About Clarence A. Bain Airport

Overview

Clarence A. Bain Airport serves Mangrove Cay in the Bahamas, providing critical transportation infrastructure for this island location. As a medium-sized airport with a single runway, it supports regional and inter-island aviation operations in the Bahamian archipelago.

Flying Conditions

Located at a low elevation of 19 feet MSL, the airport experiences typical Caribbean maritime weather patterns with potential for variable winds and occasional tropical system influences. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts given the airport's coastal positioning and relatively flat terrain surrounding the runway.

Notable Features

The airport features a 5000-foot bituminous (BIT) runway oriented 09/27, which provides substantial landing and takeoff options for medium-sized aircraft. Its geographic coordinates at 24.287701, -77.684601 place it in a strategic location for regional transportation across the Bahamian islands.

Approach Considerations

Runway 09/27's length and surface configuration support multiple aircraft types, with potential wind considerations affecting runway selection. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments when planning approaches, paying particular attention to potential crosswind components given the runway's orientation.
