About Muchowiec Airport
Katowice-Muchowiec Airfield (Polish: Lotnisko Katowice-Muchowiec, ICAO code: EPKM) is a general aviation (mainly sport use) aerodrome in the Muchowiec neighbourhood of Katowice, Poland.
It has one inoperative concrete runway, RWY 05/23 with the dimensions of 1,109 by 30 metres (3,638 ft × 98 ft). There is a displaced threshold length of 221 meters (725 feet) on both RWY 05 and RWY 23, yielding a landing distance of 888 metres (2,913 feet). However, coal-mining activity damaged the runway and it is no longer used. The parallel 770-metre grass RWY 05/23 is also closed per NOTAM until the end of 2007. This leaves the 655-metre grass RWY 07/25 as the sole working runway.
