About Cut Nyak Dhien Airport

Overview

Cut Nyak Dhien Airport serves the Kuala Pesisir region in Indonesia, situated at an elevation of 10 feet mean sea level. As a medium-sized airport, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for local and regional transportation needs in the area. The airport is strategically located at coordinates 4.040998°N, 96.253312°E.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation of 10 ft MSL indicates a coastal or near-coastal environment, which typically implies potential for variable wind conditions and marine layer influences. Pilots should anticipate potential humidity and visibility challenges characteristic of Indonesian maritime regions. Seasonal weather variations are likely to impact flight operations throughout the year.

Notable Features

The airport is positioned in a coastal area of Indonesia, which suggests potential terrain considerations for approach and departure procedures. Its geographical location may involve interactions with local topographical features and maritime weather patterns. The medium-sized classification indicates the airport can support a range of aircraft operations appropriate to its infrastructure.

Approach Considerations

Given the low elevation and coastal location, pilots should be prepared for potential wind shear and visibility challenges during approaches. The specific runway configuration and preferred approach vectors would depend on local wind patterns and airport-specific procedures. Standard maritime airport caution is recommended when operating at Cut Nyak Dhien Airport.
