About Al Abraq International Airport
Overview
Al Abraq International Airport serves as a medium-sized airport located in Al Albraq, Libya, positioned at coordinates 32.788700, 21.964300. Situated at an elevation of 2157 feet mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure in its regional context. The airport features two asphalted runways that support a variety of aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation at 2157 feet MSL indicates a moderate terrain environment that could influence aircraft performance, especially during high-temperature periods. With two substantial runways - one at 6214 feet and another at 11824 feet - the airport can accommodate a range of aircraft types and operational requirements. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations given the airport's geographic location.
Notable Features
Al Abraq International Airport's runway configuration (03/21 and 10/28) provides operational flexibility for different wind conditions and aircraft approach vectors. The substantial length of the 10/28 runway at 11824 feet allows for extended takeoff and landing capabilities, potentially supporting larger aircraft and longer-distance operations. The airport's geographical positioning suggests potential exposure to regional meteorological patterns.
Approach Considerations
Pilots approaching Al Abraq International Airport should carefully consider the dual runway configuration when planning arrivals and departures. The 11824-foot runway (10/28) offers significant operational advantages and may be preferred for larger aircraft or during challenging wind conditions. Standard instrument approach protocols should be followed, with particular attention to the airport's 2157-foot elevation and potential regional atmospheric variables.
