About Maymana Zahiraddin Faryabi Airport
Overview
Maymana Zahiraddin Faryabi Airport serves the city of Maymana in Afghanistan, operating as a medium-sized regional airport. Situated at an elevation of 2,743 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the northern region of the country. Its strategic location at coordinates 35.930801, 64.760902 supports local transportation and regional connectivity.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation at 2,743 feet MSL indicates a moderate altitude environment with potential for temperature and density altitude variations. Pilots should anticipate potential performance considerations related to the airport's higher-than-sea-level elevation, particularly during warmer months. The geographical location suggests potential for variable meteorological conditions typical of Afghanistan's continental climate.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (14/32) with a length of 5,090 feet and a gravel/volcanic surface (GVL). The runway orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges, which pilots should carefully assess during approach and landing. The gravel surface requires specific landing and takeoff techniques compared to paved runway environments.
Approach Considerations
Runway 14/32's 5,090-foot length accommodates medium-sized aircraft with appropriate performance planning. Pilots should prepare for potential surface variations and adjust landing techniques accordingly for the gravel runway. Wind assessment and crosswind component calculations will be crucial for safe operations at this airport.
