About Virginia Airport
Overview
Virginia Airport serves the Durban metropolitan area in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Located at coordinates -29.770599, 31.058399, this medium-sized airport operates at a low elevation of 20 feet mean sea level. The airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for regional and local flight operations in the coastal urban environment.
Flying Conditions
As a coastal airport, Virginia experiences typical subtropical climate conditions characteristic of Durban's region. Pilots should anticipate potential maritime weather influences, including occasional sea breezes and humidity variations. The low elevation of 20 ft MSL suggests minimal altitude-related performance considerations for aircraft operations.
Notable Features
The airport features a single asphalt runway (05/23) with a length of 3,035 feet, suitable for smaller aircraft and regional operations. Its geographical proximity to Durban's urban center makes it strategically positioned for local aviation activities. The runway orientation suggests potential wind exposure from different directional approaches.
Approach Considerations
Runway 05/23 provides a standard approach environment with 3,035 feet of asphalt surface. Pilots should assess wind conditions and runway alignment when planning arrivals and departures. The relatively short runway length requires careful aircraft performance calculations and weight management during operational planning.
