Shamsi Airfield (OP12) is a medium airport located in Washuk, Pakistan, situated at coordinates 27.846500, 65.160004. The airport serves the Washuk region with a significant elevation of 2524 feet above mean sea level. Its primary runway 04/22 provides a substantial 9120-foot paved surface for aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation at 2524 feet MSL indicates a moderate altitude environment that can impact aircraft performance, particularly during high-temperature conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential density altitude variations that could affect aircraft climbing capabilities and takeoff distances. The region's inland location suggests potential for thermal variations and localized wind patterns.
Notable Features
Shamsi Airfield's runway orientation of 04/22 suggests the airport is aligned to accommodate prevailing wind directions in the region. The lengthy 9120-foot pavement (PEM surface) provides considerable operational flexibility for a range of aircraft types and weights. The airport's geographical position in Washuk indicates a potentially challenging terrain environment typical of southwestern Pakistan.
Approach Considerations
Runway 04/22's extended length of 9120 feet offers pilots substantial landing and takeoff margins. When planning approaches, pilots should carefully consider wind direction relative to the runway's 04/22 heading. The airport's moderate elevation and runway characteristics suggest adaptable approach strategies for various aircraft categories.
