About Bou Saada Airport
Overview
Bou Saada Airport serves the Ouled Sidi Brahim region in Algeria, positioned at an elevation of 1506 feet MSL. As a medium-sized airport with a single runway (04/22) measuring 7218 feet in length, it provides critical aviation infrastructure in this geographic area. The airport's infrastructure supports various aviation operations in the region.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Bou Saada Airport are predominantly favorable for visual flight rules (VFR), with 58.8% of observations supporting VFR and 40% in marginal VFR conditions. Winds predominantly blow from the west (270°) at an average of 7.1 knots, with temperature ranges from -1°C to 38°C. October, November, and September represent the most consistent VFR months for pilots.
Notable Features
The airport's runway (04/22) is asphalted and oriented to take maximum advantage of local wind patterns. With 100% favorable wind alignment and an average crosswind of only 5.6 knots, the runway offers excellent operational flexibility. The airport's elevation at 1506 feet MSL indicates a moderate terrain environment that requires standard mountainous region considerations.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect excellent wind alignment on runway 04/22, with westerly winds being the most consistent. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with extremely rare instances of restricted visibility or fog (only 0.4% of observations). Temperature variations suggest pilots should plan for potential density altitude considerations during warmer months.
