About Ghat Airport
Overview
Ghat Airport serves the region of Ghat in Libya, situated at coordinates 25.145599, 10.142600 with an elevation of 2296 feet above mean sea level. As a medium airport, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for the local area, supporting regional transportation and potentially military or commercial operations.
Flying Conditions
Located in an arid region, Ghat Airport experiences typical desert climate conditions with potential for significant temperature variations and potential dust/sand phenomena. The airport's high elevation at 2296 feet MSL will impact aircraft performance, particularly during warmer periods when density altitude can increase significantly.
Notable Features
The airport features two asphalt runways: a primary runway (06/24) measuring 6643 feet and a secondary runway (17/35) extending 11811 feet. The longer 17/35 runway provides flexibility for larger aircraft operations and potentially serves as a primary approach/departure pathway depending on wind conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges, particularly on the shorter 06/24 runway. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction and utilize the longer 17/35 runway when possible, considering its extended length and potential for more stable approach/departure conditions in the desert environment.
