About Bani Sweif Air Base
Bani Sweif Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the EG AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Bani Sweif Air Base is a medium-sized airport located in Egypt, situated near the city of Bani Sweif at an elevation of 102 feet above mean sea level. The airport serves as a strategic aviation facility in the central region of Egypt, positioned at coordinates 29.202240, 31.013471.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation of 102 ft MSL indicates a relatively low-altitude environment with potentially stable atmospheric conditions. Pilots should be prepared for typical Middle Eastern regional weather patterns, which can include periods of high temperatures and potential visibility challenges during certain seasons.
Notable Features
Bani Sweif Air Base features two substantial runways: a primary runway 01/19 measuring 11,565 feet in length and a secondary runway 06/24 measuring 9,843 feet, both constructed with asphalt (ASP) surfaces. The substantial runway lengths provide flexibility for various aircraft types and operational requirements.
Approach Considerations
With two runways oriented at different headings (01/19 and 06/24), pilots have multiple approach options depending on prevailing wind conditions. The extensive runway lengths of over 9,000 feet provide significant margin for safe landings and takeoffs across a range of aircraft performance envelopes.
