About Dr. Ferdinand Lumban Tobing Airport
Overview
Dr. Ferdinand Lumban Tobing Airport serves the coastal city of Sibolga in North Sumatra, Indonesia. Located at an elevation of 33 feet mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides essential air transportation connectivity for the Pinangsori region. The airport supports regional commercial and potential general aviation operations in this part of Sumatra.
Flying Conditions
Being situated near the coast at a low elevation, the airport experiences typical tropical maritime weather conditions characteristic of western Indonesian archipelago regions. Pilots should anticipate potential humidity-related visibility variations and potential convective activity due to the geographic location. The low elevation of 33 feet MSL suggests minimal terrain-induced weather complexities.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (12/30) measuring 5,655 feet with an asphalt surface, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its coastal positioning near 1.557127° North latitude indicates proximity to maritime geographical features that could influence local wind patterns and approach conditions. The runway orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during certain seasonal wind regimes.
Approach Considerations
Runway 12/30 provides directional flexibility for aircraft arrivals and departures based on prevailing wind conditions. The 5,655-foot asphalt runway supports operations for regional commercial aircraft and provides adequate length for most medium-sized aircraft. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments during approach planning, considering the airport's low coastal elevation.
