About San Andros Airport

Overview

San Andros Airport serves Andros Island in the Bahamas, positioned at 25.053801, -78.049004. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 5 feet mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for this significant Bahamian island. The airport supports regional and local aviation operations with its primary runway 12/30, which measures 5,025 feet and is constructed of bituminous surface.

Flying Conditions

Being located on a coastal Bahamian island, San Andros Airport experiences maritime tropical climate conditions with potential for variable wind patterns. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind scenarios on the 12/30 runway given the airport's low elevation and island geography. Seasonal weather variations typical of the Caribbean region will influence local meteorological conditions.

Notable Features

Andros Island's geographic position presents unique considerations for pilots, with surrounding marine environments and relatively flat terrain at 5 feet MSL. The airport's moderate runway length of 5,025 feet accommodates a range of aircraft sizes typical for regional and island-hopping operations. Its bituminous surface provides standard operational capabilities for medium-sized aircraft.

Approach Considerations

Runway 12/30's orientation suggests potential for direct crosswind landings depending on prevailing wind conditions. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction and runway alignment during approach planning. The airport's low elevation and island location require standard maritime approach considerations typical of Bahamian aviation environments.
