About Duncan Town Airport
Overview
Duncan Town Airport serves Ragged Island in the Bahamas, located in the southern portion of the island chain. As a medium-sized airport with a single 3800-foot asphalted runway, it provides critical aviation access to this remote region. The airport supports regional transportation needs for Duncan Town and surrounding areas of Ragged Island.
Flying Conditions
The airport sits at a low elevation of 6 feet mean sea level, typical of Bahamian island terrain. Being situated at these coordinates (22.181801, -75.729500), the airport experiences maritime tropical weather patterns characterized by generally stable conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential sea-level wind variations and occasional tropical weather influences.
Notable Features
The single runway (13/31) offers directional flexibility for aircraft operations. Its 3800-foot length accommodates medium-sized aircraft, providing reasonable operational capacity for a remote island airport. The asphalted surface suggests relatively consistent runway conditions compared to unpaved alternatives.
Approach Considerations
Runway 13/31 alignment suggests the runway is oriented approximately northeast/southwest, which likely corresponds with predominant wind patterns in this maritime environment. Pilots should conduct standard wind assessment during approach, leveraging the runway's orientation to optimize landing performance. Standard maritime island approach procedures are recommended for safe arrival.
