About Harar Meda Airport

Overview

Harar Meda Airport serves the Debre Zeyit area in Ethiopia, functioning as a medium-sized airport situated at a significant elevation of 6,201 feet mean sea level. Located at coordinates 8.716300, 39.005900, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region's transportation needs.

Flying Conditions

At an elevation of 6,201 feet, pilots should anticipate potential performance considerations related to high-altitude operations. The airport's significant altitude can impact aircraft performance, particularly during takeoff and landing, requiring careful weight and balance calculations and understanding of density altitude effects.

Notable Features

The airport features a single asphalt runway (16/34) with a substantial length of 5,940 feet, capable of supporting medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographic positioning in the Ethiopian plateau suggests potential for variable terrain and wind conditions that pilots should carefully assess during pre-flight planning.

Approach Considerations

The runway's orientation of 16/34 indicates potential wind variation between these magnetic headings. Pilots should review current meteorological data and be prepared for potential crosswind conditions, utilizing the full runway length and considering the high-elevation environment during approach and landing sequences.

Data Sources & Accuracy: Airport information sourced from OurAirports.com, a collaborative database of worldwide airport data. Weather data from official aviation weather services including NOAA Aviation Weather Center and international METAR/TAF providers. Information is updated regularly but pilots should always verify current conditions and NOTAMs through official channels before flight operations.
