About Guemar Airport - مطار قمار بالوادي

Overview

Guemar Airport serves the Guemar region in Algeria, positioned at an elevation of 203 feet MSL. As a medium-sized airport with two substantial asphalted runways, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the southeastern Algerian desert region. The airport's coordinates (33.511398, 6.776790) place it in a strategically important location for regional transportation and potential military/commercial operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences predominantly favorable Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 75.8% of observations supporting clear weather operations. Winds predominantly originate from the southwest at 225° with an average speed of 5.8 knots, rarely exceeding 20 knots. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from 1°C to 41°C, with an average of 18.3°C, indicating potential challenging thermal conditions for aircraft performance.

Notable Features

Both primary runways (02/20 and 13/31) offer extensive landing surfaces, measuring 6,562 and 9,843 feet respectively. The airport demonstrates exceptional wind alignment, with both runways experiencing 100% favorable wind conditions. The geographical positioning suggests a desert/arid environment, which typically implies minimal terrain obstruction but potential dust/sand visibility considerations.

Approach Considerations

Pilots can expect highly consistent wind conditions with minimal crosswind challenges, averaging just 4.1 knots for Runway 02/20 and 3.5 knots for Runway 13/31. September through November represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for arrivals and departures. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with negligible fog occurrence and no significant low-visibility restrictions reported in the available meteorological data.
