About Fatmawati Soekarno Airport
Overview
Fatmawati Soekarno Airport serves the Bengkulu region in southern Sumatra, Indonesia, providing essential air transportation infrastructure for the local area. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 50 feet mean sea level, it supports regional and potentially limited commercial aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Located near the equator at coordinates -3.863700, 102.338997, the airport experiences a tropical maritime climate with typically high humidity and consistent temperatures. Pilots should anticipate potential convective weather patterns common to equatorial regions, with potential thunderstorm development during transitional seasons.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (13/31) measuring 7,345 feet with an asphalt surface, providing adequate length for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its low elevation and coastal proximity suggest potential maritime wind influences and localized terrain-induced weather variations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 13/31's orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges depending on prevailing wind directions. Pilots should prepare for potential wind shifts and be cognizant of the runway's length limitations when planning approaches, particularly with larger or heavily loaded aircraft.
