About Depati Amir Airport
Overview
Depati Amir Airport serves Pangkal Pinang, the capital of Bangka Belitung Islands Province in Indonesia. The airport is a medium-sized facility located at an elevation of 109 feet above mean sea level, providing essential air transportation services to the region. Its strategic location supports both regional and potentially limited commercial aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Being located near the equator at coordinates -2.162200, 106.139000, Depati Amir Airport experiences a tropical maritime climate with consistent temperatures and high humidity. Pilots should anticipate potential thunderstorm development and localized convective weather patterns typical of the Indonesian maritime environment. Visibility and wind conditions can vary significantly throughout the day.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (16/34) with an asphalt surface measuring 6,550 feet in length. Its moderate elevation and runway configuration suggest capability for handling medium-sized aircraft types. The surrounding terrain is likely characterized by coastal and potentially vegetated landscapes typical of the Bangka Island region.
Approach Considerations
Runway 16/34 orientation indicates potential crosswind scenarios depending on prevailing wind conditions. Pilots should prepare for potential wind variability given the airport's coastal location. Standard instrument approach procedures would be expected, with careful attention to local terrain and maritime environmental factors during arrival and departure phases.
