About Bata Airport

Overview

Bata Airport serves as a medium-sized airport located in Bata, Equatorial Guinea, situated at an elevation of 13 ft mean sea level. The airport features two asphalt runways: a primary runway 03/21 measuring 10,860 ft and a secondary runway 04/22 at 7,001 ft in length. Its strategic location provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region's transportation and logistics needs.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Bata Airport demonstrate consistently favorable flying environments, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions prevalent 78.6% of the time. The prevailing winds from the south (180°) average 5.5 knots, with temperature ranges between 22°C and 39°C and an average of 26.7°C. January, October, and December offer the most stable VFR conditions, making these months optimal for flight operations.

Notable Features

The airport's geographic positioning at coordinates 1.905470, 9.805680 places it in a relatively flat coastal region of Equatorial Guinea. Both runways demonstrate exceptional wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and minimal average crosswinds (3.4kt for 03/21 and 3.2kt for 04/22). Visibility consistently averages 10 statute miles, supporting reliable visual navigation.

Approach Considerations

Pilots can expect predictable approach conditions with consistently favorable wind alignments for both primary runways. The minimal crosswind components and stable weather patterns provide reliable landing opportunities throughout the year. Given the airport's low elevation and consistent meteorological characteristics, standard approach procedures should be straightforward for most aircraft categories.
