Sankt Johann Airfield (LOIJ) is a small recreational aerodrome in the Tyrolean Alps, lying about a kilometre east of the town of Sankt Johann in Tirol, Austria. It offers a hard-surfaced main runway alongside a shorter grass strip, set within dramatic mountain scenery that makes it a popular target for VFR and general aviation flying in the region.
Sankt Johann Airfield is a recreational aerodrome serving the town of Sankt Johann in Tirol in the Austrian state of Tyrol. It sits at a field elevation of 2192 ft amid the mountains of the Kitzbühel area, and its combination of a lit hard runway and an additional grass strip makes it a characterful destination for general aviation pilots exploring the Alps.
The airfield lies in Tyrol, Austria, about one kilometre east of the centre of Sankt Johann in Tirol. Its coordinates are 47.5206N, 12.4494E, and it sits at an elevation of 2192 ft amid mountainous alpine terrain. The field is close to the German border and within reach of other alpine airfields such as Zell am See (LOWZ), which lies roughly 35 km away.
The airfield has two physical runways. The main runway, 13/31, is a hard surface measuring approximately 2445 ft in one direction and 2351 ft in the other, and it is lit. A second, shorter runway, 13R/31L, is grass and measures approximately 659 to 660 ft, without lighting. Pilots should note the shorter grass runway's limited length when planning approaches in a mountain environment.
The common frequency for the airfield is 120.35 MHz, used as a CTAF (common traffic advisory frequency) for pilots to make position and intention calls. There is no ILS or other instrument approach aid at the field, so operations are conducted visually.
Sankt Johann Airfield is a recreational aerodrome with no significant documented aviation history beyond its role serving the town of Sankt Johann in Tirol.
The airfield continues to operate as a recreational general aviation field serving Sankt Johann in Tirol. It has been modelled as payware scenery for Microsoft Flight Simulator by Gaya Simulations, distributed via Orbx, and is often paired with the nearby Zell am See (LOWZ) scenery as a set of Austrian Alps general aviation airfields for simulator pilots.
