Located at coordinates -3.442360, 114.763000 with an elevation of 66 ft MSL, the airport provides essential air transportation infrastructure for the surrounding maritime region.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions, with 71.8% of observations supporting visual flight rules and only 7.7% of time experiencing restrictive IFR or LIFR conditions. Prevailing winds from the northeast (45°) average 4.6 knots, with temperatures consistently ranging between 19°C and 35°C, creating generally stable atmospheric conditions for flight operations.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway 10/28 extends 8,202 feet with an asphalt surface, offering substantial length for most commercial and regional aircraft. The geographical location suggests a tropical maritime environment, which typically implies potential for rapid localized weather development and the importance of pre-flight meteorological briefings.

Approach Considerations

With a 100% favorable wind coverage for runway 10/28 and an average crosswind of only 3.1 knots, pilots can anticipate relatively consistent approach conditions. September, January, and November represent the most stable months for visual meteorological conditions, offering optimal flying windows with high visibility and minimal weather-related constraints.
