About Mecheria Airport
Overview
Mecheria Airport is a medium-sized airport located in Algeria, situated at an elevation of 3,855 feet mean sea level. Positioned at coordinates 33.535900, -0.242353, the airport serves the region around Mecheria with two substantial asphalt runways capable of handling diverse aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Mecheria Airport predominantly support visual flight rules (VFR), with 52.4% of observations in VFR and 43.1% in marginal VFR conditions. The airport experiences prevailing southwest winds averaging 9 knots, with temperatures ranging from -4°C to 34°C and an average of 13.1°C. September, October, and November represent the most consistently favorable flying months.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: 06/24 measuring 11,780 feet and 17/35 measuring 9,436 feet, both constructed of asphalt. Wind data indicates exceptionally consistent runway alignment, with both runways experiencing 100% favorable wind conditions and modest average crosswind components of 5.7 and 5.4 knots respectively. The high elevation of 3,855 feet will require pilots to consider density altitude effects, particularly during warmer months.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect reliable wind conditions with a prevailing southwest direction at 225 degrees. The extensive runway lengths and minimal crosswind suggest flexible approach options. Visibility consistently averages 10 statute miles, with negligible fog occurrence (0.4%) and no significant low visibility events, providing generally stable approach conditions throughout the year.
