About Gusau Airport
Overview
Gusau Airport serves the capital of Zamfara State in northwestern Nigeria, providing critical transportation infrastructure for the region. Located at coordinates 12.172860, 6.696136, the airport supports medium-level aviation operations in a strategically important area of the country.
Flying Conditions
Situated at an elevation of 1520 feet mean sea level, Gusau Airport experiences typical subtropical climate conditions characteristic of northern Nigeria. Pilots should anticipate potential seasonal wind variations that could impact approach and departure procedures, particularly along the airport's primary runway orientation.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (05/23) with a length of 4800 feet, configured for landing and takeoff (LAT) operations. Its moderate elevation and geographical positioning require standard terrain awareness and navigation considerations typical of Nigeria's inland aviation environment.
Approach Considerations
Runway 05/23 provides a standard approach path aligned with the airport's primary geographic orientation. Given the runway length of 4800 feet, aircraft performance planning should account for the airport's elevation and potential local meteorological conditions that might affect landing and takeoff characteristics.
