About Sehwan Sharif Airport

Overview

Sehwan Sharif Airport serves the urban area of Sehwan Sharif in Sindh Province, Pakistan. Located at 26.473101°N, 67.717201°E, this medium-sized airport sits at an elevation of 121 feet mean sea level. The airport provides essential regional connectivity for the surrounding Sindh region.

Flying Conditions

The airport's moderate elevation of 121 ft MSL suggests relatively stable atmospheric conditions typical of lower-altitude Pakistani terrain. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal variations due to the regional climate, which can influence aircraft performance, especially during summer months. The single runway configuration (17/35) spanning 6,562 feet provides reasonable operational flexibility.

Notable Features

Sehwan Sharif Airport features a concrete (CON) runway oriented at 17/35, which indicates a north-northwest to south-southeast alignment. The airport's geographic positioning suggests potential interactions with local terrain and wind patterns characteristic of the Sindh region. Pilots should be prepared for potential localized meteorological variations common to this geographic area.

Approach Considerations

The runway's 6,562-foot length accommodates most medium-sized aircraft operations. Given the runway's 17/35 orientation, approaches will predominantly align with north-northwest and south-southeast headings. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments during pre-flight planning, paying particular attention to potential crosswind components during approach and landing.
