About Bakel Airport
Overview
Bakel Airport serves the Bakel region in Senegal, positioned at coordinates 14.847300, -12.468300. As a medium airport situated at 98 feet above mean sea level, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and potentially supporting local economic activities in southeastern Senegal.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation of 98 ft MSL suggests a relatively low-altitude environment typical of the Senegalese landscape. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal activity and localized wind variations common in the Sahel region, which can impact approach and departure conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (07/25) with a substantial length of 5,741 feet, classified as a MAC (Medium Aircraft) runway. Its orientation allows for potential wind-aligned approaches from both easterly (07) and westerly (25) directions, providing operational flexibility based on prevailing wind conditions.
Approach Considerations
With a runway length of 5,741 feet, the airport can accommodate medium-sized aircraft operations. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction and utilize the runway alignment that provides the most favorable headwind component for safe takeoff and landing procedures.
