About Walkersons Field

Walkersons Field (FADU) is located in , ZA at an elevation of 6,041 feet MSL, making density altitude a consideration for performance planning. The airport has 1 runway (18/36), with the longest at 3,215 feet.

Airport Overview

Walkersons Field serves in ZA. As a smaller airfield, services may be limited. Pilots should verify fuel availability and operating hours before arrival. The airport features 1 runway (18/36) with asphalt surface. The longest runway measures 3,215 feet, adequate for light general aviation aircraft.

Elevation Considerations

At 6041 feet MSL, density altitude is an important consideration for flight planning, particularly during summer months. Performance calculations should account for the reduced air density at this elevation.

Flight Planning

For current NOTAMs and operational information, consult the local aviation authority publications. Weather data including METAR and TAF reports are typically available from nearby reporting stations if not directly from this airport. Before flight, verify current conditions through official channels and check Jeppesen or national AIP for the latest aeronautical information.

Weather Information

When METAR observations are not available directly from FADU, pilots can reference weather from nearby airports shown above. Consider distance and terrain differences when using alternate weather sources. For official flight planning, always use approved weather briefing services.
