About Moulay Ali Cherif Airport
Overview
Moulay Ali Cherif Airport serves the Errachidia region in Morocco, situated at an elevation of 3,428 feet MSL. This medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the southeastern Moroccan region, connecting the area with broader transportation networks. Its strategic location in a high-altitude desert environment makes it an important transportation hub for the area.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 96.9% of observations reporting favorable visual flight rules. Winds predominantly blow from the west at an average of 5.6 knots, with occasional stronger gusts up to 31 knots. Temperature ranges significantly from -2°C to 35°C, with an average of 15.9°C, suggesting pilots should be prepared for potential thermal variations during flight operations.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (13/31) with a substantial length of 10,499 feet, constructed with asphalt surface. Its high-altitude location at 3,428 feet MSL presents potential performance considerations for aircraft, particularly during warmer temperatures. The surrounding terrain likely consists of desert or semi-arid landscape typical of southeastern Morocco.
Approach Considerations
Runway 13/31 demonstrates highly favorable wind conditions, with 100% wind alignment and a minimal average crosswind of 3.4 knots. Pilots will find September, October, and November offer the most consistently good VFR conditions. The extensive runway length provides significant operational flexibility for most aircraft types operating in this high-altitude environment.
