About Rawalakot Airport
Overview
Rawalakot Airport serves the Rawalakot region in Pakistan, positioned at an elevation of 5,479 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates 33.849701, 73.798103, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local area. The airport features a single asphalt runway (01/19) measuring 2,958 feet in length.
Flying Conditions
The airport's high elevation at 5,479 feet MSL significantly impacts aircraft performance and requires careful planning for takeoff and landing calculations. Pilots should anticipate potential challenges related to density altitude, particularly during warmer periods when aircraft performance can be substantially reduced. The mountainous terrain surrounding the airport likely contributes to variable and potentially complex local weather patterns.
Notable Features
Rawalakot Airport is situated in a mountainous region, which introduces specific terrain considerations for pilots. The single runway (01/19) is oriented in a north-south direction, which may influence approach and departure strategies. The asphalt surface provides standard operational capabilities for medium-sized aircraft appropriate to the airport's classification.
Approach Considerations
Runway 01/19's length of 2,958 feet requires precise aircraft management, especially given the high elevation. Pilots should conduct thorough performance calculations considering the airport's altitude and potential terrain-induced wind variations. Standard instrument approach procedures would be critical for safe navigation in this mountainous environment.
