About Pemba Airport
Overview
Pemba Airport serves the coastal city of Pemba in Mozambique, functioning as a medium-sized regional airport. Located at 331 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the northern Mozambique region. Its two asphalted runways support diverse aviation needs in this coastal area.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Pemba Airport are predominantly visual flight rules (VFR), with 96.6% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. Southeast winds prevail at an average of 7.7 knots, creating generally stable atmospheric conditions. Pilots can expect excellent visibility averaging 10 statute miles, with September, October, and January presenting the most consistently favorable flying weather.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: a shorter 2,625-foot runway (08/26) and a longer 5,905-foot runway (17/35). Both runways are paved and offer 100% favorable wind alignments, with modest average crosswind components of 6.1 knots for 08/26 and 3.8 knots for 17/35. The airport's coastal location at -12.993302, 40.524867 suggests potential maritime meteorological influences.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should anticipate consistent southeast winds when planning approaches, which align favorably with both runways. The substantial length of runway 17/35 provides flexibility for various aircraft types. With minimal occurrences of marginal or instrument flight conditions, visual approaches are typically standard at this airport.
