About Kasiguncu Airport

Overview

Kasiguncu Airport serves the Poso region on Celebes Island in Indonesia, functioning as a medium-sized airport supporting regional transportation needs. Located at coordinates -1.414121, 120.659241, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for central Sulawesi. Its elevation of 174 feet above mean sea level positions it in a relatively low-lying coastal area.

Flying Conditions

Pilots should anticipate typical tropical maritime weather conditions characteristic of Indonesia's central region. The airport's location on Celebes Island suggests potential for variable wind conditions and periodic tropical precipitation. Seasonal variations can significantly impact local meteorological patterns, requiring careful pre-flight weather assessment.

Notable Features

The airport features a single asphalt runway (03/21) with a length of 3,650 feet, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographical position on Celebes Island means surrounding terrain likely includes coastal and potentially hilly landscapes that could influence local wind patterns and approach dynamics. The relatively modest runway length requires precise aircraft performance calculations during landing and takeoff.

Approach Considerations

Runway 03/21 provides the primary approach avenue, with orientation suggesting potential crosswind considerations during landing and departure. Pilots should carefully evaluate aircraft performance parameters against the 3,650-foot runway length, particularly for larger aircraft or during challenging meteorological conditions. Standard instrument approach procedures will be essential for safe navigation in this region.
