About Japura Airport

Overview

Japura Airport serves the Rengat region in central Sumatra, Indonesia, providing essential air transportation infrastructure for the local area. Located at an elevation of 62 feet above mean sea level, the airport supports medium-scale aviation operations with its single asphalt runway.

Flying Conditions

Situated near the equator, Japura Airport experiences consistent tropical weather patterns with potential rapid atmospheric changes typical of Indonesian coastal regions. Pilots should anticipate potential convective activity and localized weather variations due to the airport's geographical position on Sumatra Island.

Notable Features

The airport features a 4,265-foot runway (10/28) oriented in an east-west configuration, which is suitable for smaller commercial and regional aircraft. Its low elevation and proximity to coastal terrain suggests potential wind shear and microclimate considerations during approach and departure phases.

Approach Considerations

Runway 10/28's asphalt surface provides standard operational capabilities for medium-sized aircraft. Given the runway's east-west orientation, pilots should anticipate potential crosswind components and prepare accordingly during landing and takeoff procedures.
