About Campbell Bay Airport / INS Baaz
Overview
Campbell Bay Airport, designated as INS Baaz with ICAO code VO94, is a medium-sized airport located in the Andaman Islands of India. Situated at an elevation of 16 feet above mean sea level, the airport serves the strategic Campbell Bay region in the Nicobar archipelago. Its geographic position at coordinates 7.013040, 93.922798 makes it an important aviation facility in this remote island area.
Flying Conditions
The airport's low elevation of 16 ft MSL indicates a relatively flat terrain with minimal terrain-induced weather variations. Given its island location, pilots should anticipate maritime weather patterns characterized by potential rapid changes and tropical maritime influences. The single runway (05/23) with an asphalt surface measuring 3,445 feet provides adequate landing capabilities for medium-sized aircraft.
Notable Features
Campbell Bay Airport's runway orientation of 05/23 suggests the primary runway alignment follows a near-east/west heading. The asphalt surface indicates a prepared runway suitable for most medium-sized aircraft operations. Its location in the Andaman Islands implies potential challenges related to maritime and tropical environmental conditions that pilots should consider during flight planning.
Approach Considerations
Approach considerations should focus on the 3,445-foot asphalt runway, which requires careful performance calculations for landing and takeoff. The runway's orientation suggests potential crosswind scenarios typical of island environments. Pilots should conduct thorough pre-flight planning, considering the airport's remote location and potential limited support infrastructure.
