About Kamphaeng Saen Airport

Overview

Kamphaeng Saen Airport is located in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand, serving as a medium-sized airport at an elevation of 30 feet mean sea level. The airport provides critical aviation infrastructure in central Thailand, positioned at coordinates 14.102000, 99.917198. Its primary runway 03/21 is a substantial 9,000-foot concrete surface capable of supporting a range of aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation of 30 feet MSL suggests a relatively flat terrain with minimal vertical challenges for approach and departure. Given its central Thai location, pilots should anticipate potential seasonal weather variations typical of the region, including potential monsoon-related precipitation and wind shifts. Temperature and humidity can significantly impact aircraft performance, particularly during takeoff and landing.

Notable Features

Kamphaeng Saen's runway 03/21 offers a long 9,000-foot concrete surface, providing substantial operational flexibility for different aircraft types. The airport's geographical positioning in Nakhon Pathom places it in a strategically important region of central Thailand, with surrounding terrain that appears relatively uniform and unobstructed. Pilots should be prepared for potential local meteorological and terrain-related considerations during flight planning.

Approach Considerations

The single runway (03/21) suggests standard approach procedures aligned with the runway's designated heading. Pilots should conduct standard preflight planning, considering runway length, surface condition, and potential wind variations. The concrete runway surface provides reliable traction and should support most standard aircraft approach and landing techniques.
