Lentokohde

Lentokohde is a Finnish term that translates to "flight destination" or "landing site." It refers to the intended or actual location where an aircraft is scheduled to arrive or has landed. This term is commonly used in aviation contexts, including flight planning, air traffic control, and passenger information.

When planning a flight, the lentokohde is a crucial piece of information. It determines the route, fuel requirements, and operational procedures for the flight crew and air traffic services. For passengers, the lentokohde is the final destination of their journey, typically an airport.

In air traffic control, the lentokohde is used to manage the flow of aircraft and ensure safe separation. Controllers track aircraft en route to their destinations and provide guidance for landing. Weather conditions at the lentokohde are a significant factor in flight operations, as they can affect safety and operational feasibility.

The term can also be used more broadly to refer to any location suitable for landing an aircraft, such as a designated helipad or a prepared airstrip. In some cases, it might refer to an emergency landing site if the primary lentokohde becomes unavailable. The specific meaning can vary slightly depending on the context of its use within the aviation industry.
