Airfield information

Kristianstad Airport, ESMK, is a controlled airfield. Official information is found in IAIP.

Airport tower: 129.355 (”Kristianstad Tower”, outside of operational hours call ”Kristianstad Radio”).

Runway 01/19: right-hand circuit runway 19.

Runway 11/29 (grass): permanentely closed from 2023-03-23.

There is also a rescue helicopter stationed at ESMK and it operates also outside tower hours. They do appriciate that your transponder is turned on so you are visible for them (although it is not a requirement when the tower is closed). Its callsign is Lifeguard+three digits. When its on a rescue mission the call sign changes to Rescue Lifeguard and it should then have highest priority.

Fuel

BP UL91 and Jet A1 are provided by Air BP / KID-airport; For UL91 you need your own BP Sterling UL91 card (no refueling via the flight club from 2023-09-10)

Visiting the club (non-commercial, MTOW < 2500 kg)

If you would like assistance from the club (but not refueling), contact us preferably via guests@krfk.se (is checked several times per day) and provide us with ETA/ETD, registration and other information. You could also call +46 734 42 68 60 but we are not always able to answer.
There is no personel stationed at the club so we do prefer to have a heads-up of your arrival at least a couple of days in advance.

If you arrive and need to leave the field ”via the ground” (and nobody is present) there is a one way gate you could use. When coming back and the club is closed then you need to ask if the personnel at th eterminal could let you through (if its open), otherwise you need to contact the club via the number above.

There is no landing fee (obs non-commercial, MTOW<2500kg) if you add information in the digital guestbook on the desktop at the open computer at the flying club (to the left inside the entrance door). There is no fee for short time parking the plane on the lawn (max 1 week, thereafter 100 SEK/week or 250 SEK/month). If you would like to have it inside a hangar (if there is space) then the fee is 100 SEK / 10€ per 24 hours.

We have some foldable beds you could use if you need to stay at the club house during the night. We then ask you to ”contribute” to ur club with 100 SEK/10€.
