About Muwaffaq Salti Air Base

Muwaffaq Salti Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the JO AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.

Overview

Muwaffaq Salti Air Base is a medium-sized airport located in Al Azraq, Jordan, serving military and potentially strategic aviation operations. Situated at an elevation of 1706 feet above mean sea level, the base provides critical infrastructure in the region with its geographical coordinates at 31.825600N, 36.782001E.

Flying Conditions

The airport's high elevation at 1706 ft MSL suggests potential temperature and density altitude variations that pilots must consider during flight planning. With two substantial asphalt runways - one 9015 feet long (08/26) and another 9777 feet long (13/31) - the airport can accommodate a wide range of aircraft types and operational requirements.

Notable Features

The base features two parallel-oriented runways with significantly different headings, allowing operational flexibility based on prevailing wind conditions. The substantial runway lengths (over 9000 feet) indicate the airport is designed to support larger aircraft and potentially serve as a strategic aviation hub in the region.

Approach Considerations

Pilots should carefully analyze wind direction when selecting runway 08/26 or 13/31, as the different runway orientations provide options for crosswind mitigation. The extended runway lengths provide additional safety margins for approach and landing, particularly important given the airport's elevated terrain and potential regional environmental challenges.
