About Alas Leuser Airport

Overview

Alas Leuser Airport serves the Kutacane region in Indonesia, situated at an elevation of 419 feet above mean sea level. As a medium-sized airport located at coordinates 3.391456, 97.863726, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for the local area and supports regional transportation needs.

Flying Conditions

The airport's moderate elevation and tropical location suggest potential for variable weather conditions typical of Indonesian mountainous regions. Pilots should anticipate potential humidity, thermal variations, and localized weather phenomena that can impact visibility and wind conditions around the 5,358-foot asphalt runway.

Notable Features

The single runway (15/33) is oriented in a northwest-southeast direction, which may interact with local terrain and wind patterns. The surrounding geography appears to be mountainous, which could introduce complex local wind dynamics and potential turbulence during approach and departure phases.

Approach Considerations

Runway 15/33 offers a substantial 5,358-foot asphalt surface, providing adequate length for most regional aircraft operations. Given the airport's mountainous location, pilots should prepare for potential terrain-influenced wind shear and be prepared to conduct careful wind assessments during arrival and departure procedures.

Data Sources & Accuracy: Airport information sourced from OurAirports.com, a collaborative database of worldwide airport data. Weather data from official aviation weather services including NOAA Aviation Weather Center and international METAR/TAF providers. Information is updated regularly but pilots should always verify current conditions and NOTAMs through official channels before flight operations.
