About Rembele Airport

Overview

Rembele Airport serves the Takengon region in Indonesia, situated at a significant elevation of 4,648 feet above mean sea level. As a medium-sized airport, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for the local area, connecting the mountainous region of Aceh province with broader transportation networks.

Flying Conditions

Located near 4.7° North latitude, the airport experiences tropical mountain climate conditions typical of Sumatra's highland regions. Pilots should anticipate potential significant temperature and density altitude variations due to the airport's substantial 4,648-foot elevation, which can impact aircraft performance.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (09/27) with an asphalt surface measuring 3,837 feet in length, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographical coordinates (4.721130, 96.851943) place it in a mountainous terrain environment, which may introduce complex local wind and orographic conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 09/27's orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing. Pilots should carefully assess local terrain, wind patterns, and the airport's elevation when planning arrivals, particularly given the mountainous surrounding landscape and the runway's moderate length.
