About Arandis Airport

Overview

Arandis Airport is a medium-sized airport located in Namibia at coordinates -22.461875, 14.979322, positioned at an elevation of 1,905 feet above mean sea level. The airport serves the Arandis region, providing essential aviation infrastructure in a strategic location within the country's transportation network.

Flying Conditions

Given the airport's elevation of 1,905 feet MSL, pilots should anticipate moderate density altitude variations that can impact aircraft performance, particularly during warmer periods. The airport's high desert location suggests potential for significant temperature fluctuations and potential wind variability along the primary runway 10/28.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (10/28) with an asphalt surface measuring 6,300 feet in length, which provides substantial operational capacity for medium-sized aircraft. Its geographic positioning in Namibia suggests potential exposure to regional terrain characteristics, including potential desert or arid landscape influences on local meteorological conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 10/28's extended 6,300-foot length offers pilots considerable runway distance for approach and landing operations. Pilots should carefully assess wind conditions and utilize the full runway length, paying particular attention to potential crosswind components given the single runway configuration.
