About Zabol Airport
Overview
Zabol Airport serves the eastern Iranian city of Zabol, located near the Afghanistan border. As a medium-sized airport at 1,628 feet elevation, it provides critical regional transportation infrastructure in a challenging desert environment. The airport supports various aviation operations with its substantial 9,848-foot asphalted runway.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Zabol Airport are predominantly VFR, with 89.1% of observations indicating favorable visual flight rules. Winds predominantly originate from the north (0°) with an average speed of 10.4 knots, occasionally reaching maximum gusts of 39 knots. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -4°C to 44°C, with an average of 18.1°C.
Notable Features
The airport is situated in a region characterized by arid terrain and significant temperature fluctuations. Its single runway (16/34) is oriented to take maximum advantage of prevailing wind patterns, with 100% favorable wind alignment and an average crosswind of just 2.6 knots. The geographical location suggests potential for challenging thermal and dust conditions typical of desert environments.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect highly consistent approach conditions, with excellent visibility averaging 10 statute miles and minimal meteorological restrictions. January, November, and December represent the most predictable VFR months. The runway's generous 9,848-foot length provides substantial margin for various aircraft types, with minimal crosswind complications.
