About Ubaydah Bin Al Jarrah Airport

Overview

Ubaydah Bin Al Jarrah Airport serves the Al Kut region in Iraq, functioning as a medium-sized airport at an elevation of 68 feet mean sea level. Located at coordinates 32.481998, 45.757099, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the surrounding area. Its two substantial runways support diverse aviation operations in this geographic region.

Flying Conditions

Situated at a low elevation of 68 ft MSL, the airport experiences minimal altitude-related performance considerations for aircraft. The two runways—one concrete (10,174 ft) and one asphalt (11,666 ft)—offer significant operational flexibility across different aircraft types and weather conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential regional temperature variations that could impact aircraft performance, particularly during seasonal transitions.

Notable Features

The airport features two parallel runways (11L/29R and 11R/29L) with significant length, accommodating a wide range of aircraft categories. Its geographical positioning in Al Kut suggests potential interactions with local terrain and regional meteorological patterns. The substantial runway lengths provide operational advantages for various aircraft weight classes and approach scenarios.

Approach Considerations

Runway orientation (11L/29R and 11R/29L) suggests potential wind alignment considerations for approach and departure procedures. The extended runway lengths of 10,174 and 11,666 feet provide generous margins for most aircraft operational requirements. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments consistent with the airport's geographical location when planning approaches.
