About Tjilik Riwut Airport
Overview
Tjilik Riwut Airport serves Palangkaraya, the capital of Central Kalimantan province in Indonesia. Located at coordinates -2.227146, 113.943388, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the region. The airport is positioned at an elevation of 82 feet mean sea level, supporting regional and local aviation needs.
Flying Conditions
Situated near the equator, Palangkaraya experiences consistent tropical climate conditions with high humidity and potential rapid weather changes. Pilots should anticipate potential convective activity and localized thunderstorms, which are common in this geographical region. The airport's relatively low elevation of 82 ft MSL suggests minimal terrain-related atmospheric variations.
Notable Features
Tjilik Riwut Airport features a single runway (16/34) measuring 8,202 feet in length, constructed with asphalt surface. The runway's substantial length accommodates a variety of aircraft types and provides flexibility for different operational requirements. Its orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing.
Approach Considerations
Runway 16/34 provides pilots with a standard approach configuration aligned with the regional geographical orientation. Given the airport's tropical location, pilots should prepare for potential rapid weather transitions and maintain heightened situational awareness during arrival and departure procedures. Standard instrument approach capabilities are likely available, though specific procedural details would require local aviation authority confirmation.
