About King Salman Abdulaziz Airport
Overview
King Salman Abdulaziz Airport serves the Dawadmi region in Saudi Arabia, positioned at an elevation of 3026 feet above mean sea level. This medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure in a predominantly rural area of central Saudi Arabia. The airport features a single runway (15/33) with a substantial 10,006-foot asphalt surface.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at King Salman Abdulaziz Airport are predominantly VFR, with 97% of observations supporting visual flight rules. Winds typically originate from the southeast (135°) at an average of 9.1 knots, with occasional gusts up to 23 knots. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from 2°C to 42°C, with an average of 21.4°C, suggesting potential for considerable thermal fluctuations during flight operations.
Notable Features
The airport's high elevation at 3026 feet MSL introduces potential performance considerations for aircraft, particularly during warmer months. Its geographic coordinates (24.449900, 44.121201) place it in a region characterized by arid terrain. The single runway's orientation and length provide flexibility for various aircraft types and operational requirements.
Approach Considerations
Runway 15/33 demonstrates highly favorable wind conditions, with winds aligned 100% of the time and an average crosswind component of just 5.7 knots. Pilots can expect optimal VFR conditions during September, October, and November, with consistently good visibility averaging 10 statute miles. Minimal fog occurrence (1.7%) and rare low IFR conditions (0.3%) suggest generally reliable approach and landing environments.
