Pangsuma Airport serves the Putussibau region in West Kalimantan, located on Borneo Island, Indonesia. As a medium-sized airport situated at 297 feet mean sea level, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for this remote area. The airport supports regional connectivity in a challenging geographical landscape.
Flying Conditions
Being located near the equator, Pangsuma Airport experiences consistent tropical weather conditions with high humidity and potential frequent precipitation. The airport's elevation at 297 ft MSL suggests minimal terrain challenges for approach and landing. Pilots should anticipate potential rapid weather changes typical of equatorial regions.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (10/28) with an asphalt surface measuring 3,294 feet in length. Its geographical coordinates (0.834579, 112.940217) position it in a densely forested region of Borneo, surrounded by challenging terrain. The runway orientation suggests potential wind variations that pilots must carefully assess during approach.
Approach Considerations
Runway 10/28 provides a relatively standard approach environment with its 3,294-foot asphalt surface. Given the airport's equatorial location, wind patterns may vary, so careful pre-flight wind assessment is recommended.
