Flight Simulator Flights at ESSB Stockholm-Bromma Airport

Stockholm-Bromma Airport (ESSB) is a controlled aerodrome close to the centre of Stockholm, Sweden, with a single paved runway served by full air traffic control and an ILS approach. It is a useful reference point for simulator pilots operating in the Stockholm terminal area, sitting well inside controlled airspace alongside the region's other airports.

Overview

Stockholm-Bromma Airport, ICAO code ESSB, lies in Stockholm, Stockholm County, Sweden, at an elevation of 43 feet. It is a controlled field with a tower, approach and AFIS presence, making it a good study in flying into a busy terminal airspace close to a major city for anyone practising airline or business-aviation operations in the default or add-on Stockholm area.

Airspace & Location

The airport sits at coordinates 59.3544 N, 17.9422 E, within the Stockholm terminal control area. It is served by its own approach control frequency, indicating that traffic is worked within controlled airspace rather than left to self-separate, and pilots should expect to be handled by approach control before being passed to the tower on the final approach into Bromma.

Runways

Bromma has a single physical runway, 12/30, oriented north-west/south-east. It is a hard-surfaced, lit runway with an instrument landing system, measuring approximately 5827 feet (12) to 5829 feet (30) in length, sufficient for regional jet and turboprop operations as well as general aviation and business aircraft.

Radio & Navigation

The airport is served by the following frequencies: AFIS 119.4 MHz, APP (approach) 120.15 MHz, ATIS 122.45 MHz, GND (ground) 121.6 MHz, and TWR (tower) 118.1 MHz. The presence of both a tower and an approach frequency, alongside an ILS on the runway, indicates a fully controlled environment for arriving and departing traffic.
