About Lusaka City Airport
Overview
Lusaka City Airport serves the capital city of Zambia, located at an elevation of 4200 feet above mean sea level. Positioned at coordinates -15.413800, 28.330700, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Lusaka metropolitan area. The airport features a single asphalt runway (08/26) with a substantial length of 6,594 feet.
Flying Conditions
Given the airport's significant elevation at 4200 feet MSL, pilots should anticipate potential performance considerations related to density altitude, particularly during warmer periods. The airport's location in central Zambia suggests potential for variable meteorological conditions that can impact flight operations. Seasonal wind patterns may influence runway selection and approach strategies.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway (08/26) is aligned to accommodate prevailing wind conditions typical to the region. At 6,594 feet in length, the runway provides adequate surface for most medium-sized aircraft operations. The asphalt surface offers standard friction characteristics for landing and takeoff procedures.
Approach Considerations
Runway 08/26 provides a standard approach environment with its substantial 6,594-foot length. Pilots should carefully calculate performance parameters considering the 4200-foot elevation, which can significantly impact aircraft capabilities. Standard instrument approach procedures should be reviewed with particular attention to terrain and local atmospheric conditions.
