About Domine Eduard Osok Airport

Overview

Domine Eduard Osok Airport serves the city of Sorong in Indonesia's West Papua province, located at coordinates -0.894000, 131.287000. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 10 feet mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional transportation in this eastern Indonesian maritime region. The airport supports commercial and potentially regional connecting flights for the Sorong area.

Flying Conditions

Located near the equator, Domine Eduard Osok Airport experiences consistent tropical maritime weather conditions with potential for high humidity and occasional convective activity. The airport's low elevation of 10 ft MSL suggests minimal terrain-induced weather variations. Pilots should anticipate potential rapid atmospheric changes typical of equatorial regions, with potential thunderstorm development during transition periods.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (09/27) with an asphalt surface measuring 6,070 feet in length, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its proximity to coastal and maritime terrain indicates potential wind variability and localized meteorological phenomena. The low elevation and geographical positioning suggest minimal orographic influences on airport operations.

Approach Considerations

Runway 09/27's orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing. Pilots should prepare for potential wind shifts given the airport's coastal location. The 6,070-foot runway provides adequate length for most medium-sized aircraft, but specific performance calculations remain critical based on individual aircraft characteristics and current meteorological conditions.
