About Mosul International Airport
Overview
Mosul International Airport (ORBM) serves the city of Mosul in northern Iraq, functioning as a critical medium-sized airport in the region. Located at coordinates 36.305801, 43.147400, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the Nineveh Governorate at an elevation of 719 feet above mean sea level.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation of 719 ft MSL suggests a moderate terrain environment with potential for temperature and density altitude variations. Pilots should anticipate typical continental climate conditions characteristic of northern Iraq, which can include significant temperature fluctuations and potential dust or sandstorm events.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (15/33) with a substantial length of 8,695 feet constructed of concrete surface. Its geographic position in northern Iraq means terrain surrounding the airport likely includes a mix of flat and gently undulating landscapes typical of the Mesopotamian plain.
Approach Considerations
Runway 15/33 offers a considerable 8,695-foot length, providing ample space for medium-sized aircraft operations. The runway's orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations, with wind direction and runway alignment being critical factors for approach and landing planning.
