About Bangoka International Airport

Overview

Bangoka International Airport serves Kisangani, a major city in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Located at 0.481639N, 25.337999E with an elevation of 1,417 feet MSL, the airport supports medium-sized aviation operations. Its single runway 13/31 extends 11,483 feet with an asphalt surface.

Flying Conditions

Weather observations indicate predominantly MVFR conditions, which occur in 78.6% of recorded periods. Winds typically blow from the southwest at 225 degrees, averaging 7.3 knots with occasional gusts up to 18 knots. Temperature ranges between 19°C and 34°C, with an average of 27.7°C, providing generally stable atmospheric conditions.

Notable Features

The airport's geographical position in central Congo suggests potential for challenging terrain and variable local weather patterns. With calm wind conditions occurring 8.8% of the time, pilots should be prepared for potential wind variability. The airport's elevation and location may introduce localized meteorological phenomena not captured in standard statistical averages.

Approach Considerations

Runway 13/31 offers favorable wind alignment 100% of the time, with an average crosswind component of 5.3 knots. Optimal visual flight conditions are most prevalent during September, October, and January. Pilots should anticipate MVFR conditions and prepare accordingly, with minimal risk of extremely low visibility (fog occurs only 1.4% of the time).
