About Bancasi Airport
Overview
Bancasi Airport serves the city of Butuan in the Philippines, located in the northern Mindanao region. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 141 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical air transportation infrastructure for the surrounding provincial area. The airport supports regional commercial and potential military aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Butuan's tropical maritime climate presents variable weather conditions for pilots, with significant humidity and potential thunderstorm development. The airport's moderate elevation of 141 ft MSL suggests relatively stable atmospheric conditions without extreme altitude challenges. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal and convective activity typical of the Philippine archipelago's maritime environment.
Notable Features
The single runway 12/30 spans 6,877 feet of concrete surface, accommodating medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographical coordinates at 8.951500, 125.478800 position the airport in a coastal plain region, which may introduce localized wind variations and potential marine layer formations. The runway's length provides sufficient operational flexibility for most regional aircraft types.
Approach Considerations
Runway 12/30's orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges depending on prevailing regional wind patterns. Pilots should carefully evaluate wind conditions during approach, utilizing the full concrete runway length for safe landing and takeoff operations. Standard instrument approach procedures will be critical given the airport's geographical location and potential maritime meteorological influences.
