Kamp-Lintfort Airfield (Rheinberg) is an airport with the ICAO code EDLC. Country: Germany. Nearest settlement listed in the database: Rheinberg. OurAirports classifies it as a small airport. Its ICAO code starts with the ED prefix, which marks airports in Germany. No IATA code is assigned, which is typical for airports without scheduled traffic. The airport reference point sits at 51°31'45"N, 6°32'10"E, at an elevation of 85 ft (26 m) above sea level. The applicable time zone is Europe/Berlin.

The course is derived from the runway designator (number × 10), not from a survey - the actual magnetic bearing can differ by a few degrees.
Declared distances (TORA, TODA, ASDA, LDA) are published in the national AIP - they are not part of this table.
According to OurAirports data (compiled from AIP and FAA sources), Kamp-Lintfort Airfield (Rheinberg) has one runway: 07/25 - 600 m long (1,968 ft), 30 m wide, grass surface.
All runways have a grass surface, which distinguishes this site from airports with a paved runway.
The thresholds are oriented as follows: 07/25 on 70° and 250° magnetic. A threshold designator is its magnetic heading divided by ten (ICAO Annex 14), so the runway axis can be read straight off the numbers.
For the 07/25 axis, wind from the south (around 160°) or from the north (around 340°) blows perpendicular to the runway and produces the largest crosswind component. Wind from around 70° or 250° acts along the runway, as a headwind or a tailwind. The decoder on this page computes those components automatically from the current METAR.
Weather reports for Kamp-Lintfort Airfield (Rheinberg) are published under the ICAO code EDLC. A METAR is an observation of current conditions, usually issued every 30 or 60 minutes; a TAF is a forecast for the airport area, typically covering 9 to 30 hours.
The decoder breaks the EDLC report down into its parts: wind direction and speed including gusts and variability, visibility (including CAVOK and directional minimum visibility), weather phenomena by WMO code, cloud layers with their bases, temperature and dew point, QNH pressure, and the resulting flight category - VFR, MVFR, IFR or LIFR - using FAA thresholds.
Not every airport issues its own reports; many smaller airfields have no weather station. If no current data is available for EDLC, check the nearby airports listed below.
Reports always use UTC (the Z suffix). The Europe/Berlin zone is GMT+01:00 in winter and GMT+02:00 in summer - that is the shift to apply to the time in the report to get local time at the airport.
The closest airports in the database, measured in a straight line from the reference point, are Wesel-Römerwardt Airfield (EDLX, 15 km), Krefeld-Egelsberg Airfield (EDLK, 16 km), Dinslaken/Schwarze Heide Airfield (EDLD, 24 km). When no report is available for EDLC, they usually give the best approximation of conditions in the area.
