About Akola Airport
Overview
Akola Airport (VAAK) serves the urban area of Akola in Maharashtra, India, functioning as a medium-sized airport at an elevation of 999 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates 20.698931, 77.056883, the airport provides regional aviation infrastructure for the surrounding district.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation at 999 ft MSL suggests a moderately elevated terrain profile which can influence aircraft performance and approach characteristics. Given its inland location, pilots should anticipate potential thermal variations and localized wind patterns typical of central Indian geographical regions.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (10/28) with a length of 4,600 feet, constructed with a PEM (Permanent Engineered Material) surface. Its orientation suggests potential crosswind scenarios for aircraft during landing and takeoff, particularly with the runway's east-west alignment.
Approach Considerations
Runway 10/28's 4,600-foot length accommodates most regional and medium-sized aircraft, providing adequate landing and takeoff distance for typical operations. Pilots should prepare for potential wind variations and carefully assess runway surface conditions, particularly during seasonal transitions.
