About Almaza Air Force Base
Almaza Air Force Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the EG AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Almaza Air Force Base is located in El Nozha, Egypt, serving as a medium-sized military airport situated near Cairo. The base is positioned at an elevation of 246 feet above mean sea level, with geographical coordinates of 30.091702, 31.359739, indicating its strategic location in the greater Cairo metropolitan area.
Flying Conditions
Egypt's climate presents typically dry conditions with minimal precipitation, which generally supports stable flying environments at Almaza Air Force Base. The airport's dual runway configuration (05/23 and 18/36) provides operational flexibility across different wind conditions, with total runway lengths of 3,917 and 6,726 feet respectively, both constructed with asphalt surfaces.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways with different orientations, which allows for adaptable operations depending on wind direction and air traffic requirements. Its proximity to Cairo suggests the potential for complex airspace interactions and the need for precise navigation and communication protocols when operating in this region.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should be prepared to utilize either the 05/23 or 18/36 runway depending on prevailing wind conditions and air traffic control instructions. The substantial difference in runway lengths (3,917 ft vs 6,726 ft) provides options for different aircraft types and operational needs, with the longer runway offering more flexibility for larger aircraft.
