About Kaimana Airport

Overview

Kaimana Airport is located in the coastal region of Indonesia, serving the Kaimana Regency in West Papua Province. Positioned at an elevation of 19 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for this remote maritime region.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation suggests a tropical maritime climate with potentially variable wind conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential humidity and potential thermal variations due to the coastal and equatorial location.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (01/19) with an asphalt surface measuring 5,249 feet in length. Its geographic coordinates (-3.644600, 133.695116) indicate a location near coastal waters, which may introduce complex local wind and visibility dynamics.

Approach Considerations

The runway's orientation of 01/19 suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing. With a medium-length runway of 5,249 feet, aircraft performance planning should account for the available landing distance and potential local environmental factors.
