About Iringa Airport

Overview

Iringa Airport serves the southern highlands region of Tanzania, located in Nduli near the city of Iringa. Situated at an elevation of 4,678 feet MSL, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region. The airport features a single asphalt runway 02/20, measuring 5,508 feet in length.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences predominantly favorable VFR conditions, with 85% of observations showing clear flying weather. Wind patterns are consistently easterly, averaging 7.8 knots with occasional gusts up to 19 knots. Temperature variations are moderate, ranging from 10°C to 32°C, with an average of 22.9°C, creating generally stable atmospheric conditions for flight operations.

Notable Features

Positioned in the southern Tanzanian highlands, Iringa Airport is characterized by its significant elevation and potential terrain interactions. The airport's location suggests potential for complex local wind patterns and potential orographic effects. Pilots should be aware of the airport's higher-than-sea-level elevation when calculating performance parameters.

Approach Considerations

Runway 02/20 benefits from highly favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and a modest average crosswind of 5.7 knots. September, October, and November represent the most consistent VFR months for operations. The consistently good visibility (average 10 statute miles) and minimal low-visibility events provide predictable approach conditions.
