About Khark Airport
Overview
Khark Airport serves as a medium-sized airport located on Khark Island in Iran, positioned at coordinates 29.260503, 50.322193. Situated at a low elevation of 17 ft MSL, the airport provides critical infrastructure for regional aviation operations in the Persian Gulf region. Its single runway 14/32 extends 5,922 feet with an asphalt surface, supporting various aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Khark Airport predominantly support visual flight rules (VFR), with 57.9% of observations in VFR conditions and 29.9% in marginal VFR. The prevailing wind from the northwest (315°) averages 9.4 knots, with maximum gusts up to 25 knots and calm periods occurring 16.5% of the time. Temperature ranges from 9°C to 43°C, with an average of 24.8°C, creating generally stable atmospheric conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's geographical position on Khark Island introduces unique environmental characteristics for pilots. With consistent northwest winds and minimal terrain variations, the airport offers relatively predictable approach and departure conditions. The low elevation and island location suggest potential maritime meteorological influences that could affect local wind and visibility patterns.
Approach Considerations
Runway 14/32 demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with favorable wind conditions 100% of the time and an average crosswind of only 2.6 knots. Pilots can expect optimal VFR conditions, particularly during January, September, and October. The consistent visibility averaging 10 statute miles and absence of reported fog provide reliable visual navigation opportunities.
