About Ras Mishab Airport

Overview

Ras Mishab Airport is a medium-sized airport located in Al Mishab, Saudi Arabia, situated at coordinates 28.079599, 48.611000. The airport sits at a low elevation of 13 ft mean sea level, which is characteristic of coastal regions in the Arabian Peninsula. It serves regional aviation needs in the eastern part of Saudi Arabia.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation and coastal location suggest potential for variable wind conditions typical of maritime environments. Pilots should anticipate potential sea-level meteorological influences that can impact visibility and wind patterns. The airport's asphalt runway (16/34) extends 11,058 feet, providing substantial landing and takeoff options.

Notable Features

The single runway (16/34) is oriented in a north-northwest to south-southeast direction, which can provide some strategic wind alignment advantages. Its significant length of 11,058 feet allows accommodations for a wide range of aircraft types and operational requirements. The airport's geographical positioning suggests potential interactions with regional maritime and desert atmospheric conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 16/34's extensive length offers flexibility for approach and departure strategies across different aircraft classifications. Given the low elevation and coastal proximity, pilots should be prepared for potential wind shear or rapid meteorological changes. Standard approach procedures should account for the runway's substantial physical characteristics and potential regional atmospheric variations.
