OVERVIEW

There is high ground rising to the South.

There is a hill rising to 480 ft amsl 3 nm to the NE just over 1 nm to the right of the VOR approach paths to RWY 24.

Surface winds can be strong due to the funneling effect of the hills. Most thunderstorm activity occurs during early summer and autumn.

DESCENT & APPROACH

Expect routing to the PAK NDB or AKT VOR for a visual approach or the VOR approach for RWY 06/24.

Circling is authorized to the North of the airfield only.

RUNWAY & AIRPORT FACILITIES

Rwy 06/24 (45 m wide): Arrester gear is reported at both ends of the runway. This does not, however, affect the TORA or LDAs.

Rwy 07R/25L (30 m wide) (TWY S since AIRAC 2406) is usually used as a taxiway, reported in poor condition.

No centerline marking on the apron or taxiways. Some taxiways are unsuitable for heavy aircraft. The apron has been extended but the Jeppesen chart does not reflect this. The terminal has limited capacity and only one set of passenger steps may be available.

TAKEOFF & DEPARTURE

RWY 24 Preferential RWY.
