About Dera Ismael Khan Airport [IN-ACTIVE]
Overview
Dera Ismael Khan Airport serves the urban center of Dera Ismael Khan in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, Pakistan. Located at coordinates 31.909401, 70.896599, this medium-sized airport sits at an elevation of 594 feet above mean sea level. The airport currently appears to be inactive but maintains infrastructure for potential future aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport's mid-latitude location suggests variable weather conditions typical of the region, with potential for significant temperature and wind variations throughout the year. At 594 feet elevation, the airport experiences a moderate terrain profile that generally supports stable flying conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal activity and localized wind patterns characteristic of the region's geographic setting.
Notable Features
The single runway 12/30 extends 5,000 feet and is constructed with an asphalt (ASP) surface, providing a standard medium-airport operational platform. Its geographical positioning in Dera Ismael Khan suggests potential interactions with surrounding terrain, including potential wind channeling effects from nearby landscape features. The runway's orientation allows for approaches from both 120 and 300-degree headings.
Approach Considerations
Approach considerations should focus on the runway's 5,000-foot length, which accommodates medium-sized aircraft operations. Pilots should be prepared for potential crosswind scenarios given the runway's 12/30 orientation. Standard visual and instrument approach techniques applicable to medium-elevation airports with asphalt surfaces should be employed when operational status is confirmed.
