About Spriggs Payne Airport

Overview

Spriggs Payne Airport serves as a critical medium-sized airport located in Monrovia, Liberia. Situated at an elevation of 25 feet above mean sea level, the airport plays a significant role in supporting regional and domestic aviation operations in Liberia's capital city.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation of 25 ft MSL suggests a coastal environment typical of Monrovia, which can experience high humidity and variable wind conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential maritime weather influences, including occasional low visibility and wind shifts associated with coastal atmospheric patterns.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (05/23) with an asphalted surface measuring 6000 feet in length. Its geographical coordinates at 6.289060, -10.758700 place it in a coastal region, which may introduce specific navigational and meteorological considerations for incoming and outgoing aircraft.

Approach Considerations

The 6000-foot runway allows for operations of medium-sized aircraft, with approaches potentially influenced by the coastal orientation. Runway 05/23 provides directional flexibility dependent on prevailing wind conditions, with pilots advised to monitor local wind patterns during approach and departure planning.
