About Colonel Hill Airport
Overview
Colonel Hill Airport serves the southeastern Bahamian island region, situated on a low-lying coastal area with an elevation of 5 ft MSL. Located at coordinates 22.745600, -74.182404, this medium airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for local and regional transportation in the Bahamas.
Flying Conditions
As a coastal airport at low elevation, Colonel Hill experiences maritime weather patterns typical of the Bahamas, with potential for rapid visibility and wind shifts. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind conditions, particularly on the 09/27 runway, which spans 4,061 feet with an asphalt surface.
Notable Features
The airport's terrain is characterized by its minimal elevation and coastal positioning, which can influence wind patterns and approach dynamics. The single runway (09/27) provides directional flexibility for aircraft operations, with its asphalt surface suitable for medium-sized aircraft.
Approach Considerations
Approach considerations should focus on the 09/27 runway orientation, which may require careful wind assessment during landing. The 4,061-foot runway length accommodates medium-sized aircraft, with pilots needing to calculate performance parameters based on prevailing wind conditions and aircraft specifications.
