About Marudi Airport

Overview

Marudi Airport serves the local aviation needs in Sarawak, Malaysia, located at coordinates 4.178734, 114.330318. Situated at an elevation of 103 feet above mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the region.

Flying Conditions

As an airport in Malaysia, Marudi experiences a tropical equatorial climate with consistent humidity and potential rapid weather changes. Pilots should anticipate potential thunderstorm development and reduced visibility during monsoon seasons, which can impact the single 3274-foot asphalted runway.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway (10/28) is oriented east-west, which may influence approach and departure strategies depending on local wind conditions. Its relatively low elevation of 103 feet MSL suggests a terrain environment that is likely flat or gently undulating, typical of many Malaysian regional airports.

Approach Considerations

Approach to runway 10/28 should consider the 3274-foot runway length, which requires careful planning for aircraft performance and landing distances. Pilots must be mindful of potential crosswind components given the runway's linear east-west orientation and the region's variable wind patterns.
