About Nampula Airport
Overview
Nampula Airport serves the city of Nampula in Mozambique, located at coordinates -15.105600, 39.281799. Situated at an elevation of 1,444 feet MSL, this medium-sized airport provides essential air transportation infrastructure for the northern region of Mozambique. The airport features two runways: a 6,562-foot asphalted runway (05/23) and a 5,135-foot gravel runway (13/31).
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Nampula Airport are predominantly favorable for flying, with 54% VFR and 44.3% MVFR conditions. The prevailing wind comes from the northeast at an average of 7.8 knots, with occasional gusts up to 48 knots. Pilots can expect consistent visibility around 10 statute miles, with extremely rare instances of reduced visibility or fog. September through November represent the best VFR months for operations.
Notable Features
The airport's dual-runway configuration provides flexibility for different wind conditions. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with Runway 05/23 experiencing an average crosswind of 4.2 knots and Runway 13/31 averaging 5.9 knots of crosswind. Temperature variations range from 16°C to 36°C, with an average of 26.2°C, which pilots should consider for performance calculations.
Approach Considerations
Given the consistent northeast wind pattern, Runway 05/23 will typically be the preferred approach, offering the most aligned wind conditions. The airport's relatively long asphalted runway (6,562 feet) provides ample landing distance for most medium-sized aircraft. Pilots should be prepared for potential wind variability, though calm conditions occur in approximately 4.4% of observations.
