About Misrata International Airport
Misrata International Airport (HLMS/MRA) is located in Misrata, LY at an elevation of 60 feet MSL. The airport has 1 runway (15/33), with the longest at 11,155 feet.
Weather Profile
HLMS is weather-challenged, with VFR conditions just 14.1% of the time across 646 observations. IFR/LIFR conditions are present 4.6% of the time, making an instrument rating essential for reliable access.
Wind Patterns & Runway Selection
Prevailing winds at HLMS come from the N (0°) with an average speed of 10.3 knots and recorded gusts up to 108 knots. Calm winds are rare (0.3%), so crosswind considerations are a regular factor. Runway 15/33 offers the lowest average crosswind component at 5.5 knots, making it the preferred choice in typical wind conditions.
Seasonal Considerations
The best months for VFR operations are December, November, October, when clear skies are most prevalent. Temperatures at the field range from 9°C (48°F) to 37°C (99°F), averaging 20.9°C (70°F). High temperatures can significantly impact aircraft performance through increased density altitude. Altimeter settings typically range from 29 to 31 inHg (982-1050 hPa).
