About Skive Airport

Overview

Skive Airport serves the Central Denmark Region, located in the western part of Denmark near the city of Skive. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 74 feet above mean sea level, it provides important regional aviation infrastructure for general aviation and smaller commercial operations in the area.

Flying Conditions

The airport's moderate elevation and coastal location suggest variable weather conditions typical of Danish maritime climates. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts and seasonal temperature variations that could impact aircraft performance, particularly during approach and takeoff on the 3,933-foot asphalt runway.

Notable Features

The single runway (14/32) is oriented to accommodate prevailing wind directions in the region. Its asphalt surface and substantial length of 3,933 feet make it suitable for most general aviation aircraft and smaller regional transportation needs.

Approach Considerations

Runway 14/32 provides flexibility for landing and departing based on current wind conditions. The airport's geographic position at coordinates 56.550201, 9.172980 indicates a relatively flat surrounding terrain, which should provide relatively straightforward approach and departure paths for qualified pilots familiar with regional Danish aviation procedures.
