About Ghadames East Airport
Overview
Ghadames East Airport serves the Ghadames region in Libya, positioned at coordinates 30.151699, 9.715310. As a medium-sized airport situated at an elevation of 1122 ft mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local area and potential regional transportation needs.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation of 1122 ft suggests a moderate terrain environment that could experience variable wind conditions. Given its location in Libya, pilots should anticipate potential desert climate characteristics including potential thermal turbulence and potential dust/sand visibility challenges during certain seasons.
Notable Features
Ghadames East Airport features two significant runways: runway 01/19 with a length of 6516 feet and runway 06/24 with an extended length of 11811 feet, both constructed with asphalt (ASP) surfaces. The longer 06/24 runway provides substantial operational flexibility for different aircraft types and approach scenarios.
Approach Considerations
The dual runway configuration allows pilots flexibility in selecting approach vectors based on prevailing wind conditions. With runways oriented at different angles (01/19 and 06/24), pilots can choose the most suitable runway based on current wind direction and speed, enhancing operational safety and efficiency.
