About Tel Nof Air Base

Tel Nof Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the IL AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.

Overview

Tel Nof Air Base is a medium-sized airport located in Rehovot, Israel, situated at an elevation of 193 feet above mean sea level. The base is positioned at coordinates 31.839500, 34.821800, serving as an important military aviation facility in the region. Its strategic location and substantial runway infrastructure make it a significant operational airfield.

Flying Conditions

The airport features three substantial asphalt runways, with lengths ranging from 7830 to 7880 feet, providing versatile landing and takeoff options. Being located in central Israel, the airport experiences typical Mediterranean climate conditions, which can include hot summers and mild winters. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal variations and local wind patterns that might affect approach and departure procedures.

Notable Features

Tel Nof Air Base offers three parallel runways: 15L/33R, 15R/33L, and 18/36, all constructed with asphalt surfaces. The multiple runway configuration allows for operational flexibility and helps mitigate wind-related challenges during aircraft movements. The airport's moderate elevation and geographical positioning provide relatively stable approach conditions for various aircraft types.

Approach Considerations

With runways oriented in multiple directions (15/33 and 18/36), pilots have multiple options for approach based on prevailing wind conditions. The substantial runway lengths (between 7830-7880 feet) accommodate a wide range of aircraft, providing ample landing and takeoff distance. Approach planning should consider the local terrain and potential wind variations typical of the region.
