About King Khaled Military City Airport

Overview

King Khaled Military City Airport serves as a strategic aviation facility located in central Saudi Arabia, positioned within King Khaled Military City. The airport operates as a medium-sized airport with significant military infrastructure at an elevation of 1,352 feet above mean sea level. Its geographical coordinates at 27.900900, 45.528198 indicate a location in the central Arabian region.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 1,352 ft MSL suggests a relatively moderate terrain environment typical of the Saudi Arabian plateau region. Pilots should anticipate potential temperature variations and potential thermal effects common in desert environments, which can impact aircraft performance, particularly during summer months. The single runway (13/31) configuration provides flexibility for operations under various wind conditions.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway 13/31 with an impressive length of 12,005 feet, constructed with asphalt surfacing. This substantial runway length accommodates a wide range of aircraft types and provides significant operational flexibility for military aviation requirements. The extensive runway allows for extended takeoff and landing capabilities, critical for military aircraft missions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 13/31's orientation suggests potential crosswind scenarios that pilots must consider during approach and landing procedures. The extended runway length provides additional safety margins for complex approach profiles. Pilots should prepare for potential desert environmental conditions that might affect visibility and aircraft performance during arrival and departure phases.
