About Ras Tanajib Airport
Overview
Ras Tanajib Airport serves the As Saffaniyah region in Saudi Arabia, located at coordinates 27.867800, 48.769100. Situated at a low elevation of 30 ft mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure in the northeastern part of the country.
Flying Conditions
The airport's coastal location near the Persian Gulf suggests potential for variable wind conditions and maritime weather influences. With an elevation of only 30 ft MSL, pilots can expect generally stable atmospheric conditions with minimal terrain-related turbulence.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (15/33) with an asphalt surface measuring 8,005 feet in length. Its geographical position suggests potential exposure to desert and maritime weather patterns, which could impact visibility and surface wind conditions during different seasons.
Approach Considerations
Runway 15/33 provides a substantial 8,005-foot landing surface, accommodating a wide range of aircraft types. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind scenarios given the runway's orientation and the airport's coastal geographic context, and prepare accordingly during approach and landing phases.
