Torraccia airfield
Aeroclub San Marino
The hangar of Aeroclub San Marino, which operates the runway.
The airfield, in the grass, is 625 meters long, with 16/34 orientation. The preferred orientation is runway 16 for takeoffs and runway 34 for landings. Runway 34 has a circuit with turns to the right.
[1] In 1983 it constitutes the Aeroclub San Marino that legal recognition as an association by the Council of Twelve in 1985; in the same year was built the airfield of Torraccia.
The municipal plan has approved an expansion of the runway length to a total of 950 meters. The expansion, however, is hindered by the residents, because of a recent regulation that allowed the construction of residential buildings almost on the runway.
The helipad, of small size (98.2 meters), allows the landing of various types of helicopters.
The Frecce Tricolori, aerobatic aircraft of various types, and the paratroopers have sometimes performed at the airfield.
Both runways are open everyday including holidays.
On June 19, 2011, the helipad was used by Pope Benedict XVI to visit the Diocese of San Marino-Montefeltro. After reaching the airfield from the heliport of the Vatican City, the Pope from here went to Pennabilli.[2]
On Christmas Eve of 2014, the president of Aeroclub San Marino Corrado Carattoni launched the idea of adapting the airfield and helipad to an airport in the national interest by paving the runway, increasing hangar spaces and a lengthening the runway by 650 m.[3]
