Geographic coordinates: 50.517N 20.517E. Elevation 186 m (610 ft).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Pi\u0144cz\u00f3w airport was established in 1932 as part of the Air and Anti-Gas Defense League. The Air and Anti-Gas Defense League (LOPP) was a mass Polish paramilitary organization established in 1928, a merger of the State Air Defense League, founded in 1923, and the Anti-Gas Defense Society, founded in 1922. The league aimed to promote sports, communication, and military aviation. The organization operated until the outbreak of World War II in 1939. A Gliding School was established in Pi\u0144cz\u00f3w in 1932.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But Pi\u0144cz\u00f3w has a longer aviation tradition. In 1784, the “Gazeta Warszawska” reported: “…during the ceremonies marking the beginning of the school year, two balloons, each two feet in diameter, were released in Pi\u0144cz\u00f3w. In the autumn of that year, people also enjoyed constructing and releasing balloons on the estate of Margrave Franciszek Wielopolski.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 1973, the Pi\u0144cz\u00f3w airfield reopened for air sports. However, due to a lack of adequate funding, the establishment of an aeroclub was not possible. In the early 1990s, a branch of the Kielce Aeroclub was established in Pi\u0144cz\u00f3w to train glider pilots. Theoretical training was conducted at the Municipal Sports and Recreation Center. The Pi\u0144cz\u00f3w Aeroclub was founded in January 1994, and was one of the few aeroclubs focused on powered hang gliders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For several years, the Pi\u0144cz\u00f3w Aeroclub has been organizing the Polish PPG (Powered Paraglider) Championships, precision flying competitions, and modeling competitions. Training at the Pi\u0144cz\u00f3w Aeroclub is provided by the certified paragliding school, SLR “AEROKRAK.” Paragliding and hang gliding training is offered for all levels, as well as training for additional qualifications such as powered paragliding (PPG), powered paragliding (PPGG), winch flight training, for launch directors, and winch operators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Pi\u0144cz\u00f3w airstrip has an ICAO code – EPPC. The airstrip belongs to the Regional Aeroclub in Pi\u0144cz\u00f3w. The airstrip is approved for flights by powered hang gliders, airplanes, gyroplanes, towed hang glider flights behind a powered hang glider or ULM, and towed paraglider flights behind a stationary winch. Radio communication – Pi\u0144cz\u00f3w Radio – 122.600 MHz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The landing site has two runways. The first is 700 m x 30 m, in the direction of 115\/295, with a dirt surface – grass. The second is 550 m x 20 m, in the direction of 142\/322, with a dirt surface – grass. There is a hangar at the airport where aircraft can be stored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The airport is used by the Polish Medical Air Rescue (LPR). For helicopters, there is a paved heliport with access for ambulances from the nearby hospital. The heliport is circular with a diameter of 15 m. The surface is asphalt. The landing site is equipped with approach lights in the direction of 035\/215. Night landings are assisted by the fire department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The landing site address: Regional Aeroklub w Pi\u0144czowie, ul.
