could influence local wind patterns and approach characteristics.

Approach Considerations

Runway orientation (18/36) suggests the primary approach will typically align with north-south headings. The substantial length of the main asphalt runway (8,202 feet) provides considerable margin for various aircraft types and operational requirements. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations and be prepared to utilize either the asphalt or grass runway based on current meteorological conditions.
