About Vryburg Airport
Overview
Vryburg Airport serves the Northwest Province of South Africa, located near the town of Vryburg at an elevation of 3,920 feet above mean sea level. As a medium-sized airport, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for the region, supporting various aviation activities in this part of South Africa.
Flying Conditions
The airport's high elevation of 3,920 ft MSL significantly impacts aircraft performance, particularly during warmer periods when density altitude can increase. Pilots should carefully calculate takeoff and landing performance, considering the airport's altitude and potential temperature variations. The single asphalt runway (18/36) measuring 3,937 feet provides adequate length for most medium-sized aircraft operations.
Notable Features
Situated at coordinates -26.982401, 24.728800, Vryburg Airport is positioned in an area with relatively flat terrain typical of the Northwest Province. The airport's orientation (runway 18/36) suggests the primary wind direction typically follows a north-south pattern. Pilots should be prepared for potential crosswind conditions given the runway's alignment.
Approach Considerations
Approach planning should account for the airport's elevation and runway characteristics, with special attention to runway 18/36's asphalt surface. Standard approach procedures should consider potential wind variations and the airport's moderate elevation. Pilots should ensure they have appropriate performance calculations for operations at this 3,920 ft MSL airport.
