About Kalimarau Airport

As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 59 feet above mean sea level, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for the local region. The airport's ICAO code WAQT identifies it within Indonesia's aviation network.

Flying Conditions

Located near the equator, Kalimarau Airport experiences tropical maritime climate conditions typical of Borneo. Pilots should anticipate high humidity and potential rapid weather changes characteristic of the region. The airport's relatively low elevation at 59 feet MSL suggests minimal terrain-induced weather variations.

Notable Features

The airport features a single asphalt runway (01/19) measuring 4,625 feet in length, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographic coordinates (2.147760, 117.430705) place it in a coastal region of East Kalimantan, with potential maritime and jungle terrain influences. The runway orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and departure.

Approach Considerations

Runway 01/19 provides a standard approach environment with 4,625 feet of asphalt surface. Pilots should prepare for potential crosswind conditions given the runway's linear north-south orientation.
