About Deadman's Cay Airport

Overview

Deadman's Cay Airport serves Long Island in the Bahamas, providing critical transportation infrastructure for this remote island location. The airport supports regional and domestic aviation operations at an elevation of 9 feet above mean sea level, situated near the coastal community of Deadman's Cay.

Flying Conditions

Located at 23.179001, -75.093597, the airport experiences typical Caribbean maritime weather patterns with potential wind variations across its single runway. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind conditions given the airport's geographical positioning and the 4000-foot asphalt runway oriented at 09/27.

Notable Features

The airport's moderate elevation of 9 feet MSL indicates a relatively flat terrain characteristic of Bahamian island landscapes. With a single runway of 4000 feet in length, the airport can accommodate medium-sized aircraft and provides essential connectivity for the Long Island region.

Approach Considerations

Runway 09/27's orientation suggests potential preference based on prevailing wind directions, which typically blow from easterly to westerly quadrants in this maritime environment. Pilots should conduct standard preflight wind assessments and be prepared for potential crosswind landing techniques given the runway's angular alignment.
