About Palermo-Boccadifalco Airport

Overview

Palermo-Boccadifalco Airport serves the metropolitan area of Palermo, Sicily, located at coordinates 38.110802, 13.313300. Situated at an elevation of 345 feet mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region, supporting various operational needs in southern Italy.

Flying Conditions

Sicily's Mediterranean climate influences the airport's weather patterns, with potential significant seasonal wind variations. The airport's moderate elevation of 345 ft MSL suggests relatively stable atmospheric conditions, though pilots should anticipate local terrain effects that can impact wind behavior around the single runway.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (17/35) with an asphalt surface measuring 4,016 feet in length. Its location near Palermo suggests potential urban terrain interactions and the likelihood of complex local wind patterns that pilots must carefully assess during approach and departure phases.

Approach Considerations

Runway 17/35's orientation indicates potential crosswind scenarios depending on prevailing wind directions. Pilots should prepare for potential terrain-induced wind shifts and carefully review current meteorological conditions, particularly when operating an aircraft near the airport's published runway length limitations.
