Ljungbyhed Airfield lies in Skåne County in southern Sweden, a former Swedish Air Force flying training base whose long paved runway and control tower still dominate the flat countryside near Klippan. For the simulator pilot it offers a substantial hard-surfaced strip with lighting and an ILS, paired with a shorter parallel runway, making it a useful and historically interesting VFR or instrument destination in southern Scandinavia.
Ljungbyhed Airfield (ICAO ESTL) is a medium-sized aerodrome at Ljungbyhed in Skåne County, southern Sweden. It was long associated with Swedish Air Force pilot training and retains a substantial hard runway, an ILS approach and full runway lighting, giving it a character quite different from the area's smaller grass strips. For a simulator pilot it is an interesting field to fly into, combining an instrument approach with a compact, historic military-flying-training layout.
Ljungbyhed sits in the flat farmland of Skåne County, in southern Sweden, roughly nine kilometres south-east of the town of Klippan. The field is positioned at approximately 56.085 N, 13.207 E, at an elevation of 128 feet, and pilots approaching from the surrounding Skåne lowlands will find it a prominent hard-surfaced field amid otherwise mostly agricultural terrain.
Ljungbyhed has two physical hard-surfaced runways, both lit. The main runway, 11L/29R, is 6539 feet long on the 11L threshold and 6536 feet on the 29R threshold, giving a runway of roughly 6500 feet suitable for a wide range of aircraft. A shorter parallel runway, 11/29, measures 2620 feet in each direction. An ILS approach is available at the field.
Ljungbyhed provides an approach frequency on 129.555 MHz, an ATIS broadcast on 132.75 MHz, ground movement on 121.65 MHz, and tower on 130.705 MHz. The field is equipped with an ILS, allowing instrument approaches to be flown to the main runway.
