Runway at a Glance

Arrival Volume

3 landings observed on Runway SE in the last 30 days, alongside 2 departures.

Limited Traffic Observed

SkyMeter has observed very few flights using Runway SE in the last 30 days. Statistical breakdowns (go-around rate, crosswind averages) need more observations to be meaningful.

Peak Hour

Busiest landing window observed at 18:00 with 4 arrivals on the recent sample.

Light Crosswind Component

Average crosswind on landing is 2.4 kt at touchdown, measured against runway SE alignment.

Landing Behavior and Touchdown Performance

The metrics below are computed from ADS-B trace data observed at Runway SE over the last 30 days. Each value is shown only when at least 10 valid samples were available; sparse cells are hidden rather than estimated.

Approach Types and Categories

Aircraft approach runways using different procedures based on weather conditions, visibility, and available navigation equipment. An Instrument Landing System (ILS) approach provides precision horizontal and vertical guidance using ground-based radio signals, enabling aircraft to land in low visibility conditions. Visual approaches require pilots to maintain visual contact with the runway and surrounding terrain, typically used during clear weather. Area Navigation (RNAV) approaches use GPS technology to guide aircraft along specific flight paths.

Approach Categories Explained

Category (CAT) classifications define minimum visibility and decision height requirements for instrument approaches. Higher categories enable operations in lower visibility conditions.

CAT I
Decision Height: 200 ft
Visibility: 550m
CAT II
Decision Height: 100 ft
Visibility: 300m
CAT III
Decision Height: 0-50 ft
Visibility: 0-200m
Visual
Clear of Clouds
Visibility: 5 km

Wind and Environmental Factors

Wind conditions directly impact runway operations, influencing approach difficulty, landing performance, and runway selection. Runway SE benefits from favorable wind alignment, with prevailing winds creating minimal crosswind components for most operations. Average wind speeds of 12 knots pose no operational constraints for commercial aircraft.
