About Karel Sadsuitubun Airport
Overview
Karel Sadsuitubun Airport serves the Langgur region in Indonesia, located on the Kei Islands in the eastern part of the country. As a medium-sized airport with a substantial runway length of 7,710 feet, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local area and regional transportation needs. The airport's elevation of 78 feet above mean sea level indicates a relatively low-altitude coastal operational environment.
Flying Conditions
Situated near the equator at coordinates -5.760278, 132.759444, the airport experiences consistent tropical maritime weather patterns with minimal seasonal temperature variation. Pilots should anticipate potential humidity and precipitation typical of Indonesia's maritime regions. The airport's coastal location may introduce localized wind shifts and potential marine layer formations.
Notable Features
The airport features an asphalt (ASP) runway oriented at 13/31, which provides flexibility for aircraft approach and departure based on wind conditions. Its geographical position in the Kei Islands suggests potential terrain considerations with surrounding island topography. The runway's considerable length of 7,710 feet accommodates a range of aircraft types common to regional Indonesian operations.
Approach Considerations
Approach strategies should consider the runway's 13/31 orientation, which may provide different wind exposure depending on prevailing maritime air currents. The substantial runway length offers good operational margins for various aircraft performance envelopes. Pilots should prepare for potential marine-influenced meteorological conditions that could affect visibility and wind patterns during arrival and departure phases.
