About Kaolack Airport
Overview
Kaolack Airport (GOOK) serves the city of Kaolack in Senegal, positioned at 14.146900, -16.051300. As a medium airport with a single asphalt runway measuring 5,249 feet, it supports regional aviation operations in this part of West Africa. The airport sits at a low elevation of 26 feet mean sea level.
Flying Conditions
Meteorological data indicates highly reliable visual flight conditions, with 92.9% of observations showing VFR weather. Temperatures range broadly from 14°C to 40°C, averaging 27.6°C, with December, January, and November presenting the most consistently favorable flying weather. Winds predominantly blow from the northeast at an average of 6.5 knots, with occasional gusts up to 16 knots.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway (06/24) experiences highly favorable wind conditions, with 100% wind alignment and an average crosswind of only 3.8 knots. Its low elevation and geographic positioning suggest minimal terrain challenges for approaching and departing aircraft. The consistently high visibility (averaging 10 statute miles) supports reliable visual navigation.
Approach Considerations
Given the prevailing northeast winds, runway 06 will typically offer the most direct headwind approach. Pilots can expect minimal wind-related complications, with calm conditions present in just 0.2% of observations. The broad temperature range suggests potential performance considerations during high-temperature periods, particularly for larger aircraft.
