Tynset Airfield is an airport with the ICAO code ENTY. Country: Norway. Nearest settlement listed in the database: Tynset. OurAirports classifies it as a small airport. Its ICAO code starts with the EN prefix, which marks airports in Norway. No IATA code is assigned, which is typical for airports without scheduled traffic. The airport reference point sits at 62°15'25"N, 10°40'10"E, at an elevation of 1,581 ft (482 m) above sea level. The applicable time zone is Europe/Oslo.

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), Tynset Airfield has one runway: 05/23 - 940 m long (3,084 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: 05/23 on 50° and 230° 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 05/23 axis, wind from the south-east (around 140°) or from the north-west (around 320°) blows perpendicular to the runway and produces the largest crosswind component. Wind from around 50° or 230° 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 Tynset Airfield are published under the ICAO code ENTY. 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 ENTY 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 ENTY, check the nearby airports listed below.
Reports always use UTC (the Z suffix). The Europe/Oslo 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 Folldal Grimsmoe Airfield (ENGN, 33 km), Røros Airport (ENRO, 50 km), Fagerhaug Airfield (ENOP, 61 km). When no report is available for ENTY, they usually give the best approximation of conditions in the area.
