About Ratanakiri Airport
Overview
Ratanakiri Airport (VDRK) is a medium-sized airport located in the Ratanakiri province of Cambodia, situated at coordinates 13.730000, 106.987000. The airport serves the northeastern region of Cambodia, providing essential transportation infrastructure for this remote area. Its location suggests it supports regional connectivity and potentially serves local administrative, commercial, and potentially humanitarian aviation needs.
Flying Conditions
Given the airport's elevation at 0 ft MSL, pilots can expect minimal altitude-related performance considerations. The airport's geographic position in northeastern Cambodia implies potential tropical weather patterns with distinct wet and dry seasons. Pilots should anticipate potential humidity, variable wind conditions, and potential rapid weather changes typical of the region.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (18/36) with a reported length of 3,937 feet. Its low elevation and location suggest the surrounding terrain is likely relatively flat, which could provide straightforward approach and departure conditions. The runway orientation (18/36) indicates a north-south alignment, which may have implications for wind considerations during landing and takeoff.
Approach Considerations
With a runway length of 3,937 feet, aircraft selection and weight management will be critical for safe operations. The north-south runway alignment suggests pilots should be prepared for potential crosswind scenarios, particularly during seasonal wind shifts. Standard regional approach procedures and careful performance calculations will be essential for safe airport operations.
