About Hmeimim Air Base

Hmeimim Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the SY AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.

Overview

Hmeimim Air Base is situated in the coastal region of Latakia, Syria, serving as a strategically important military aviation facility. Located at coordinates 35.401100, 35.948700, the base operates at an elevation of 157 feet above mean sea level. Its medium-sized infrastructure supports regional military aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

The base's coastal location near the Mediterranean suggests potential for variable maritime weather conditions, including potential sea breezes and atmospheric moisture. At 157 feet MSL, the elevation indicates a relatively low-altitude environment with minimal terrain interference. Pilots should anticipate potential rapid weather shifts typical of coastal Syrian regions.

Notable Features

Hmeimim Air Base features a single runway (17/35) measuring 9,175 feet long with an asphalt surface (ASP). The runway orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges, particularly given the geographic location near coastal terrain. The substantial runway length accommodates a variety of military aircraft operations.

Approach Considerations

Runway 17/35's substantial length of 9,175 feet provides flexibility for approach and landing procedures. Given the runway's orientation, pilots should prepare for potential crosswind scenarios, especially during seasonal wind pattern changes. Standard military approach protocols and terrain awareness are critical when operating at this facility.
