About Maku National Airport
Overview
Maku National Airport serves the northwestern Iranian region near the border with Turkey, situated in the Showt area at an elevation of 3,136 feet above mean sea level. As a medium-sized airport, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local area, supporting regional transportation and potential military/civil operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport's high elevation at 3,136 ft MSL suggests challenging atmospheric conditions, particularly during seasonal temperature variations that can impact aircraft performance. Pilots should anticipate potential density altitude effects, especially during warmer months, which can significantly influence takeoff and landing characteristics.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (13/31) with an impressive length of 10,827 feet, constructed with an asphalt surface. Its substantial runway length provides flexibility for various aircraft types and can accommodate larger aircraft operations, with the orientation aligned approximately northeast/southwest.
Approach Considerations
Given the runway's 13/31 orientation, approach and departure paths will be most influenced by winds tracking along the northeast-southwest axis. The extended runway length of 10,827 feet offers substantial margin for safe operations, though pilots should carefully calculate performance parameters considering the airport's significant elevation.
