In this paper, the results from a numerical study of the atmospheric flow characteristics at the Alta airport, Norway are presented. Experiences of the pilots operating in the region have been used to validate the findings. Further analysis has resulted in the identification of dangerous zones for aviation activities for a particular wind direction. Towards the end an effort has been made to relate the experience of the pilots with the mountain waves generated due to the presence of a small hill close to the airport.
