About Hassi R'Mel Airport

Overview

Hassi R'Mel Airport is a medium-sized airport located in Algeria, situated at an elevation of 2,540 feet above mean sea level. The airport serves the Hassi R'Mel region, which is known for its significant natural gas and petroleum infrastructure. Its strategic location and substantial runway lengths make it an important facility for regional aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences predominantly favorable Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 91.8% of observations supporting VFR flight. Temperature ranges from -1°C to 37°C, with an average of 16.8°C, indicating potentially significant thermal variations. Winds are primarily from the southwest at 225° with an average speed of 8.8 knots, and visibility typically remains excellent at 10 statute miles.

Notable Features

Both primary runways (08/26 and 09/27) are constructed with asphalt surfaces, with the main runway 08/26 offering an impressive 9,835-foot length. The airport's elevation and geographic positioning suggest a semi-arid environment with potential for thermal and wind-related challenges. The airport demonstrates consistent wind conditions, with calm periods occurring only 4.3% of the time.

Approach Considerations

Both runways offer highly favorable wind alignments, with 100% wind compatibility for approaches. Average crosswind components remain low at approximately 5 knots, providing comfortable landing conditions. October, November, and September represent the most consistent VFR months, offering optimal flying conditions for pilots operating at Hassi R'Mel Airport.
