About Oksibil Airport
Overview
Oksibil Airport serves the remote region of Papua, Indonesia, located at coordinates -4.907100, 140.627700. The airport is classified as a medium airport situated at an elevation of 4,315 feet above mean sea level. It provides critical transportation infrastructure for the mountainous and geographically challenging Oksibil area.
Flying Conditions
The airport's high elevation of 4,315 feet MSL indicates significant altitude considerations for aircraft performance and operations. Pilots should anticipate potential challenges related to density altitude, particularly during warmer periods which can impact aircraft climb performance. The mountainous terrain surrounding the airport likely produces variable and potentially turbulent local weather conditions.
Notable Features
Oksibil Airport features a single runway (11/29) with a length of 2,854 feet, which is relatively short and requires careful performance planning. The airport's location in a mountainous region of Papua suggests complex terrain and potential wind shear or turbulence considerations. Precise navigation and thorough pre-flight planning are essential for safe operations at this airport.
Approach Considerations
Runway 11/29 orientation suggests potential wind exposure from different quadrants, necessitating careful wind assessment during approach and landing. The airport's elevation and surrounding terrain will require heightened situational awareness and potentially more conservative approach procedures. Pilots should be prepared for potential rapid weather changes and limited alternate airport options in this remote region.
